Very nice,
for those interested here is a link to a story on GOOG

Heres a nice little quote from the article

" The Arab world's online-advertising market is tiny today at $10 million to $15 million, but its overall ad market is worth about $5 billion, some $2 billion of which is spent on "pan-Arab" advertising, according to Iskander. "

Nice find. It's great to hear that after reading about them move into Russia earlier this year. It's a great time to be in domains with international ppc... hint, hint, nudge, nudge... Ahem...psst...IDN.

I guess that's a lesson many of the legacy domainers have yet to learn. Or they just can't read. One of the two. Or I guess both could be a possibility.
