Bilingual Domain Names

With the amount of publicity given to the growth of the Hispanic culture, it’s not a surprise to see Spanish words pop up in unexpected places.

DomainTools.com is now populating suggested domain names with Spanish words. For example, when I searched for domain names with the word “teleseminar” in it, here’s the list I got:

• MioSeminar      
• GetBigSeminar      
• IperSeminar      
• LogHomeSeminar      
• NuovoSeminar      
• BigSeminarWomen      
• PianetaSeminar      
• BigHeartSeminar      
• VirtualeSeminar      
• HomeStudioSeminar      
• SuperioreSeminar      
• FreeBuyerSeminar      
• EccellenteSeminar      
• BigSeminarCourse      
• TeleSeminarMondo      
• OrlandoBigSeminar      
• TeleSeminarTerra      
• BigSeminarTapes      
• TeleSeminarDiretto

Should we be purchasing foreign language domains? If you want to “own” a niche, I think you should definitely consider it. It’s early in the game, but once the dotcom you want is gone, it’s gone.

Here’s a dollar-saving tip: From now till the end of 2006, Dotster has domains on sale 2-for-1 (the second domain costs $1). Plus you can add privacy to any domain for just a dollar. It’s a good bargain here at the end of the year. (Click on the Dollar Days ad for details.)
