    Bought two more - need counselling!

    Cracked and bought three more - heeeeeelp me!

    ThePhilippines.mobi - often used with "The" prefix

    CheminDeFer.mobi - gambling names seem to be popular!


    Porne.mobi The non typo is of course premium, this word gets 4/5000 per month at OV and 3/4000 per month at Wordtracker

    I seem to see the names in your sig to have a much higher value than the current mobi ..but thats just my opinion not a fact best of luck.

    Re: Bought two more - need counselling!

    OK, here's your counceling:

    Why are you buying these? If the answer is simply "Because I can", then you need to ask "why can I?" If the answer is simply because others have chosen not too, then you need to ask why they have chosen not too.

    DotMobi needs to be put into a small box. Think about why people will use their mobile devices to access the internet. Probably for a limited number of reasons. Not to surf but to find things quickly. What will they be looking for? It's going to be a pretty limited number of things and it probably doesn't include general information on The Phillipines.

    Could be , but I have been around in this business long enough to know that I have very little idea of what will sell and what will not !

    Thanks for the counselling.

    I will continue to ignore all the sales I am seeing.

    Also I am in profit viz a vie the dozen I have sold and those I have bought , but who cares- We are only in this for fun - aren't we ?

    people arent going to want information on the Phillipines? what if you are traveling there wouldnt it be nice and convenient to go to your phone and get info on restaurants, places to go, sightseeing, maps, hotels, beaches, etc?

    EXACTLY!!! I'm glad the .mobi gang simply get it.. I would have never thought to browse THEPHILIPPINES.MOBI but now that you mention it I think I would have DEFINITELY checked TELLMEWHATTODOINTHEPHILIPPINES.MOBI (which btw hint/hint is still available)

    Re: Bought two more - need counselling!

    As I said , who knows what will sell and what will gather dust but I do make money in this biz so I guess I do something right

    Last month I bought an IDN for reg fee that I sold for $700 within 4 days!

    Wow , I have .mobi , IDN's and other extensions , even some quality .com's , guess I must be a ----- domainer - strange breed.

    Absolutely! You can do whatever you want with it because you're the only person who will ever see it.

    Really , I thought it was a form of Baccarat - shows how little I and 007 know.

    Duck, I appreciate you're doing your best, but I think the time has come for us to make the position of '.mobi hater' a full time post.....if you would like to put yourself forward for the US time zone, I'm sure your application will be looked on favourably due to your unstinting efforts thus far - only thing that may go against you is, you keep coming up with these great names to reg dude....;-)

    I think we may struggle filling the Asian and European time zone places though - seems that's where most of us 'pro-mobiers' hang out....

    Well I know nothing about gambling but it looks like you are correct too, Baccarat is another possible meaning

    Re: Bought two more - need counselling!

    I think what we have here is East and West cultures mixing,


    if your from the East then you know that people say "The" before the Philippines (80 million people, most speak English and net savvy techies)


    If your from the West then you might not have a clue unless you were also Asian.

    It's good to know both sides more to draft well, as long as we all love dot mobi then this is bringing us together from the far reaches of the globe - its awesome and a great Sign.

    Kind Regards,

    Yelo

    Looks like you are an easterner living in the west ? I am a westerner living in the east!

    Interesting comments as well , I wonder what the ratio "westerner to easterner" is of those that like and buy IDN's. /.mobi - all of which are just domain names!
