I have acquired Kebab.com and I would like to tell you that I enjoy having “chicken kebab” at times. I really don’t like “doner kebab” because it is greasy but do enjoy “chicken kebab” which I think is much healthier than the other one.

Kebab” is becoming more and more popular worldwide and in Germany, it is becoming the favorite fast food. Read the article here=> Doner kebab becomes Germany’s favorite fast food . The article states that there are around 15,500 Kebab Shops/Restaurants just in Germany alone. According to that figure, I estimate ther are around 100,000 to 200,000 Kebab shops/Restaurants worldwide or may be even more.

I compared “Kebab” keyword with “Slots” (Slots.com sold for 5.5 million recently) for comparing trends. I understand “slots” keyword may generate more revenue but I compare them for Google trend purposes because many of us are still talking about Slots.com domain sale. If you look at the trends, “Kebab” trend would surpass “slots” in coming years if the trend continue like that. To be honest, due to increasing popularity of “Kebab”, there is no reason not to surpass the keyword trend of “slots” in next 2 or 3 years.kebab trend

I am planning to develop Kebab.com into a Kebab directory where kebab shops/restaurants around the world may list in the Kebab directory. I wonder any of you know any successful “food or restaurant” directories. I appreciate if someone suggests any good business (professional looking) directory script or suitable web developer for such purposes. (not the common PHPLD etc… kind of scripts)

    Forget Germany. Kebabs have been the most popular take-out food for drunk British people for decades.

    Low average CPC (< $0.50), but a very nice name search volume-wise. I see you bought it at SEDO for mid $X,XXX. Instead of developing it, you might make a more lucrative flip if you approach the right owner of a major kebab chain of kebab restaurants with the idea that they could re-brand as Kebab.com and go to town with their chain of restaurants all around the world!
