I’m going to create a bunch of new Japanese IDN sites soon. Sorry I can’t document every step of the way. For those of you that find that post & can look at it later after seeing those sites I can already tell you some things.

1. I am not looking for automatic solutions. I the first site I know it will look like it’s conveniently automatically created but there’s also plenty of manual work that has to go in. Like truly it might take me one full day at least to complete one.

2. For every solution I find I probably bought 3 solutions that didn’t work for me but look the same. So please test things yourself. You might find use in things I don’t. I also don’t always come to a conclusion that it “just doesn’t work”. Moreso I like to look at what is better for what I want to make exactly.

3. My Goal might not be your goal. I work at an Ad Agency not all my sites are to just make money. Some of them are test something else, or a different goal. A few of them have purposes people haven’t picked u yet.

4. Look outside domaining. This can’t be stressed enough. You have 17 year olds now selling scripts that are total multilingual solutions. You won’t find them in the domaining world.

5. Limit your time in domaining & increase your time developing. Reading my blog sometimes is ok but spend most of your time looking for development solutions. Hate to say this but other domainers & domain forums do not help you with this. I haven’t logged into forums to see development side but I also haven’t ran into many Japanese IDN sites compared to what can be made. Go to marketing forums, development forums, blogs sites etc. This will help you offset the amounts parking won’t.

6. Know where your traffic is coming from. Use analytics. This is so important. Traffic isn’t magic. People don’t magically appear to your site.

I’m considering using private posts to write more things I don’t want to be public. Not a paid subscription thing just somethings (techniques, recommendations) I don’t want to be public & indexed.

Anyway have a great week…
