Linkbuilding for Domains with Umlaut

StartripStartrip
in Need Help
Hey,

i wanna use SER for an old Umlaut-Domain (ä ö ü in it), that i purchased a while ago when Umlauts were new. Its an EMD for a 24k exact match KW, otherwise i wouldnt have bothered to buy it.

When putting the URL into SER, it makes something strange out of it. Does it make sense to use SER in a normal Manner for linkbuilding to an Umlaut-Domain or is it better to forget that domain? I know that some old webcatalogues etc. dont accept Umlauts, but at least contextual properties should be ok..?

Best Regards

    You can use something linke this http://www.idn-convert.de/ to convert your domain to a more compatible format!

    What about the keywords? Better use "ae" instead of "ä" or just put it in with umlauts?

    If you use Google, you can get the same highlighted results with or without using umlauts in keywords, so I think you should be really fine.

    well the point is some pages (like old bookmarkings/directory sites) dont accept ä at all, maybe i get failed submissions.

    Can i use a converter and write "ä" for "ä"? im really a bit confused :D

    You could try the HTML tag like you mentioned or even use the Unicode. I would create a spin like |{ae|ä|ä|ä} so you get things more unique.
