many Ascii are receiving traffic because people mistype IDNs

for example my IDN افلام.com which has good overture results

people forget to press alt shift when changing language from english to arabic

then it will be written "htghl"

overture results as follows
233 htghl
34 htghl s s

so I suggest that Asciiers should get the original IDN names not the typos :popcorn: .... hehe
 
Not sure about Arabic, but in Russian it has been a deliberate strategy to register an ASCII with same keystrokes as the cyrillic branding. Unfortunately, generally this seems to have worked so well that many have not felt the need to register the corresponding IDN. Tears at bedtime, I am afraid.
 
So THAT's why my Russian IDNs get so much darn traffic! heh heh

Seriously, Cyrillic IDNs rock!

We'll that and the high Opera uptake in Russia.

Unfortunately not the same in china and japan where MS IE6 has over a 96% strangle hold.
 
The times they are a changin' and we will be rewarded for our patience.
