My Longest IDN

[thefabfive]

Just registered what I believe is my longest IDN:

睡眠時無呼吸症候群.com - Sleep Apnea (full version) - Japanese

Stats are somewhat surprising for such a long term
JP Ovt = 19125
JP Ovt High Bid = ¥187 with 20 totals bids.
Google.co.jp results = 481K
also has some tiny Google trends

There seem to be at least two shorter versions of this as well. I picked them up to have the complete set, but this term has the best stats.

it is a good idn.

my longest is five characters.

9 Characters is very long for Kanji or Hanzi. You are talking getting on 30 keystokes to input all these characters. However, if that is what they use, that is probably what they will use, although the shorter versions might be more popular as domain names. Overture Seach and Type-In do not correlate as well for long combinations, even in English as they do for simple one word keyword. Searches often refine search by putting in two or three terms. This approach doesn't work as well for direct navigation.

The is term 不動産コンサルタント isn't as long as the second part is Kana, which generally takes fewer keystokes. I don't believe it is the visual length of the word that is would be the limitation.

I agree that direct navigation will probably be very minor for this domain.

The short version that I found was 無呼吸 (Apnea), but JP Ovt was only 3565. Somewhat perplexing but I'm actually curious to see how this domain does. I think a little development and SEO are in order.

Another thing you should consider though, is whether the incidence of Sleep Apnea is as great in Japan as it is in America. A diet of raw fish produces many few Obese people than one of Hamburgers and Fries, washed down with Coke.
