昆山.com Kunshan (Chinese County-level City) $2,374 snapnames

This must be a record price for a chinese geographic, dollar for quality.

RD must be a happy guy now. :)

Let's hope this recognition of value flows through to other Asian city domains in the near future...

[blastfromthepast]

Not surprising. Considering even .ws geographics have good value.

Population for Kunshan is about 700,000 so not a huge city by China's proportions.
It is really good news to get a Chinese city on the Snapnames map.

As I have said before, seamo and bill's network will soon be worth million...(thinking whether or not to put the S at the end of Million).

Most city dot jps are reserved by the jp registry for government use. The only available exts for commercial purposes that suit Japanese' tastes are com and net.

It seems that Chinese wakes up to domains earlier than the Japanese, but when Japan wakes up, it will make many IDNFers millionaires.

Makes me wish I wouldn't have been so narrow minded in my regging in the early days. I just went for good ole generics and left the cities to themselves. DAMN IT. But I'll take all the good sales figures our IDNs can get. Good news for all.

Those generics you got might be a bit easier to monetize than geo-domains, no?

Yeah, getting them in the search engines and making money on ppc is no problem. They work very well and they are paying off.

It's just I'd like to make a sale here and there for development purposes and in the last two weeks I've had two buyers back out without any explanation. Seems the cities are selling. Or maybe I just need some deodorant. :o

Small city, but a big one for a county. :)

Just don't sell yourself short, man.

I, too bypassed geo domains for pure generics in the past. I have more faith in these because they tend to go beyond geo-targeting. And, with the proper subdomain you can have that as well :)

Thanks for a moment there I thought I missed the parade. But you are correct. subdomains can do wonders.

But still experiment with the deodorant theory.

Yeah, I got hooked on Axe. I know I'm a consumer afterall. Maybe I'm over doing it? Hm... Life is just so damn complicated.

Or maybe it's the avatar? No amount of deodorant can help for that! :o

Yea, the avatar.
I had a thing for the faceless businessman one.

It's Van Gogh guys. And Drewbert says I need to get out more. Get some culture. Oh, and when you go to Amsterdam to see the museum.... Crap I forgot what I was going to say. :confused:

I have read that GEO's are the best fruit of the domaining game , And that is fairly easy to develope them. You can put pretty much put a unlimited amount of things on a City if you are the Mayor.

Lets face it, who ever went around art galleries except with some hot chick?

Want me to list the countries and nationalities. :eek: At one point I thought about writing a book, never got around to it.
