What format for links?

[moegreen]

Do links have to be in unicode or punicode for Google to count them when determining ranking? Or either?

Thanks.

Punicode is best for everyone. But google uses both.

If you link with punycode, people with IE6 won't be able to access the link. Important, n'est pas?

Can any of the Mods here explain why this member -- moegreen (Owner of Sénégal.com) and member brianluedke (Also owner of Sénégal.com) are allowed to continue?

This is the same guy and yet he has 2 accounts.

It's the opposite. If you link with punycode, everyone can access the link...but with unicode you need an IDN compatible browser.

oops, yeah sorry, that's what I get for posting at 3 am. But good you corrected me. Linking with unicode is the wrong thing to do unless you have a 100% installed user base of IDN browsers, and who has that?

Also you shouldn't just worry about Google. In some parts of the world, Google is still just small potatoes.
