.ASIA domain

.ASIA domain extension has been designed to meet the needs of the thriving Asian Internet community for companies, brands, and marketers. The new top level domain adds a strong sense of affiliation to corporate brands and online identities and communicates a commitment to Asia. Today, the word 'Asia' is widely used in numerous brands and company names. A Google search returned about 1.5 million results for the term "Asia Ltd.". The monster.com website listed about 300 names that started with the term 'Asia' on its online company database for US companies. The amazon.com site listed more than 900 entries when searching "Asia" under the magazine category, and over 200,000 entries in the books. category. The beauty of .Asia lies in the fact that it provides value that goes well beyond a simple domain extension.

India Inc makes a beeline to grab the .asia domain

Before cyber squatters can get hold of prized virtual .asia identities, the real owners want to ensure that they have booked the domain names. Companies are making a beeline to grab the .asia domain being launched on Tuesday. According to sources, Bharti Airtel, Reliance ADAG, ICICI Bank, Kotak Mahindra, T-series and several other companies have already expressed interest in buying .asia domain names. ICICIBank, Maruti, Airtel and others have faced problems in the past with their domain names – Airtel.com, Maruti.com, ICICI-bank.net — which were registered by someone else. Priced at $100, the .asia domain names will carry a registration fee of Rs 1,600 for two years fee. “We expect about 30,000 .asia domains to be registered by February, 2008,” says Ching Chiao, VP Community Relations at DotAsia registry based in Hong Kong

“We have got the permission to launch .asia domain from ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) after six years of deliberations. The .asia community will be beneficial for all companies having Asia wide operations,” he added. ICANN is the apex body that registers, manages and introduces new domains. In India, Net4, an Internet Service Provider for enterprises, along with two other ICANN registrars Directi, GoodLuckDomain will offer the .asia domains from October 9. “In the first phase we will offer the domains to all sovereign rights holders (like government or industry associations). The second phase will be open for companies having registered trademarks. The third phase will be for companies who have applied for trademarks. In the fourth and last phase we will offer a land rush which will close in one day,” Mr Jasjit Sawhney, CEO Net4 said. In a land rush, individuals can buy all unregistered domain names. Domain name squatters have also set sights on .Asia. About 140 million domain names have already been sold on the internet. The average price of a domain name sold today is about $5,000 with some crucial (company) domains being sold for over a million dollars. Indian companies have also faced problems in the past with mischievous squatters posting objectionable pictures on a company’s similar sounding domain name. No wonder the rush now by the genuine owners of virtual identities, to register the .asia domain.

Register Domains in Asia..........Protect your name in Asia

'.Asia' launched as Internet domain .ASIA .Asia

'.Asia' launched as Internet domain .ASIA


Bidding began Tuesday (10 th Oct 2007) for prime new pieces of Internet real estate with the launch of the ".asia" domain name, which aims to become one of the web's most desirable addresses.

The regional domain comes after the launch of the European-based .eu name last year and aims to join .com and .net as a widely used website suffix.

"The .asia domain acts like a channel or a portal, showing your commitment to the Asia market as a whole," said Edmon Chung from DotAsia, a Hong Kong-based group that won the right to set-up the domain.

"It provides an easier way to direct customers to your products.

"Our research has found that 'Asia' is one of the most searched-for terms and by having a .asia website, your ranking on Google or Yahoo will become much higher."

Prices for website addresses can range from as little as 10 dollars to several hundred dollars, depending on their desirability, Chung said.

Businesses with trademarks, governments and official bodies will be allowed to register website addresses ending with the suffix during the initial offer period. The general public will be allowed to bid from February.

Firms and global brands from both inside and outside Asia were likely to be interested, and the suffix would act as a complement to country-specific domains such as .cn for China and .jp for Japan, Chung said.

He expected tourism bodies to be some of the first groups bidding for domain names, especially those with specifically Asian slogans, such as Hong Kong's "Asia's World City" and "Malaysia. Truly Asia."

The initial bidding period will be used to try and prevent disputes between organisations and individuals vying for a specific domain name, Chung said.

If several claims are deemed equally valid, they will eventually be settled by an auction run by the not-for-profit group.

Top-level domains, which include .Asia, country-specific suffixes and around 20 generic names, such as .biz or .org, are regulated by the US-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, with specific addresses sold through registrars.

Internet names for Asia launched
Corporate India plays safe with .asia domain
After .eu, Asia gets its own address in cyberworld



Internet names for Asia launched

The .asia regional internet domain has officially opened for business, with big firms expected to grab addresses.
Governments and companies can now register interest in specific domain names, such as www.namehere.asia.
Companies will be able to register domains for which they own a trademark and governments will get a chance to earmark those on a reserved list.
The general public will get a chance to snap up their own .asia domain when the landrush starts in February 2008.
Wide reach
Work to create the .asia domain began in 2000. The DotAsia Organisation won official approval to set up the domain in mid-October 2006 and the first .asia domains should go live on the internet in March 2008.
Unlike other administrators of net domains, the DotAsia Registry plans to use an auction to determine who gets domains wanted by more than one organisation. The highest bidder will win the right to the contested name.
The geographical reach of the .asia domain extends from Australia to the Middle East. In all, 20 organisations that run country code domains have signed up to back the .asia registry.
The .asia domain is the second regional domain to go live following the European .eu suffix which started selling in April 2006. Other regional domains for Africa and Latin America are expected to follow.
Lesley Cowley, chief executive of .uk registry Nominet, said regional domains could prove to be a good option because many nations imposed stringent conditions on anyone wanting to register and use country code addresses.
Ms Cowley expected many of the initial requests for .asia domains to come from companies that need to defend the trademarks they own in the region.
"There is going to be an ever-increasing number of suffixes," she said. "Companies need to decide whether they are going to protect their registered marks in each and every one."
Despite the diversity of languages spoken in Asia, all the domains offered initially will be written using the Latin alphabet which is already used in established generic domains such as .com and country codes such as .uk.
Eventually though domains will be offered in character sets used in Asian nations but the DotAsia Organisation has given no hint about when this will begin.
At the same time that the sunrise period for .asia begins, net address overseer Icann (The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is starting trials of a system that will let net addresses be written in local alphabets.
Icann will trial addresses written in Arabic, Persian, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Hebrew, Japanese and Tamil.

A new way of delivering search results will make it easier on searchers, but will it eliminate the need for SEO? A 24/7 Real Media SVP discusses the issue

When you really look at it, search query language is pretty odd. Imagine the conversation in keywords, if you were looking for an apartment. You'd walk up to the man in the first floor apartment and say, "Two-bedroom sublet NYC." The super would answer "http colon slash slash dub-dub-dub dot 2-bedroom sublet NYC arm-and-a-leg dot com."
What if you could deliver search results based not on exactly matching words or phrases, but instead on context and relevance? What if the right site were delivered to the right user, even if he or she misspelled a word, or didn't even pick the right keyword or phrase?
That sure would get us past the monkey-see, monkey-do era of search. You know, press the bar; get the cheese. Pick the right word; get the right page. Most of the time, this kind of search works pretty well, but it's an odd, non-intuitive process for many people. In the future, the monkeys will be gone.
The big brains out there are asking: "Why do we need keywords at all?" If we used what the linguists call "natural language," we'd ask a question in simple (or even complex) terms, and not have to get obsessive about guessing the right code. Search engines would "get it," even though you didn't guess how an SEO genius might have guessed what you would probably type when you were looking for, let's say, preventable childhood diseases.
That's the thinking behind Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). LSI is a statistical method of comparing the relationships between words and passages of text in order to evaluate the quality of the content. It's a way to arrive at context and meaning, without a one-to-one match.
The math behind this is pretty full on. It's rife with matrices of words and context, with high levels of what they call "dimensions": the higher the dimension, the more accurate the simulation of human contextual evaluation.
Outside the search world, LSI is used in educational environments to summarize materials, to select appropriate texts for learners based on varying levels of background knowledge, and even to score the content of essays and other texts.
In the search space, LSI might be applied as an extension to current lexical, semantic or contextual methods, enabling an algorithm to determine that a document is the most relevant match for a key phrase, even if that phrase does not appear in that document at all. It is considered an improvement over the limitations of word-based matching using keyword density and repetition.
Why is LSI considered to be an improvement over word-based methods? Because word-based methods deliver irrelevant along with relevant results, and even relevant results won't be delivered without the right keyword on both the user and web page side of the equation. LSI solves the basic problem of monkey see, monkey don't.
For example, cdc.gov may be THE authority on preventable childhood diseases, and therefore the best result for someone searching for "preventing palio [sic]". With today's lexical index, cdc.org must have a page on its site that anticipates that phrase and spelling mistake. With LSI, cdc.org would simply need to be the authority on pediatric health. The right page would be delivered, regardless of the presence or absence of the phrase on the site.
Recent index/relevance shakeups have suggested that Google might have increased the weighting of LSI in its algorithm. I can't imagine that many of the opportunists who drop the phrase either know what it means or have the tools and skills necessary to optimize for LSI; certainly not the authors of some of the SEO spam email I have been receiving.
In fact, the very point of LSI might be to put an end to the practice of "stealing eyeballs": fooling search engines into delivering nefarious goods to completely unrelated searches. A good example is the phenomenon of parked domains: URLs that don't go to a legitimate website, but to a site advertising domain registration or other unrelated services.
But that brings up a future-shock issue for those of us who've gotten pretty good at figuring out how to make the artificial rules of SEO get better results for clients. Namely, won't LSI put the very idea of search engine optimization out of business?
The good news is that this is a dynamic industry, full of fertile and daily re-invention. In an LSI utopia, the best SEO vendor stops being a keyword jockey, and becomes a content consultant, helping clients to prove that they're authorities on their chosen subjects.
Our company has always been focused on removing blockers to good, relevant content. We think it's a practice that happens to work well under both LSI and lexical algorithms.
Plus, if you're doing it right, you're already focused on a website that proves you're the best in class, so your site is already rewarded with natural search traffic and satisfied users.
Then maybe we can all start using natural language in our search queries instead of monkey talk. Let's face it, finding an apartment or a cure for the collywobbles is hard enough, even when you're both speaking the same language.
