I’m certain all the recent hype surrounding .ASIA has hit you too. The question that first popped in my head, and probably yours too is – Is there actually as much potential in this new sponsored TLD? I’ll let the stats that I dug up do all the talking.

The Asian continent has an estimate of over half a billion Internet users, compared to 350 million in Europe and only 240 million in all of North America. Internet traffic from Asia has also outpaced all other markets. The stats suggest that, more visitors originate from Asia (38%) than from Europe (26%) or North America (18%). *

With over 60% of the world’s population and an Internet usage growth of over 350%, Asia is a region that is experiencing tremendous economic and technical growth. The .ASIA top-level domain provides value that complements local country-code domains and other generic domains. Drawing up an excellent analogy from the media industry, some of the most powerful global media channels, like CNN and BBC to name a few, have created regional channels focused exclusively towards catering only to the Asian audience. Each has its space and value. “.ASIA” endeavors to serve this niche regional audience and market. Niche market would however be an understatement considering the statistics mentioned above. Now calculate the colossal number of global and regional enterprises targeting the Asian market, it is clear that the .ASIA value will grow at an exponential pace.

The goal behind introducing .ASIA was to provide an alternative to the ‘.com’ extension for the millions of individuals and businesses in Asia. More than 130 economies and countries around the world participated in the .Asia Sunrise. Seeing the results of the .ASIA Sunrise phase, which concluded with a success rate of over 90% (which is 40% higher than previous Domain Registry launches), I could say they have more than achieved their intended goal. Also, based on registry information, the volume of registrations received during the Sunrise applications was more than double the level for all other gTLD Sunrises except for .INFO.

Now that the Landrush is about to begin (20th Feb), all our Reseller’s can start accepting applications for the available .Asia Domain Names. During the Landrush, anyone around the world can apply for any available .ASIA Domain. The Domains receiving more than one application during the Landrush will be auctioned between the applicants in an equitable process post the Landrush. Popular “keyword” domains, such as names consisting of common terms are expected to generate the most intense bidding.

Targeting an entire region like Asia often tends to be not only difficult, but also expensive due to stringent local presence requirements. So, A unified Asian TLD could potentially be an extremely valuable and cost effective tool for businesses that are looking at reaching the entire region via a single domain registration instead of registering domains in each individual Asian country.

.ASIA is a Domain Extension sponsored by the DotAsia Organization. It is a regional domain for companies, organizations, and individuals based in or having a target audience based in the region of Asia, Australia, and the Pacific.

The ability to accept pre-apps before the Landrush actually begins, coupled with an unbelievably low pricing of $19.5 (fully refundable), will ensure that you leverage on this crazy rush throughout the industry to acquire .ASIA domains.

Having recorded the most successful sunrise phase with a 90% success rate and over 30,000 trademarked domains registered, .ASIA now estimates to be the most profitable investment available in a market where every conceivable domain name has been procured.

With 3 Asian countries ranking amongst the top 5 Countries in terms of Internet Usage, and Asian Internet users growing by almost 350% every year, Asia is surely heading towards being the Mecca of the Internet Industry very soon; placing .ASIA as the most valuable gTLD available today.

.ASIA Landrush process:
The .ASIA Landrush will take place from 20th Feb to 12th March, 2008. The .ASIA registry is following the auction model for domains that will receive more than one application during the Landrush period. So, in case any of your Customers’ Domains get multiple applications, they can claim ownership of the concerned Domain by placing the highest bi for it.

All Domain applications processed through IDigitalNet are guaranteed a reversal on the application charge, in case the outcome of the auction process is not in your customer’s favour. This means, that if your Customer doesn’t end up registering a Domain that he applied for, the entire amount will be refunded to him. This way, your Customers can safely apply for as many Domains as they want, without having to pay for a Domain that they will not end up buying! Since most providers are charging an application fee irrespective of whether the Domain is registered or no, this is definitely something that will make your Customers choose you over any of your competitors.

The four points:

1. Related to Your Core Business or Business Name
2. Memorable
3. Hard to Misspell
4. Short

Hyphens or not?

Technically hyphens are recognized as a separator (or space), so they should be used in instances where search engines may not correctly discriminate your keywords. For example, expertsexchange.com – is that experts-exchange or expert-sex-change? In all other instances hyphens are uneccessary, as search engines will correctly parse out the keywords. Not that that matters though, as Google largely ignores the content of your domain name.

If you are in a situation where you must use hyphens to differentiate keywords correctly (as in the above example), then it is important that you use hyphens, and not underscores. While Yahoo and MSN may correctly interpret underscores as hyphens, the predominant search engine, Google, does not.

Placing Keywords in your Domain Name May Help to Increase Site Traffic

When you work to develop a keyword rich domain name, be creative. Make sure the name is not only relevant, but is one that will be remembered. Start off with a list of the most obvious and valid keywords for your site. Then, focus on the not-so obvious. Also consider the amount of competition each word garners. Last but certainly not least, apply common sense to the equation. Using valid keywords within the domain name will likely garner more clicks to your site. And remember, more clicks often means more sales!
