Expired Foreign Domain?

[sooty]

I found an expired european language subject-type domain, that has when typing the name incl. extension in Google, 1000 results, 20 in the past 3 months and over 300 of those in the past 6 months.

I see 2 issues here:

1 - European language - not sure my English Sedo pages would quite get the clicks, although the world over net-surfers speak plenty of English
2 - It's a .org domain, but because it has expired, I'm pretty sure they won't want it back.

With the Google results above and bearing in mind it's non-English, do you think its definately worth getting for the traffic hits alone?

 

[slaughterbeck]

Yes it is. If you only want it for the hits.

 

[RTM]

Absolutely, unless the extremely controversial and/or legally risky. You could also try partnerring up with someone who is fluent in the language...

Please update if you acquire it .

 

[Sedo]

Hello Sooty,

Sedo's parking program offers language targeted and geo-targeted advertisements. Therefore, when advertisements are available, a visitor from a non-English speaking region will see advertisements in their language. This helps generate targeted clicks. Sedo also currently has landing pages in 6 different languages, soon to be 20!

If you have not made your decision yet I hope this helps!
