I'd like your appraisal on these arabic IDNs of mine. All Google results numbers and trends are with quotes.

القيادة.com
TheLeadership : 2,040,000 GG results, trends, primary term I think, could a native end-user be interested ?

nice catches, arabic is just so confusing for me

I think I fell into a lot of traps but now it gets better, after some experiences like أبوـظبي with the arabic hyphen. Doesn't seem to work at least for direct navigation, but when IDNs will be available in Adwords it could do well, keeping it until these times to see...
