Yahoo Japan resolves to the domain
For the term ゲームオンラインショップ Game Online Shop my pcゲーム.jp
http://search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=%A5%B2%A1%BC%A5%E0%A5%AA%A5%F3%A5%E9%A5%A4%A5%F3%A5%B7%A5%E7%A5%C3%A5%D7&x=0&y=0&fr=top_v2&tid=top_v2&ei=euc-jp&search.x=1

It displays that in the search results, yes, though obviously as you can see in the search URL it had to go Unicode… Once clicked upon, using IE6, it resolved directly to http://xn--pc-vh4axh5e.jp/ – punycode, via Yahoo’s own redirect.

Yes, it ended up in the right place. But the URL shown is the punycode shown above.

Goo.ne.jp resolves to the domain (Even released a press release this year announcing it)
http://eva045.goo.ne.jp/changes/index.html
You can see on the bottom of Goo’s search service it say’s it’s IDN Friendly (日本語ドメイン)

Yes, I see that, haven’t tested it.

Ok. So let’s say that the SEs can send you to the right domain, as proven above. Why, then, aren’t there a ton of IDNs for certain very valuable keywords?

Spearmaster I work & email friends in Japanese all the time. I’m American & can type a Japanese email on a cell phone faster than I can in English. Do you actually type Japanese?(Not being sarcastic) Look at any Japanese Blog & see how often they “don’t” type correct Japanese because it’s irritating. Japanese comes first for Japanese people. You don’t even need to change the characterset at all to type in a dot jp. I can type in ビンゴ．jp & it will resolve. I didn’t change the character set.

Yes, I can type Japanese, though obviously not very well. And most of my opinions are formed on the basis of people I work with in the industry, who of course are Japanese.

That does not make me any more knowledgeable about the market, certainly not more than any Japanese person – but as you know Japanese people are not prone to giving out advice they would not follow themselves. And they’re not very good liars because in general they are very truthful.

As far as the security issues can you post a current URL of the weakness of an IDN domain for a site? Something that especially refers to Asian domains?

I didn’t research with Asian domains specifically in mind, #1, and #2, if you did a search yourself, you would find that what I have stated is correct.

You want to make good use of your IDNs, I wish you good luck, and I sincerely hope you are right.

But I stand by my opinion that IDNs are currently worthless.
