"Faire-Part" in French means: announcement or declaration (of birth, marriage...). Overture: 1,192; 7 million Google results.

I think this sale is encouraging for strong keyword hyphenated domain names. Search engines, end users or developers do not place as much importance on hyphens than domainers do. In fact, they sometimes favour hypens that seperate well (visually) two commercial words that marry well together.

I will now try and sell: Shopping-Center.com (taken in over 100 extensions, Overture: 55,758 - 17 million google results).

Faire-part with the hypen is the correct spelling in French.
I mean the hyphen is part of the word

Yea, that helps out a lot in hyphenated-names

There are not so many good sales of French domains.

It is a bit strange sale.

Here in Greece we find the hyphen a physical way to separate two words in a domain
