Here’s an advice guys. Before you purchase a new domain name and start investing all your time developing a new site, make sure your domain name is not similar to any registered trademark or service mark. You can search here: http://www.uspto.gov/main/trademarks.htm
For example, you want to buy this domain name: SuperDuperService.com
Do not buy it right away, spend some time on the website I mentioned above. Make sure there is no trademark similar to the domain name. If somebody has already registered SuperDuper trademark or service mark, you can get in trouble.

I’m actually really into the IDN rush as well, it’s like a mini gold rush to get in on some of those names already…

I guess this area of domain investing is pretty much an interesting approach for investing. I myself am part of the IDN rush, where the future may be one of which native citizens can type in their domain names in their own language.

Yeah, that can be nothing more then submitting the site to google for indexing though. You don’t necessarily have to even have a site to link it from. Most of the time a parked page has something up on it anyway, usually from the domain registrar, so it really doesn’t take much to get Google to know you are there…

Even if your own personal effort with the site is practically zero.

The sandbox clock actually starts from when Google finds the site, not from when it’s registered. To get it ticking, you just need to put up one decent link to the domain so that Google starts crawling.
