Banned extensions?
Seriously, that is why bodis is looking better and better each day monitizing foreign traffic, all extensions, and even IDN's and (egad!) the lowly .mobi.
Y can play games all it wants. In the end, it is a lose, lose, lose proposition now and going forward. Perhaps Y wants to be an english only search engine.
And for all this talk about those other extensions being spam and scammer havens? give me a break. I would ask to see proof of that. On a percentage basis of the number per extension regged vs the number of that extension used as spam or scams. I hardly think that such data exists and is fabricated by those that feel threatened in losing traffic to their extension.
Yes, it is pure bullshit made up analysis. Why do I say that? Because this is about parking. It is not about anything else other than parking.
Lets see if Yahoo bans or limits the traffic per day on some of my sites that are not .com. It's not going to happen. It is simply not going to happen.
