Add me to your count , 98% of my folio consists of Indian domain names. (Close to 350 ATM)

Yes i believe .IN will have a big impact in the next few years. Few things to note:

1..IN will not get any less competitive from here going forward.
2. India's internet population will at least triple in 5 years. How can we imagine there won't be an uptick in demand for domain names?.IN will get its fair slice because everyone is nationalistic.
3.If you don't own the right types of names that will be in demand in the near future, you probably should worry if you intend on holding those names for several years because they are way less likely to find a home with an end user.
4.The longer you wait, the better the $$$$.Watch the price you sell your premium .in names because in a few years, you will no doubt have regrets if you're selling today for too low a price.
5.Traffic and PPC will increase,but PPC might be slower and not as big.
I am trying to hold my .ins for at least 3 years. 67% of my domain portfolio consists of .IN domains and i consider .in the domain penny stock ...sort of.I am attracted to the Cheap prices, a bearish market, and good potential for high ROI on sales.

Such as a big country like India, personally I hope .IN & .co.in will do well in the next few years . There are some great sale recently which is really good I think.

Indian peoples adpot technology very fast , Two examples : 1. Cable television reached almost every house and 2. when mobile phones was launched on 15th August, 2005 , media and others never thought of this kind of growth for mobile phones. Today when we go to remote villages, we can see that even the shepherd uses mobile and transfers the songs on bluetooth, that is the way Indians adopt technology.

As a registrar we see lot of peoples are registering and using domain names (particularly .IN) even in very small villages so we thought future is very bright but it will still take approx three to four years.

According to us growth of domain names in India is mainly depend on two factors :

1. Reach of low cost internet connections to more and more peoples and houses. Like cable tv.

2. Young generation particularly who are student of middle schools will come to colleges in few years and then you will see a great change in internet space as this generation is fully computer educated.

So within next four to five years you will see amazing growth.

I hold approx 100 .in since 2005, would u consider me a serious domainer? though i didnt hold any .coms other then my own developed websites.

100 is a decent number. if you believe in domains and investing in the same then you are a domain investor.

I think there is nothing like Serious / Non Serious, who ever is putting money and time in domain investment in the belief of getting good returns better than the traditional business is a domain investor.

second point , the number doesnt matter . the quality matters. for example the guy who bought insurance.com 20 years before might be far superior investor than the guy who bought 1000 non business domains at the same time. there are many other factors too we need to consider ...

alina,

might be you are a passive domainer

cheers

Well I regged them all for a theme in mind, and not for investment, i guess its being a passive domainer, though the only sales i made was a crap lll.in for $250 2 years ago.
