and maybe some markets are not so good for PPC, or not as good as the US, but that doesnt mean that they do not have bussines that are making hefty profits (sell a condo in mexico, or a car in russia by the internet and you are still going to make big bucks)

besides, all “developed” countries have reached their percentage penetration rate of internet users among the general population, so they wont be growing much biger, but try latin america, their numbers are soring year after year, and they still have pleanty of room to grow in the years to come.

just my two cents….

I’m sure you’ve heard all the arguments for and against IDNs and their potential. While it’s true that some of my IDN traffic doesn’t even earn a penny a click from some foreign countries, and while it’s also true that the economic model and infrastructure for internet marketing is immature in most countries — we are seeing a very strong interest in copying and even ‘improving’ the American model for making money on the internet, in countries across the globe. American models, such as ebay, amazon, paypal, game sites, poker sites, social networking are being improved daily in most countries. China has a huge internet population, and with sites like and the amount of chinese content on the internet is stunning. The same is true for Russia, Korea and Japan. Thailand and Vietnam are also increasing content on the web by leaps and bounds. Arabic has huge potential, as it is spread across many countries. I have been on the internet since it’s inception, and have seen the content grow in non-english languages at a rate that is surpassing English.
The English market is fairly saturated at this point in time.
If you have a good model for making money on English Websites, you can probably also shift this model to other languages. It’s really up to you to see this possibility. Some are totally pro IDNers and some think it is too much of a hassle. Basically we all favor what we have invested in, but that’s not the point. The point is, what direction is the internet really headed in. With a little foresight I think we can see what’s coming around the corner. I hope you would reconsider selling IDNs with your service, as they will have an increasing value in the future.

1) stop using different aliases, stick to one please

2) i would not recommend to anybody to invest even a dime in idn’s at this point, so no idn names will be featured on DomainStryker.com lists … and i do not have to bullshit anybody in order to make a buck, it’s not part of the “marketing plan”

3) use your real name next time or you get banned for good

thanks !

You just dissed the entire IDN community and any potential clients in this field. Good work!

Poor investment. He would have been better off with IDNs.

U.S. is being flushed down the toilet…
Japan is the second largest economy and watch out for the behemoth, China…
