I have recently picked up some new domains that I believe have some potential. Although they are not all .com's most of them are highly searched keywords or phrases. I am going to list them in this blog and you can let me know what you think. I am not looking for criticism saying things like, "those will never sell, blah, blah, blah..." believe me, I have already though about that. It was a risky speculation on my part. I know that .com is still King and agree with Rick Schwartz on that matter. I just know that there is some value in ccTLD's sometimes as well if they have a nice enough exact search rank and meet the need of an end user or investor in a specific country. You can see this as a truth by navigating the sales on DNJournal. Although I haven't seen any big .asia sales ever reported on the DNJournal or on any other website for that matter, I took a speculative risk on some of these buys, and I can't guarantee a profit for anyone on buying keyword .asia names, but there is always a possibility. Especially since Asia has been for many years, and is becoming an even bigger place of international business in the world, and also covers a lot of different countries. So here are the keyword .asia domains and other ccTLD's I have purchased throughout 2012.
