   Alejandro,

   Congratulations on the new blog. Remember that the only drawback is that with default alejandrosuarez.es going to geographically restricted to Spain. This would make it more difficult the appearance of your blog here in the USA or other Spanish-speaking regions, as this is one of the advantages and disadvantages it offers a country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) like. Com.

   Just checked and saw that GoDaddy.com alejandro-suarez.com available. Why not buy it and do a 301 redirect to this domain again?

   Here is some information on domains that best explains this point http://www.spanishseo.org/geo-target-with-google-webmaster-tools/

   Greetings from Denver, Colorado

   @ Ara my Spanish SEO has certainly been a pity. Com and not thought to use the script in a domain-type alejandro suarez.com .... the truth is that registration as an alternative http://www.asuarez.com with the idea not only to avoid the subject of. but is offering a second alternative access servers in the U.S. and not in Spain. I think about it ... especially for fear of duplication of content and comment on http://www.spanishseo.org/geo-target-with-google-webmaster-tools/

   I was reading through here that ICANN, the entity that manages Internet addresses, has just approved a measure that eases the creation of the same: there is no need to use the popular '. Com', '. Net, o' . org ', but such extensions can be replaced by the name, brand or combination of letters you want a person or company.

   This measure was adopted precisely to where it is becoming increasingly difficult to find Internet addresses available, especially for companies who see their names are already registered by another person or entity in the world. Thus, it would be possible to create an address http://www.alejandrosuarez instead of http://www.alejandrosuarez.com or http://www.alejandrosuarez.es

   Technically, ICANN has said it will be possible to use any combination of letters for the extension of the final direction.

   However, it was learned that the service will not be cheap. There is speculation that an Internet address with their own name in the end could cost about $ 5000.

   "It also creates a special committee to evaluate each case to confirm the commercial documents that support a company or person the right to have a custom domain extension in its Internet address," explained spokesman for ICANN to the Spanish daily El world, to prevent theft of trademark.

   And in the new action, ICANN approved the creation of Internet addresses ideograms of some Asian and Arabic alphabets, with the aim of supporting more than 1,500 million Internet users who do not use the Roman alphabet.

   I hope we can envision a new way to manage these domains, although the cost is too high.

   Greetings, well the blog.

   Julian,

   There are 3 categories / groups that ICANN has approved the preliminary and final plan will be adopted at the end of 2009.

   These changes have been working since 6 years ago and have been given with the aim of increasing the base of domains and allow the incorporation of more languages, and specific geographic branding guidelines, not because there are no available domains.

   Currently the vast majority of domains using 37 characters of ASCII code, which allows the inclusion of the characters AZ, 1-9 and the hyphen. International domains are those that allow the inclusion of other non-Roman characters (Latinos) as Chinese, Arabic and Cyrillic. So far this has been going on in the second and third level domain, and ICANN since 2007 has been testing the inclusion of these characters on the upper level (after the point at right.) This is why in May this year (2008) have added 2 more languages andalusia kivi test for evaluating IDNS (International Domain Names), which are Thai and Urdu.

   The CEO of ICANN, in a recent interview with BBC said that the cost of domains will be above the hundred thousand dollars, and BBC News reported in that article that is in the "low six figures." The links can be found in an entry I wrote in English and now I'm translating. I would be interested to know the source indicating that the 5 mil. Speculation among domainers is that it will cost between 150 to 200 thousand dollars.

   Hence you have to add that the person or organization must have the necessary competencies to manage the domain properly.

   Most likely these changes will make the prices of generic top level domains (TLDs) such as. Com,. Net,. Org will increase even further given the recognition that there trillonaria investment in these domains has been the course of more than 40 years of existence of the Internet.

   On the other hand we must consider IDNS will grow deeper in regions where the alphabet used is not the Roman.

   Alejandro,

   There are several ways you can avoid duplicate content. One is redirecting with 301's, writing the same information in different languages, using meta tags nofollow / noindex and blocking the User Agents (Googlebot, Slurp - Yahoo!, Etc.) via robots.txt.

   Greetings,

   Augusto
