Starting to see punycode on Google Ads
I have to see them but I've started to see Punycode in Japanese ads on Adwords.
Seeing the xn-- looks bad but I've noticed occasionally ads where the advertisers had IDN domains.

The one I saw today wasn't a major corporation & Google's initial price for online advertising is a lot less than Yahoo (Overture) is here in Japan. I can't remember seeing punycode much on Yahoo yet.

I have been trying to get both to see to it to add IDN compatibility to adwords & Yahoo Search Marketing. Those of you that work with reps from either company should do the same. Or even posting on forums that have official reps.

They've both added compatibility to their Webmaster tools, so it seems they are working on IDN compatibility.
