Buy Viagra Study

Earl was the first to post on Syndk8.net’s Viagra Study blog regarding “buy viagra” in a language other than English. He wrote about “comprar viagra”, the Spanish translation of “buy viagra” due to the large world population that speaks Spanish:

“With a large amount of the worlds population speaking Spanish and more importantly a large amount of internet users fluent in Spanish there is many opportunity’s for exploitation.” - earl grey

Earl went on to write: “When i search for Comprar Viagra i see 789,000 results in Google but there is 2,900,000 for Buy Viagra” showing how small the “comprar viagra” niche actually is compared to “buy viagra“.

Spanish is definitely a widely spoken language, but I thought we should take a look at a few other foreign language searches with Google:

• Italian Acquistare Viagra: about 92,200 for Acquistare Viagra
• French Acheter Viagra: about 189,000 for Acheter Viagra
• German Viagra kaufen: about 93,700 for Viagra kaufen
• Dutch Koop Viagra: about 203,000 for Koop Viagra

That shows us the pages returned by Google, but how do we estimate the viagra market; how many people speak each language?

“The Summer Institute for Linguistics (SIL) Ethnologue Survey (1999) lists the following as the top languages by population: (number of native speakers in parentheses)” - ignatius.edu

1. Chinese* (937,132,000)
2. Spanish (332,000,000)
3. English (322,000,000)
4. Bengali (189,000,000)
5. Hindi/Urdu (182,000,000)
6. Arabic* (174,950,000)
7. Portuguese (170,000,000)
8. Russian (170,000,000)
9. Japanese (125,000,000)
10. German (98,000,000)
11. French* (79,572,000)

A little research into the number of internet users in each of those countries should give you some good foreign language niches.

Good Luck!
