If the surge in your Thai IDN traffic is not as a result of Google SERP, it could be that after the news release, many Thais may have been trying to type Thai keywords with the .com extension just to roughly see if the domains may be available and may be clicking ads while experimenting as well.

[burnsinternet]

Yes, I am pretty sure it was type-in. I couldn't find any indexed.

For whatever reason, I am happy to see Thai traffic!

This is domainguru's site, right?

.

[jose]

http://เกมส์.com belongs to domainguru.
It has been discussed here for a long time.

[Fka200]

It's still forwarding to the ASCII.

[TrafficDomainer]

Are you using IE6 or Firefox? If so, you will be forwarded to http://ThaiGameZ.com as opposed to seeing the punycodes. If you are using IE7, you should see it displays as http://เกมส์.com . IE7 usage rate is about 25% here at the moment

Combined traffic as it's the identical site with dual branding

I think you may need to update this, I can see it as the #1 now on Google!
Damn great!

Not on Google.co.th.

Really some great work that benefits all, thanks again for your effort and Lee's.

I think it was more convincing to have a native saying this stuff instead of a farang. The one thing I felt a little uneasy about was you tried so hard to paint the picture of using generic Thai terms as domains as the way to succeed, and explain all about search engines, etc. Absolutely right of course, but without loads of disclaimers people always seem to interpret the message as "we can get top ranking by using Thai language domains" The truth of course is that your company has a top site for this great keyword not simply because of the domain but because you developed it effectively with great content.

Also sounds like you guys are ready to develop house, work, music - have you started? And if so, which one do you think you'll do first? Great work again!

[burnsinternet]

Wonderful work. If we could all be so productive!

[Ajiotaj]

Excellent work!

I like such news

Congrats!
