Domain Investing Stats and Tips

A simple tip to find potential Chinese buyers

June 14, 2016 by Kassey Lee

A domain investor recently sent me a list of Pinyin .com names and asked me to find buyers for him. Unfortunately, I’m not a broker so I can’t help much in this case. However, here’s a simple tip that you can try and find potential buyers. I’ll use YFW.com which I talked about in yesterday’s blog post as an example. Say you own this domain name. This is how to do it.

1. Enter YFW into Baidu.com search.

2. Ignore all Chinese texts if you can’t read them. Instead, focus on the URL part and find domain names related to YFW. In my exercise, I found the following domain names after browsing 3 pages of the result:

hnlYFW.com
hltYFW.com
YFWgg.com
xpYFW.cc
YFW.hk
YFW.com.cn

I’ll also add YFW.cn

3. Then, use Whois.com/whois to find the email addresses of the domain names. In my example, I checked and found that the service covers .hk, .cc, and .cn as well.

4. For .cn, you can also use the following URL to check their Chinese Whois records.

Example: whois.ename.net/yfw.cn

Then look for the line starting with: 注册者联系人电子邮件. This line contains the email of the registrant. I hope this information is useful to you. If you have any question or comment, please use the link in my newsletter to write me.

    In your last newsletter, Kassey, you’ve stated: “Lastly, will the voice input trend eliminate acronym domain names? I doubt it, because we’ll still be using word of mouth in writing for a long long time, and short names are good for word of mouth.”

    As the “Voice As Computing” interface further develops, some apps will probably be created that will reduce the work our fingers do on the keyboard…

      That’s true. But domain names will still be printed on product labels, in magazines, and many other print media. A short time is still easier to remember.

    The best way to find a way potential Chinese buyers? You can try to contact some Chinese registrar or reseller, usually they have some brokers who can help them clients to buy or sell domains woldwide.

      You may be right. Whois may not be the best way to find buyers. That’s why I avoid using the word “best” but only said “a simple tip” that investors can try without having to pay. For a premium domain name, a good broker may be the way to go. Thanks for your suggestions.
