I've been into domaining for a few months now,mostly picking out my own names with some success.I've had 4 sales ,3 in the $XXX.
But lately I've been checking out deleting names,and I managed to get one that dropped today that has a 2.8 Million Alexa ranking.
It's Xiari.net,and apparently it's a popular name/word in China.
(The Alexa ranking for xiari.cn.st is 267!) All of the online translators I've tried don't have a match,so I have no idea what it means,if anything.
My question is,how much traffic can I expect from a 2.8 mil ranked domain? Also how would I place Chinese ads on it?
And finally how much could it be worth?
Any insight whatsoever would be beneficial to me on this one.Thanks.

Hi Matt,
It's difficult to sell a .net domain to China market.

HI

I also have some Chinese domains with daily traffic and yet have to find away to turn the traffic in to income

sedo is not really working for them...

But im sure over time there will be a demand for chinese traffic..

Thanks

imo... not really a good alexa rating...

Thanks for the input everyone.I have to say I didn't think there was such a thing as a bad Alexa ranking.I just figured if it was ranked,it's getting traffic and was a decent investment for $8.
I just picked up a domain that dropped today that ranks 468,753 with Alexa.I thought that was exceptional.Where is the cutoff for what's generally considered a good/bad Alexa ranking?
You would think considering China is the most populated country that there would be a pretty big market.I realize my chances of making a sale are slim.but at least I want to figure out a way to get some Chinese ads on the parked page and see what happens.

My rule of thumb is... unless the name is exceptional in it's own right... I don't even look at ranks over 5 figures.

That's just my guideline...

Good Luck
Jennifer
