what if id get a .jp or a .co.jp domain and have one of our sites translated and put there or a redirect with a jp info page.

ccbill processes jcb so they can signup, i know cause we get jp signups but not more then like 5 a month and when i reply and ask something they dont reply

so :

- can jp people just go to an adult site and signup ? i know censorship is huge there, are EU or US sites blacklisted ?
- can i just babelvista or does that deliver jp crap translations
- any of you guys did this and got some nice $$$ ?

last : where do i get the jp best, ive seen prices from 50-250, can i just get a jp domain and put adult content on it ?

thanks!
- Not sure if the .jp domain really helps. If the page is in Japanese, it should get crawled by Japanese search engines.
- I don't think Japanese government or ISPs block any sites, so Japanese people can just sign up. But having Japanese language is important, because they won't feel comfortable giving out credit card number if site is only in English.
- Machine translations are horrible. Try to babel a Japanese page to English, and see if you can understand the English. It's only good for looking up a word or phrase, but not to translate lots of text.
- I believe only Japanese companies can register a .co.jp domain and they have to show proper documentation, not like the .com free-for-all. Not sure about other .jp domains.
