Here's the The Lowdown from DN Journal,
updated daily
to fill you in on the latest buzz going around the domain name industry. 

The Lowdown is compiled by DN Journal Editor & Publisher Ron Jackson.

China 101: New eBook From James Iles is a Solid Guide to Domain Investing in China  

China made domain investors sit up and take notice last year when buyers there ignited an astonishing market boom by snapping up everything that wasn't nailed down in categories they favored - especially short .com domains consisting of 2-4 letters or numbers. Most people on this side of the Pacific didn't know much about selling to Chinese buyers but they 

were eager to learn with hopes of cashing in on the rally before it ran out of steam.

The dizzying pace of buying and selling that drove prices into nosebleed territory did prove to be unsustainable and this year prices have fallen back to lower levels though still, for the most part, they are  higher than they were before the explosion. It has become pretty obvious that China is going to remain a key player in the domain business for many years to come so  researching and gaining an understanding of that market will be time and money well spent. 

A great place to start would be a new ebook, China 101: A Guide to Domain Name Investing in China, that has just been released by domain investor, freelance writer and Chinese market aficionado James Illes. The well researched, comprehensive 85-page compendium will quickly get you up to speed and the $27 price tag won't break the bank.

China 101 Author James Iles

Many of you are already familiar with James from the extensive writing and reporting he has been doing over the past couple of years for the NamePros Blog. He has done consistently good work there and broken a number of big stories so the quality of his new book comes as no surprise.

James called on a number of China market experts, including George Hong, Kassey Lee, John Xu, Daniel Chen, Michael Sumner, Gisuseppe Graziano and James Booth to get the latest information on the kinds of domains that Chinese buyers want (yes, they like short .coms - but the specific characters in the names and the patterns they follow can have a dramatic impact on value), how you can acquire domains with high resale value, how much you can expect to sell them for, the future of Chinese domaining and many other topics. 

You will find a complete listing of the book's contents here, as well as a link to order a copy if you like what you see.
