[Fka200]

So what happened with the auto update?

[blastfromthepast]

Traffic is up 300000%. I'm about to retire and move to a small island. See you later.

[alibuba]

no fucking way, serious

[rhys]

He's joking. But still its a happy event.

[alibuba]

blast you should of at least thru one of these :p things in your post.

lol

on a serious note though is traffic at least a little bit up?

[Fka200]

[touchring]

i suspect this is postphoned indefinitely. microsoft is now busy taking over yahoo. au will be considered once the take and integration is complete! :o

[Drewbert]

Only 300000%? Pah! You're a lightweight.

At some point, we're all going to just give up. This is what, the 3rd time it's been expected?

I don't bother thinking about AU nowadays. If it comes, it is a bonus.

Google gives $1 commission whenever a person installs Firefox.

microsoft doesn't even bother to give out IE7 when they could do it for almost free. Bill gates and steve balm is getting old.

Japanese IDN spring is coming

[Rubber Duck]

They have so many security patches to feed out that the servers are overloaded!

[mulligan]

Nope .. no big jump for me (Yet?) .. Russian is by far the heavyweight and has been for some time
Just one example:

Russian-Blah-Blah-Domain.com .. Views 1771 >> Clicks 383 >> CTR %21.63 >> PPC US$ 0.03 (Yeah, so the PPC is shit) >> Earnings so far for Feb US$ 12.14

[Rubber Duck]

Russian surged yesterday. Now heading for three quarters of total clicks.

According to the press it is already happening.

IE7の自動更新による配布が開始2月13日以降ユーザーに順次通知
2月14日14時33分配信 Impress Watch



写真：Impress Watch

　マイクロソフトは13日、Windows XPおよびWindows Server 2003向けのInternet Explorer 7（IE7）日本語版について、自動更新による配布を開始した。

　IE7は、Windows Vistaで標準搭載されている最新バージョンのIEで、Windows XP版およびWindows Server 2003版についてもIE7は公開されていたが、これまではユーザーが自分でダウンロードしてインストールする必要があった。

　今回、IE7が自動更新の対象となったことで、Windows XPおよびWindows Server 2003のユーザーに対して、IE7のインストール通知が行なわれるようになった。通知されるタイミングはユーザーによって異なるものの、13日から数日のうちに対象の全ユーザーに通知される予定となっている。また、通知前であっても、手動でWindows Updateを行なうことにより、優先度の高い更新プログラムとしてIE7がリストアップされ、ここからインストールすることもできる。

　IE7のインストール通知では、ユーザーがIE7をインストールするかどうかを選択できる。確認画面で「インストールしない」を選択すると、IE7はインストールされず、さらに今後IE7のインストール通知が表示されることもない。また、IE7をインストールした場合でも、アンインストールしてIE6に戻すことも可能となっている。

　マイクロソフトでは、IE7の自動更新に関する告知ページを開設しており、自動更新のメッセージが出た場合の操作方法や、IE7の活用方法などについて案内している。

Third time and three years later. Shit. We need another meeting. Who's up for another?

Google gives $1 commission whenever a person installs Firefox

Only a couple problems. Firefox doesn't have the reach we need in non-latin based countries. Second if I was a native average Russian typing in porn in russian and my browser switched the domain to www.xn--whatever.com (http://www.xn--whatever.com) it would get me off that site quickly.

Didn't see Rhys' post.

Anyways he's right auto-update has begun. http://日本語.jp/access/ie7_autoupdate.html

IE7で日本語JPドメイン名がさらに便利に

2月13日から、Windows XPユーザーへInternet Explorer (以下、IE) 7日本語版の自動更新による配布が始まりました。 IE7は「セキュリティ機能強化」「タブブラウジング機能」などが特徴とされていますが、「日本語ドメイン名への標準対応」も大きな進化です。
従来のIE6では、「日本語.jp (http://日本語.jp/)」などの日本語JPドメイン名URLにアクセスするために、別途プラグインなどを利用することが必要でした。しかし、IE7ではユーザーは面倒なステップを踏むことなく、日本語JPドメイン名に簡単にアクセスできるようになります。
今回のIE7の自動更新は、誰もが日本語JPドメイン名にアクセスできる環境を整えるものです。


日本語JPドメイン名とは？

http://日本語.jp/access/ekimachi.jpg
日本語JPドメイン名は、「駅街ガイド.jp (http://駅街ガイド.jp/)」のように、漢字やひらがな、カタカタなどを使ったJPドメイン名です。
日本語の文字列をそのままドメイン名、URLとして利用することができるため、「わかりやすい」「覚えやすい」「入力しやすい」「印象的」などの特徴があります。
このような特徴を利用して、「生茶.jp (http://生茶.jp/)」「有森裕子.jp (http://有森裕子.jp/)」など、企業の商品やサービスのサイト、著名人のブログなどで幅広く利用されており、現在約14万件の日本語JPドメイン名が登録されています。（日本語JPドメイン名最後の「.jp」は、全角で「。ｊｐ」と入力してもアクセスすることができます。）


日本語JPドメイン名でわかりやすい誘導を

アスポタ登録のアスリートが運営するスポーツコミュニティサイト「aspota(アスポタ)」では、よりわかりやすい情報提供を目指し、2007年8月の運営開始時から、サイトのURLを「http://アスポタ.jp/ (http://アスポタ.jp/)」としています。
さらに、所属するアスリートのブログを「http://有森裕子.jp/ (http://有森裕子.jp/)」「http://石井琢朗.jp/ (http://石井琢朗.jp/)」など、それぞれの名前の日本語JPドメイン名を利用したURLに統一し、名刺にも日本語JPドメイン名のブログのURLを記載することでファンに対するわかりやすいサイト誘導に努めています。

http://日本語.jp/access/meishi_arimori.jpg
日本語JPドメイン名をはじめとするJPドメイン名サービスを提供するJPRSでは、今回のIE7の自動更新により、わかりやすく印象的な日本語JPドメイン名の利用がいっそう進むものと考えています。

Have one. If the U.S. is any indication of how fast IE7 auto-update is going to happen. Then we have approx. 128 days for it to be complete.

Other than that, I'm ready to party. I'm looking for IDN meeting #2. Where next?

It will be in the Eastern Hemisphere for sure. I think maybe we should start a poll. I'm game for anything. But it's been mainland Europe leading from people I've been talking to.

I'm game, with some lead time.

You sure you want chain smoking, betel nut spitting, toilet-unflushing hooligans in SG? :p

I hear tell they can "whip" you Holigans right into line in no time flat in SG :p

[Drewbert]

Put me down for Europe.

Anywhere there. UK, Western Europe, Eastern Europe. Southern Europe. Northern Europe.

And if you can time it so that there's an F1 GP happening close by, that would be even better.

It’s been ie7 auto update three months since last November in Korea.
Only 7% of ie7 browser percentage became 33% market share now.
As we expected, there is rarely and almost no type ins yet
For the type ins, I believe we have to wait near 2 more years.
By the end of this year (maybe fall season), we going to have 7-90% of ie7 browser share in Korea.
At that point, very few big boys will start their TV commercials. And another more than half year will be needed for following and showing many big corporations ads one mass media commonly.
This whole process will take almost 2 years from now totally. Verisign’s web navigation service could save near one year wistfully.
If some of you gets some offers from Korea, it could be some domainers’ offers
Not yet, serious offers from the end users.
And... Very top genetic and good market key word Korean IDNs(maybe inside top 50) priced something around 50,000 US dollars now in Korea if they are met right buyer and seller.

Ops, from 7% to 33%, the multiple is only x2!

Funny thing is, i'm still getting much less traffic than when web navigation was working!

Same as what i am estimating, though for top 30.

I'm game, with some lead time.

For guy toilet users: when you come to singapore, unless it is in your hotel room or at home, pls do not sit on the toilet bowl! I rather they do it like in China, all squat toilets.

[Rubber Duck]

Time to sell up and get what you can for those crappy Japanese names. Ask Dabsi, she is a Sedo accredited IDN expert!

[Rubber Duck]

Russian is off limits! Go back to your bloody Japanese. :p

Sure .. as long as you got a tough ass ... :p

Yep .. in September in SG

[mulligan]

I hear tell they can "whip" you Holigans right into line in no time flat in SG :p
Thats just a rumor ... :p

But in all seriousness .. If you wanna come out here I can arrange some cheap (ish) accommodation and show you the 'sights' If that's your buzz ...

I conducted a quick access ananysis to my dozens of Japanese IDN websites.
According to which, the following percentage of visitors to my websites were using IE7.

25.86% between 14 Feb and 21 of Feb

21.59% between 1 Feb and 12 of Feb

16.68% in January as a whole

15.79% in December as a whole

14.98% in November as a whole

We could meet at DomainFest which will be in Paris in June I think.

I'm interested in meeting if it is in Asia ro Europe. Japan could be a good place. I'd like to meet some Japanese domainers -- they seem to keep a low profile.

Thanks for the stats. It seems to be ramping up gradually, then. Just as I expected.
