Here are some observations.
- China accounts for 42% of the top 50 sites, confirming China as a very important market for domain investors.
- The best extension in China is .com (12 sites), followed by .cn (5). .tv (2), .net (1), and .hk (1).
- 2-pin names are very popular. 8 of the 21 Chinese domains use 2-pin names.
- Short is good. Most of the Chinese domains are less than 6 characters excluding the extension.
I don’t trust any China websites.
Do you trust putting your personal info on their sites??esp your credit card..
I use Afternic’s fast transfer option to sell to the whole world including China. Money automatically comes into my bank account. I have had Chinese buyers but no credit card or personal information is required.
Afternic is owned by GODaddy and it is Made in USA!!
You can buy Chinese traffic for a tiny fraction of other countries too.
