New in IDN and giving it a try...

[metronome]

Just went to dynadot and bought 报到.com (supposed to be chinese simplified)
I wonder how to park this domain.
Any tips on parking the domain is greatly appreciated well, right now it is parked at dynadot parking service

if you think 报到.com is bad name please tell me too

the problem is that in the same word in chinese there are so many meaning>.<, and sometimes the meaning doesnt match the english one:D
thanks

note:
I searched the 报到 over 3 sites, google translator tells me that it means "scene", but yahoo translator tells me that it means "registration", and mandarintools.com tells me that it means "register" or "check in". pretty weird, how come it has a lot of meaning in just that words>.<

I didn't look up the name but register names using dynadot. They give you a 4 day window to delete it for credit if you make a mistake.

You can sign up for sedo or namedrive parking. Use the punycode "xn--blabla" instead of the unicode. It will be recognized.

cool, I am parking it on sedo right now....well quite hopeful of it tho I doubt it will make some money for now>.<:D.

Hey Metro,

I did my best trying to dig around for information on this domain... 0 trends, 0 HK OVT, and I think 0 Baidu Searches.

I'm not sure if the domain is brandable, but I wouldn't assume it'd get traffic. I don't even know if this is in simplified or traditional, so please, don't take what I say as fact... lol. I've stayed away from Chinese IDNs because I couldn't find an effective way at finding traffic domains.

it is simplified chinese, the traditional chinese version one is taken>.<
it is pronounced "Pao Tao" (pin yin: bao dao)

imo, the simplified one shud have been able to gain more traffic than the traditional ones but apparently, the japanese can read this word too (報到, the traditional version) in almost same exact meaning, so guess the traditional version could get traffic from taiwan and japan and from chinese that still remember how to write traditional ones. While the simplified version shud be able to get traffic from mainly china....

yea. the traffic is kinda bad in sedo, but guess it is because I just parked it for awhile. seems like the only sure way to monetize the IDN domain is to resell it>.<

btw, baidu searches = baidu.com?
I put the 报到 into baidu searches and it gets 19,000,000 results
if I put "报到.com" there it gets 8,000,000+ results
if I put "inurl:报到.com" there, it generate 1400+ results

dunno if it is good or bad

about HK OVT I dont know how to check it....hmmm
need the URL actually
any info about this HK OVT is great.

@FKA

found the HK overture link
hmm, I think the reason there is 0 ovt HK is because you put both 报到 word into the HK Ovt.....

报到 a word that consists of another 2 words 报 and 到
so if they are combined they make another word, but alone, they each has its own meaning
if I put 报到 the result is 0
if I put 报 the result is 50+
if I put 到 the result is 1300+

not sure if it will helps

it's kinda like "check in" word, check has its own meaning, in has its own meaning, but nah not sure about OVT HK
another reason is may be because HK people doesnt search "register" or "check in"(in simplified chinese) too much I guess. may be everytime they search for "register" they will just put the english "register" into search engine except of simplified chinese "register" since HK people can speak english pretty well too:D

honestly, this is my first time using OVT HK, so I can be wrong too:D.

The overturetools don't give it any credit and baidu 'traffic estimator' comes up empty as does google's traffic estimator, I'd dump the name.

I collected some of these tools at idntools.net.

The basic links are;
https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox
http://www.google.com/trends
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/?mkt=tw

If it's Chinese simplified then it wouldn't turn up any searches on HK Ovt.

Hong Kong and Taiwan use traditional.

And, there's no ovt for mainland China, but if it's a huge term it should show results on US overture, me thinks.
