Value of English .cn names

[charley]

What value can one fetch if he has an English .cn name with more than 10,000 overture searches ? I mean both Adult and Non Adult names.

Are there any such sold names?

Not much. There really is no sensible market for English language dot CN.

Do you mean that, even if there are top keywords, don't invest in them.

Only invest in terms that are meaningful to your target market.

My presumption is that dot CN will be aimed at the mainland China Market, but of course perhaps that is a misassumption when ccTLDs are used as gTLDs, however, unsuccessfully.

Chinese will be familar with a small number of English terms that have truly International reach, but I think you can measure these in dozens rather than hundreds and certainly not thousands.

Pending the full introduction of Chinese Character Domains (IDN) you will continue to see the propularity of Pinyin Names, those with Latin Characters but communicating something in Chinese. Within 2 years even most of these will be worthless as Pinyin is almost totally superceded by full chinese character domains.

Nice Link

Do you know a whois tool for .cn ?

[Natures]

Charly, it is very rude to send private messages about what you are selling to me and yet you will not accept private messages. Please do not send me any more of your private messages. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU ARE SELLING!!

He had an extra .com in the link.

There's the working link - http://www.ename.cn/userSaleList.jsp?topage=1&Keyword=&SType=&TLD=&Status=4&PStatus=1&mPrice=&Suid=&SClass=&IClass=&dtdate=&Order=mPrice-Desc&position=&text=0&digit=0&hyphens=0&show=&cat=

ename.cn is probably a broker foe these sales - like Afternic?

Only some newbies are interested in PinYin, the really valuablest name is English name all the same.

PinYin names are just sutible for small site.

The chinese famous sites' domain name are almost English or root in English

Now if you have reported sales like at $25K, why wouldn't they get reported in DNJournal? Also, the most expensive sales are for .com.cn which makes no sense at all.

As for English, if Chinese have to have a special commission to fix bad English signs for the Olympics, supposedly put up by expert translators in the first place, how do you expect regular people to use English?

The chinese characters are from right to left. So is the English translation! :p



Btw, from dnjournal:

eFax.com.cn €15,000 = $18,806 Sedo 10/10/06

Game.com.cn $35,000 11/22/2005 Sedo

A note: Some of the sale might actually be website sale.

I retained a few that I thought hold value - sometime :)

Hong-Kong.cn / .com..cn , versions without hyphen were reserved.

Putonghua.cn

L1.cn

G1.cn

Ape.cn

Not sure why I kept the last three, maybe been together for quite a while, just an old sentimentalist.

Offers from China tend to be way up in the high $xx!
