Hello Ajay can you clarify what you mean by UA will address all this ? how will googe be forced to treat idn.com equally to ascii.com ? would they ? the main thing is international search engines that are powerful in asia. if they start treating IDN more favourably . I think they do now but not sure - Google wil be forced to do the same as companies with IDN would move away from Google. iwael On Fri, Oct 16, 2020 at 7:11 AM Ajay DATA <ajay@xgenplus.com> wrote:

Hello Wael,

Thanks Bashar for sharing.

Wael, Should there any different treatment for IDN or any other TLD. I believe Universal Acceptance approch must be followed and treat them accordingly in search engines too.

Would be great to hear views.

Thanks

Ajay

Dear Bashar Thank you very much for the useful information. how about international search engines like Bauidu which covers 80% of searches in china. does baidu or yandex give any special treatment to IDN.com or IDN ?

Salaam Alaikom Wael, Search engines (Google at least) doesn`t care about the domain or TLD when it comes to page ranks because it looks to other factors such as back links that improves Page Ranks which improves listing.

And this is a nice article retweeted once about the topic https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2015/07/googles-handling-of-new-top-level.... by John Mueller, Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google.

Yet it`s unfortunate we don`t see any Arabic IDN ranked well but if you Google ".شبكة" you will find اسماء.شبكة https://xn--ggbla1c4e.xn--ngbc5azd/ indexed successfully and ranked among the first few results.

Dear All does an one know how a search engine would treat an IDN.com domain and IDN.IDN domains is it an advantage or a disadvantage to launch IDN in terms of search engine optimization ?
