should I register this domain?

I found an arabic domain where the .com is taken, but .net is available. Overture gives around 4200. Should I register it?

Edit: I will actually register it once I get some cash!

Thanks,
GSA

Re: should I register this domain?

if it is .com I won't hesitate a second

but take care with OVT .... it may be a surge in OVT

you know the language and you can guess if this overture will remain or not

Re: should I register this domain?

I wonder how sure we are that the .com notoriety has spread beyond say dubai -
the most 'western leaning' arab state.I'm asking this becos I've noticed that some of the real estate sites for eg thepalm.ae have used the arab emirates extension.This could just be a governmental decision to push forward the .ae?Any opinions on the
kudos of .com in Bahrain or Iran etc?

of course not , this is big OVT

I would get the .com at once whether it is crappy or meaningless or anything at this OVT

but to get the .net the name has to be generic or has a good meaning

for example

5910 لخخلمث this word gets around 6000 OVT , it is meaningless
the .net is available by the way but I registered some names .net with OVT less than 100 and left that one

that's why I was cautious while replying

Re: should I register this domain?

it's a .net. But it's a generic name. So what do you think now?
