Default English .tw domains

Does anyone have experience with English .tw domains. Lots of great one-word .tw's that seem like a great catch but also makes me think that maybe this TLD is useful with Chinese domain names.

Thanks in advance to anyone with experience with this!

Default Re: English .tw domains

I actually have owned Poker.tw in the past (but unfortunately was not the one to sell it for 30K). Traffic is virtually zero. It's currently parked at Sedo and they say it had 7 hits in the last month, which may have been a few people looking it up as they came across this thread.

So you can imagine, in a country where gambling is so popular, if even Poker.tw gets no traffic then there is little hope for other generics. Maybe there is a reason they are still available

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

Hennie - I agree - I'm always skeptical when it seems that all the great domain names are available...usually means they aren't great domains names!

Thumbs down Re: English .tw domains

I have premium keywords in both ascci & idn and traffic in general is about zero.

Sold a few but not really good prices. Taiwan based domainers have said there is little interest from locals.

The one that does get traffic and makes a few dollars is Porn.com.tw - shows where Taiwanese interest lies.

I have a few .tw but no traffic to speak off

not yet. . I have domainer friends who are not in good shape in selling .tw. But the potential is obviously there.
