Are you sure about the translation of Macedonia? I don't speak Greek, so I'm not claiming to know (Maybe a native speaker can verify).

Perhaps there are multiple translations of Macedonia, as I own another translation of it (μακεδονία), which returns 825,000 Google vs. 321,000 Google.

Any idea about this?

The only difference appears to be the accent over the i. The "correct" version would be the one with the accent. However, un-accented versions usually have higher Ovt because they are easier to type and Greeks usually drop the accents when typing.

Gotcha - thanks for clarifying!

Concur, with that. It would seem that without is a more appropriate form for a domain, but nobody will know for sure until the traffic stats start piling in.
