Yahoo submission of .ASIA domains

[dterryr]

Hi,

It's currently impossible to submit a .ASIA domain to the yahoo.com crawler. In addition, very few of our .ASIA domains are appearing in search engine results, albeit for reasons of undeveloped sites, no inbound links etc etc.


Nevertheless, the only way our .ASIA domains will gain value is if they become ubiquitous in search-engine listings. Even if Yahoo is doing us no favors, let's all make an effort to submit our .ASIA domains to as many engines as possible, and list them in as many forums as possible. That way we'll all benefit!

and a few adult ones

You can also list developed asia sites to: www.mysites.asia for free. MySites.asia is indexed in google and gets some hits from it. So this will help too.

Another thing we could do is exchange links between .asia sites - lets hope all search engines index .asia sites asap.

Perhaps it might be more effective to submit names that are not obvious trademark violations... just a thought.

Fair enough, point taken - and it only took a couple of posts to draw out a negative response!

Not to mention the Sunrise and Landrush phases that any copyright holders had to secure these domains if they WANTED them. Or should they be eternally entitled to domains even if they're not bothered to even apply for them?

Just a thought...

 

[dterryr]

For some reason my previous reply wasn't posted, so here goes again...

Trademark violations or not, why would it be more effective?

Secondly, with several .ASIA Sunrise periods followed by a Landrush period, don't you think that any would-be rights to a domain would have been claimed, or do they exist ETERNALLY even if a domain is not applied for by a patent owner? Until such time that any patent owner asserts their rights to domains that I have purchased, I am within my rights to use them. Or not?

Thirdly, if I offered you microsoft.asia for 20 USD and told you that I didn't believe that MS wanted it, would you buy it? That question is specifically for npcomplete and his holier-than-thou attitude (yes, I've seen your site).

The company with rights to your trademarked names, were most probably very busy and either didn't know the .asia auction was on or didn't consider people taking TM'ed names.

Since you asked, do the trademark holders have an 'ETERNAL CLAIM' on your trademarked domain names. The answer to this is, they most certainly do have right to extract your trademarked names from you, either by threat or lastly through force, by taking you to court for the names, yes this is an eternal claim. It is illegal to have trademarked names, but whether the companies in question will bother to follow you up on the names is a different matter

But then again, you are not alone, there is an incredible amount of trademarked domain names displayed in the .asia showase thread. It seemed many .Asia domainers went on a trademark buying spree!

It's my own site: SyedAhmed.com. I am very new to this whole domain game but learning very quickly. I don't have any developed ASIA sites, yet. I'll definitely submit my ASIA sites to mysites.asia once developed.

Whoever wants to get their ASIA domain listed on my site, go to http://syedahmed.com/dotasia.aspx

It's not the BEST site but I do get around 300 visitors a month. Again, I am new to whole web devleoping and domain game.

Great work, thanks guys -

I'll also create a page for listing .ASIA URLs and post the link here in 24 hrs or so.

Go to http://syedahmed.com/dotasia.aspx to get your ASIA domains listed on my site. Feel free to suggest new categories.

Great site.

Cheers Tabisis.

Emailed my best .ASIA domains.

Feel free to email me your best domains and I will paste them on the Front page of my site:

www.ForexTraders.asia

(offers already received for some names!)

 

[dterryr]

I imagine that trademark jurisdiction and duration would present more of a legal argument than eternal claim.

Apologies that it has taken so long to put the site together, but anyone that would like to post their .asia domains on http://www.bizdir.asia is more than welcome.

You would need to register first, that way you can manage your own post later. Social bookmarking for individual posts is available.

If you prefer, you can just PM me your domains with a description and I'll add them for you.
