Chinese and Japanese

I tried to put some names at namedrive for the first time, and it rejected:

ゴックン.com Your entry contains invalid characters.



Does anybody have asian char names there? If not, then any suggestions where to park them other than sedo?

Yes, namedrive is where all my parked IDN are. You have to input the punycode not the unicode and it will translate that into unicode for you to manage your domains. Try it.

Thanks. BTW, it let me enter french chars...

Japanese names work best on minisites indexed on Yahoo Japan.

Hi,
Not certain I grasp your economy of expression in this case. Are you saying that for japanese character domains I should develop mini-sites and submit them to yahoo.jp instead of parking them at namedrive? Or what exactly?

Yes, minisites with adsense will bring in far more than parking them. Japanese IDNs are notoriously hard (in my experience anyway) to monetise by parking them.
