Hi everyone, I am requesting everyone not to leave hateful, or such comments , please no personal negative (calling anyonestupid etc) comments. Thanks. We are all here to take risks, those who taks risks, succeed, make live the dream life, those who dont, live normal person, its just a investm some lose, some game, so please do not hate someone if someone is going for the extension that you dont like. Thanks again. This is brief topic which would provide the great information for the .asia investors, this topic will summarize some of the pros and cons of .asia. I have myself invested in 100+ .in .dot asia domains. Lets talk about why is .dot asia is good? In the past there were so many extensions that were launched, for example, differnt countries extensions, such as eu, es, sc, sh, co.uk,me.uk, ca, li, la, de. People sometimes do not even know if such extension ever exist, some of them are so shocked to find about this. I mean how are people with those extensions are going to get unique hits, if the audience doesnt even know such extensions exit. Mentioning the fact, it results in extension failure, not getting great feedback, and we domainers end up losing our money. .ASIA is not confusing extension, though it is first like actually spelled word "asia" extension, which is not confusing, rather than that it is unique and stands out alone. .Asia has been in talk since 2001 or 2002, if I am not mistaken. There are so many extensions in the .asia regions, I mean easy to get confuse, to sum them up under one extension, I think it is great idea. My personal opinion, this extension will do great, as we may see, even the plurals of dictionary words are going much faster than any other extensions, all N-N, L-L, are going within the first week, I think it will be first that will stand after .com. .Asia is unique one word, not just it is code of the country itself. Some people argue that .EU had not done so well in the domainer world, but I think that was much confusing extension , due to we have .ES, extension which is very similar to that .eu. But this did not really do so well, due to being very short, and so many other cctlds are similar to that, which ended up confusing audience. .Asia is very populated region, and people are getting familar with computers now, even I am from India, I remember few years ago, I didnt even see the computer, but now I am much familar with it, and people are just even going crazy to market themselves online, to earn money. According to the experts, it had been estimated, in the year of 2010, there will be more users online in the asia region than there are in North america region, So I better secure some good domains for the profit sake. Lets talk about some of the things, that may come out true. Lets put some light on those facts. Domain world is getting bigger, alot of people are getting familar with domains, etc, want to earn money by simply buying domains and make money and not doing anything, which is very true. People are branding different extensions every day, where ICANN, is earning 20 cents per domain, there are so many mega millions domains sales takes place, when any extension comes out. And people who had established themselves online, have to suffer and also pay extra costs, by buying the new names extensions to protect their consumers who may end up landing on someone else sites if they dont secure the name with different extension. This extension may be one of those their tricky games, may result in failure, and loss is of our decent domainers. Summing this up, on the other hand, this extension is unique, Dictionary word "asia" , and the potential of getting users online in region is expected to be is greater amount. USERS from asia region are expected to exceed than the numbers of users we have in UNITED STATES, or we can say north america. This may be great investment, buying a 13 dollar domain, may buy you your dreams comes true. Good luck to all the great investors, and myself, who had invested several thousand, in this extension, this is my second extension I believe to be next big thing, after .com. Good luck.

yeah nice post. I'm already started generating few buck on .asia sites I quickly setup. I have few more that I have to focus on target niche more specific. it's good for targeting asian market. I think that it really doesn't matter whethere it's .com .net .eu etc. as long as the SEO is good it will pick up. extention itself helps as part of seo (I think) this is good benefit for people targeting asian market.
Oh great. I myself going to develop some sites, what are your sites, why don't share with us, would love to see.
Sukhjinder! i must say that you are very true, .Asia domains are very soon gonna rock! i hope many .Asia domains very soon will appear as leading websites around world. We have Chine,India,Pakistan as major countries from Asia... so there is huge potential to grow. So, .Asia TLD would gain very much importance in coming 2-3 years for sure.
well i m newbie 1st yr in college n invested in 6 .asia domains coz sum1 in orkut told me it hav a gr8 potential n will b developing sites on them aftr my xams hope dey return me sum part of my investment n sikhrule can u tell me will i hav ny trademark problem in dese two iskcon.asia n aircel.asia
Hi there, here below is the link that may provide you all the details, regarding iskcon, well, I try myself stay away from troubles, why not fetch some good .asia domains rather than starting with trademark issues. Regards.
sikhrule, ones that are start generating few bucks are all torrent related. one search engine, another toplist (that need to develop bit more) and doing one board, and just created link directory in japanese.
That's a very very very long post so I just read a bit of it. Personally, I will pass on wasting any money on this extention, but that's just me. It's a useless extention like .eu that isn't needed. Asian countries have their own ccTLDs. Just have a look at how successful the .eu extention has been.
I dont know, it may be hit, it may be a flot, its just been two weeks I bought my domains, so far, I have made about 30 dollars by just parking my domains, i have the reports most of those domains are getting about 2 or 3 hits each day. and about one click,most are l-l.asia and some one great keywords, i think i wont lost money even if It doesnt do well, which i believe it will not do that bad that you thinkj.
