this was posted by domainshane on his blog about banks.com you can see below he pointed out that banks.com also owns بنوك.com
"In short. Banks.com feels they need to stop relying on Google for revenues and move to a self generation model. Instead of paying for traffic they want to improve SEO (don’t we all) and generate more tax prep revenue. It seems they want utilize Google to generate revenues, they just don’t want to pay to do it. Either way they are relying on Google. One last interesting piece of data includes the value they put on their domains (and other intangibles). They are valued at $9.8 million. I think it’s a pretty fair assessment considering their two best domains, banks.com and irs.com. They also own a few others like easytaxreturns.com and بنوك.com which is banks.com in Arabic. Take those assets away and the balance sheet gets pretty ugly."
