China Business Opportunity

So this time, we are going to reveal the million dollar secret, which of the 3 systems should we go for? And how do we find appropriate keywords so we can make a profit?

So let's look at which one is the most popular right now. At this moment, most internet users in China are the more educated ones and therefore has at least some knowledge in English. Because .com.cn was introduced so much earlier than the other 2 methods, it is still the most widely used and accepted type of domain.

As for the future potential, it seems like more and more people are leaning towards to Chinese Domain compare with 3721, although 3721 is owned by yahoo and currently has a larger market share; Chinese Domain had only launched for little more than a year and is already gaining some momentum in the country. The other factor why I believe Chinese Domain will surpass 3721 is because its compatability with the current system. They still use a .something, although that something is in Chinese. Therefore, it opens up a window of opportunities that in the future, it can be used interchangeably with the .coms. However, in a forseeable future, .com.cn is still the way to go.

Many of the good keywords .com.cn domain names are already being snatched up; however it is not nearly to the extent of .com. As for Chinese Domain, there are still a lot of major keywords left unregistered.

So how do you find these keywords? (especially for you who do not speak Chinese)

This is how you find keywords. You already know what .com sold for a high value, so what you want to do is to find the chinese translation of it. For .com.cn, you want to look for the word's "pinyin"(the english way of putting Chinese) and for chinese domain, you want to just type in the Chinese Word. If possible, have a Chinese to double check your selection, as the results from the dictionary might be in the form of which very few people speak.

Where do I register for these domain?

Here's where you find it. Search for "domain registration" in www.baidu.com, it is the most widely used search engine in China and the 1st couple results should contain what you are looking for. For 3721's domain, you can go directly to www.3721.com.
