Some time ago I wrote about the use of mini sites as opposed to parking and I found at that time that there was little difference in the returns.
That was with ascii . There is now a rapidly growing interest in IDN's and I just thought I would share a little experience.
I had 20 Chinese IDN developed in to minisites about 4 months ago.
Today 17 of those mini sites sit at page 3 (Some page 1) or better on Baidu.com and some have page 1-3 ranking on Google.cn . The best of the names is now getting traffic in excess of 60 per day and growing as are the traffic stats of the other names. (Mainly because of page rank.)
They are mainly .com/.cn but perhaps the one of most interest is in fact a .cc , 汉语.cc (xn--nswy88d.cc) Chinese.cc in Chinese, page 3 of Baidu.com out of 24 million + searches.
And they are making money from clicks, not much yet but very encouraging.
Yep, it looks like those strange squiggly character things are going to be a gihuge success. :imho:
