Re: More fun from the Japanese blogs
IDNs came out years ago & people registered them but since they couldn't use them they just forgot about them. I remember people talking about them years ago too.
Some people just thought it was a fad thing or it wasn't popular & just went away.

A lot of SEOs are looking to the US market to see what changes there are. There are some things that affect international SEO like encodes, & IDNs that have no relevance in the US SEO market currently.

I change my stance on domains in English for Japanese but domains in Japanese have the most value for Japanese. There would be no domaining industry in Japan until IDNs could be used.
