			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s a new breed of domaining, IDN drop catching &#038; collecting. Is there money in IDN&#8217;s? Heck yeah! It&#8217;s just like re-living the good old .com ASCII domain drop days.</p>
<p>Who says everyone MUST type into their browser &#038; visit a domain in ASCII that looks like: GoodyTwoShoes.com?</p>
<p>If English is not your native language &#8211; then why would you be inclined to type things like &#8220;myDomain.com&#8221; only it your browser? Fact is that the world is enormous with all kinds of web surfers from all parts of the world. Yeah, I may be leaking info out &#8211; but there are great, awesome &#038; profitable IDN&#8217;s that monetize well. People actually type or get translated &#038; directed to an IDN domain which lights up their browser. Either way, they will sooner or later reach an IDN domain &#8211; that translates to their language.</p>
<p>For those of you who are new to the term, an IDN domain stands for Internationalized domain. It is not understandable in ASCII &#8211; english letters. IDN&#8217;s are in PUNY CODE translations to ASCII. </p>
<p>Puny code domains resemble english text like this (from tomorrow&#8217;s drop list):</p>
<p>XN&#8211;MGB5CK75C.COM<br />
XN&#8211;HQ1B35E1TKTVH95A.COM<br />
XN&#8211;OO0BR9BN5CRYJRUILZK.COM<br />
XN&#8211;HQ1BR4KG3A4C850A.COM<br />
XN&#8211;HQ1BR4KG3A4C850A.NET<br />
XN&#8211;DCKF2A6A0O2BS7EC7FC5732KBJ2F.COM<br />
XN&#8211;CCK7AW6MXB.NET<br />
XN&#8211;CCK7AW6MXB.COM<br />
XN&#8211;O39A94X9TK72A.NET<br />
XN&#8211;BJ1BP4K1XHEPP.COM<br />
XN&#8211;910B38BB3F.COM<br />
XN&#8211;MF0BP4IW7AG03A92V.COM</p>
<p>IDN&#8217;s always start with &#8220;XN&#8211;&#8221; each domain can actually mean creative things in various languages. I just plucked out the first 10 or so to drop in that order tomorrow. It gives you an understanding of what an IDN is.</p>
<p>I took a visit by Verisign since they have a very useful IDN Conversion Tool. However it lacks the dictionary translation lists.</p>
<p>I am not claiming to be an expert on this topic by any means. Just reporting the success various users are achieving with IDN domain drop catching &#038; my software. It must mean something good.</p>
<p>Various ways you can find buyers for your IDN&#8217;s include:</p>
<p>1.) Forums (reseller market)<br />
2.) End User Contact (putting the domain to use)<br />
3.) It&#8217;s just that good &#038; seeked for (lucky you for finding the gem)<br />
4.) Others in the game may contact you who were also chasing that IDN.</p>
<p>Please do your research. I have not gotten involved with IDN&#8217;s much myself. I wish I had the time to translate each drop into various language codes. Maybe I will soon, you never know. I will report what I catch &#038; flip if I join the fun.</p>
<p>PS &#8211; I may have gotten the terms messed up &#038; etc.. If so, sorry &#8211; again I am not an expert IDN drop catcher.</p>
