Let me give you an Example Lets say you have XYZ.com is SpanishXYZ.com worth 1/5 the amount of the english counterparts?
Example
Travel.com - My guess is probably worth Millions
Viajes.com - Sold for $300,000 (Same Name Stupid)
Flights.com - My Guess maybe a Million
Vuelos.com - Sold for $150,000(Same Name Dummie)
BTW Both domains bought by one company.
Can I get some thoughts about this....

Yes, spanish names are worth a lot. Any key word domain in any language is going to be worth big money. There is a rush on .ES domains (Spain), and that's just going to help with Spanish domains. French domains having been selling high and so have German domains. Obviously, the bigger the country/people that speak that language, the more the domain is going to be worth.

I live in South Cal Spanish names are worth a lot, but if you are doing an english and spanish version, why not double your fun?
Spain isn't the only spanish country. Spain is "spanish", but you have Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Mexico, etc. If you could get them and add a spanish name to it, it would be worth something.

Spanish names are still good, but when it comes to spanish and english domains, I say spanish domains are coming close.
We have a lot of spanish people in our town. :) There are a lot of spanish people all over the USA. Some of them are illegal though. :(

People are saying everyone will become a minority to these Spanish people. I don't think so. Most of the are illegal, and America is not letting many in right now. That would be weird being a minority though. :(

I can play both. Like Fundemental Basketball better though. Street ball is playground ball, no rules.
As for the white people = minority post. I don't think so, if they do they would all have to be legal. America is a big country and we're already holding out a lot of illegal immigrants.

Even so there are so many more white people in the USA overall. I think I saw a pie chart. USA is more than half white.

Yeah, I'm sure it is right now. But if we follow the trend, we aren't going to be the majority forever.

Exactly American Indians were here first. It was there land and we kicked them out. That's not right but what else could we have done? We weren't even that strong back then. Hardly a super power.

That's the problem. We will never be a minority because we still have a lot of us now. We can just boot them out. :)

Maybe not. But there illegal so it has to be fairly easy. It's hard finding out who they are but I don't see a big problem if they find out they're illegal. They can kick em out if they know.

Oh, the illegal ones. Well, that'd be a little easier... but still, finding them ALL is impossible.
If you're here for a certain amount of time, don't you get to become legal somehow? Or if you marry a legal citizen you must pay a certain fee?

AMERICA was built on immigrants. I'm sure your father's father was an immigrant from europe. Don't hate people just for trying to make a better lives for themslefs.

Excuse me. I wasn't hating on anyone. I was just saying us Americans pay taxes and the illegal aliens don't. I realize our country was build on immigrants, but that has long changed. People that are born here are Americans.

attention sociology class:
we didn't kick them out, we bulldozed them into a corner. It's the Spaniards we bulldozed south and kicked out, helped by Mexican war.
But BACK on topic:
I am not sure what role web sites play right now in enhancing Spanish traditionalism and what value a spanish website might have relative to an english site or valued on on its own.
Well spanish domains would be worth similar amounts to english domains if they used a spanish extension. They wouldn't be as valuable if it was a spanish word using a .com, .net, etc though.

I live In Los Angeles California. we have a few Hispanic-Americans here and there...
I think Florida probably has the most Hispanics in the USA. Either that or Texas. I thought Los Angeles would have a lot since it's a huge state.

I just know because I've heard. Texas is by Mexico therefore they probably have a lot of Mexicans and Florida is by Cuba so they must have a lot of Cubans. As a matter of fact they do have a lot Cubans because Miami is filled with them.

"They wouldn't think to highly of you though"

So what if he employs them? Is there a problem with that? They work very good and they enjoy it. They are nice people and I get along with them. What is the matter with Mexicans working?

JJ stop proving my point.
If you READ the above post i am saying because you know a few doesn't mean you are steeped in the culture and politics and merging nationalism of mexican Amercians as say texas or especially Los Angeles.
I am so surprised you landscaper uncle didn't tell you so.
JJ stop behaving like the moron I think you are. If you want to prove it to others you're proving my point.

how can you relate to an "amount" of people? We were discussing the premise of spanish domain names in the americanised culture and North Amercian business world and their relative value and domain potential with respect to their community values and internet usage to reinforce same.
Living in Los Angeles is living with these classes of people. You'd have to READ to know that though.

Are you taking medication? Do you have attention deficit disorder? it would make so much sense.
You said you knew about the conditions of the culture we were discussing because you had a relative. What does your uncle have to say about mexican American culture and the online community and their Internet consumption and spending patterns?
I ask because you wrote that was the backup for your earlier statements. and evidently I am still having to ask what basis that could possibly have for the statements you made.
