the system also does not like dashes.
c--net.com was really showing mixed links to cnet.com

This was noted and there is now a quikstart guide showing how to avoid this. It is not the system tho. Unfortunately it is the search engines. check this:
http://search.lycos.com/main/?query=...capcomasia.com
as you can see, some of the se's see it as the same damn thing as capcomasia.com.hk
Not much we can do about that on our end. Our linkpop programs rely on what the SE's tell it.
Someone smart would take this domain and put areal page on it with targetted metas and seeing as how the SE's see it as the other anyways, they would give you their linkpop rating theoretically. Meaning you could still profit off it with just a tiny bit of work.
This does however show me that I need to add some icons to the bottom of the link popularity checker which you can use to open a new browser for each SE checked to see the actual results yourself. That should kill any confusion.
Another suggestion gained from this is to add an extra action icon that allows the domain to be checked via the wayback machine to see if there was actually a website on it before. Another good way to determine the gems from the "false hits"
