Korean Appraisal Please

[domainstosell]

Help on the following two domains is appreciated (confirmation of translation, thoughts on value, etc.):


휘발유.info (xn--ih3bm5rm0m.info) - Gasoline


휘발유가격.com (xn--o39aomv69akwk7nt.com) - Gasoline Prices


Thanks!

Any thoughts on these?

I would say the translation is correct but I'm not completely sure. My thoughts are that the Korean market is not that worth so I would drop them (plus .info idns are very low value).

Best regards,

Ivan

Welcome to IDNC Ivan,
What are those thoughts based on?

Hello,

First of all, thanks for your welcome .

Well, I base my oppinion on this basically on googletrends (I know it's not the best way to check it for the asian keys though). Trends shows no search volume for this keywords.

Due the speculating nature of IDNs (we don't know what's gonna happen with them and how are going to be accepted by main local SE, plus how will google react to these names in a near future) I would drop a name, even with a main keyword like this one, for a not-premium country (in terms of business I mean, Korea has 50 million citizens if I'm not wrong) if it has no trends, specially if it's .INFO.

In the other hand, google trends reveal a good amount of news for this term (which is quite official one) so it almost guarantees its good translation and it algo reveals an interest for this term. It makes me think that the difference between the news volume and the searches volume is not equal just because Koreans don't use google (but google reaches korean pages), but anyway google is only the current SE giving some relevance to IDNs.

IDNs are basically speculating stuff and everyone can have his limits. Probably I would keep the dot com but definitely drop the dot info. If we were talking about another language, like chinese with all its potential, probably I would keep it. But not in Korean.

Obviously I talk as big-portfolier, one domain doesn't hurt, but you can't register all marginal domain names you find if you don't plan to develop them (and you don't have time to develop them specially if you don't know even if the name is correct ) because there are a lot and it probably will cost you money in the long run.

These are just my thoughts, any other views?

Regards,

Ivan

Lol, sorry, you asked about the value of the Korean market and I answer all this stupid stuff

Well, these are just my thoughts, it seems that there are better countries to invest at. China has a colossal population while korea having 50 m. So, in comparison, I would drop Korea to the bottom on my list if had to try (as with Greece, Hungarian, etc). A premium name, ok, but dot com or the local extension, not dot info.

But, as I said, these are just my thoughts (I may be very conservative in this regard ).

Cheers !

Ivan
