אור.com Light

[burnsinternet]

Domain: אור.com
Punycode: xn--4dbk1d.com
Translation: Light
Language: Hebrew
US OVT: 36 (was much higher in January)
Google: about 4,130,000 Hebrew pages for אור

This was one of my first Hebrew regs back in January. It just seemed like a cool domain name, and it does OK parked. 16,500 interesting Google images.

I don't know anything about Hebrew domain marketability. Teleconomy estimates that there are 3.7 M Israelis online (Jan., 2003). They estimate another 0.1 M Americans who access the Internet in Hebrew. That makes a total of 3.8 M Hebrew-speakers online worldwide. Not huge, but not bad.

Any thoughts?

Don't underestimage Israel. It is a hot market. All you have to do is sell one product on your site to make back the $6.99. Not bad for ROI is it? .

Sure it may take a year or two but its definitely worth the wait.

Anyone have any ideas of the types of products this site might offer? I doubt that lightbulbs are a big internet seller. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't tell http://bulbs.com/ that. I always order lightbulbs and lighting fixtures for my real estate properties over the internet. Many specific kinds of bulbs aren't available in stores, or are more expensive. It is more handy to have them delivered in one package. Many reasons to order online.

Besides bulbs, there are lighting consultants, lighting fixture installers, commercial and outdoor lighting, automobile lights, theatrical lighting, traffic lights, and street lighting.

Very versatile name! Just look at the first few pages of Google results to see all the websites that use אור in their name. Besides lighting, which is a huge industry, אור also tends to stand for "hope".

Great name.
