    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    chobes - wth is that? LOL

    porn on mobile devices - makes sense. But I know my internet package for my mobile phone is about $1 a minute by the seems of it. Even on the most stripped down website - like the coding done for mobi sites, you won't catch me sneaking peaks very often.

    But as someone else mentioned - monetizing it is another thing over a mobile device. But as open source software like the safari browser being used on the iphone keeps getting better, this issue will become a non-issue.

    Even with porn the question remains - will mobi establish itself as it was intended before the new browsers and phones overtake it?

    From what I understand, monitizing is no longer an issue.

    I have seen these discussed in threads.

    NOTE: Sites mentioned for reference only. I do not own any of the names mentioned nor have I subscribed to this service.

    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    Porn and other .mobi's are a crap shoot. May win, but could lose. I am not a .mobi hater, (I own a number of them), but just being realistic. Yes, I own several porn .mobi's and they may pan out, but look how many got into the adult auction at Moniker. Makes you wonder how viable .mobi is right now? Below is a list of a few of my .mobi's.

    homeporn.mobi
    lesbianmovies.mobi
    tittys.mobi
    sexmodels.mobi
    ponr.mobi (typo)

    So I wait and see if this will pan out, but I think that dot com is king right now and probably always will be.

    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    I just think this entire thread is so humourous to think there are those who think no one would want to view porn on a cell phone with internet access just as no one would ever imagine some people getting off on (egad!) phone sex.

    Imagine...not just "phone sex" but actually seeing the person on a cam...shock and horror and dismay at the thought of any shred of success of the porn industry capatilizing on this growing trend.

    And to think, with 3.5 billion cell phones in existence, what are the chances of anyone even contemplating this as a viable market and anyone even using their cell phone to view pornographic material.

    I mean, what will they think of next...using the cell phone for video poker???

    Say it isn't so!

    It's not so Doc. That is the reality of it. Conversely, if you read it wrong, you are 100% on the money.

    Im always watching porn on my cellphone when I go by train and bus. Some passengers finds its a bit disgusting.. No headphones of course. Then I come home, I directly switch to my laptop watching more porn...

    Porn on cellphone? When and why?

    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    The best thing to do is to ask the owner of those links I gave earlier (if they would consent) the traffic, clicks and revenue from this "mini porn" sites.

    If there are sites already set up to handle the conversion of porn to a mobile site, then there certainly must be something to the porn on mobi thing.

    By the way, one of my highest visited sites (it is parked at NameDrive) consistently month after month for traffic, CTR, and PPC is F*ckVids.mobi. Many .mobi parking services still do not pay that much but this also seems to be the norm for many porn/sex related domains as some pay decent, some squat thanks to market saturation.

    Someone is looking, someone is clicking, someone is into it.

    Nobody is saying that "no one" would want to view porn on a cell phone, that's nonsense, you will no doubt capture of piece of the market, but how big a piece is the question, you have to agree that hand held devices will never come close to desktop or laptop use for viewing porn.

    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    I agree that porn on dot mobi may be in its infancy right now, but things could change? Roll with this thought for a moment.... Several years ago a small company in VA made wearable portable computers for people to do inventory and things like that. They are bankrupt now, but they have many patents for mobile computing. Their name was Xybernaut. Now take their concept and apply it to a cell phone and that small screen that we all view could be turned into a small headset that would give you the feel of looking at a large screen. I know the glasses already exist, but this is the next logical step in portable computing. Might be 5 years down the road, but it will happen. Now throw in voice recognition (dragon software) and you could have voice activated search and viola porn... So those that think that .mobi could be something could be right or it could just die as another tld. The truth lies in the creators of portable computing. Question is how far will they take it..

    Worldbroker,
    Just along for the ride....

    i couldn't disagree more tbh. it's too shortsighted to think that.
    us guys don't know much, but we know our porn
    i mean, cough, ahem, apart from me i'm too much of a gent
    forget .mobi for a second.
    the mobile internet is the future, no doubt.
    think of the hours of boredom spent in planes, trains & automobiles for example.
    if the iphone came with a built in toilet paper dispenser, i would have had one

    Re: The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    The porn industry is something I do not delve into. Yes, names and names only forwarded and parked. Developing sites? No.

    The initial thread The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine was started by someone who has total disdain and no use whatsoever for .mobi. That's fine.

    But I think the key word in that thread title was COULD and I can do nothing but agree.

    A study that I read a couple of years ago stated that webmasters, developers, and programmers for porn sites are the highest paid in the computer industry. Their job is to circumvent, avoid, and get around any block or wall set up to stop them from being accessed. That is almost a daily task of writing and re-writing scripts for this. Sorry, I don't know too much about the technical jargon.

    When I consider the word PORN and all it implies, I would have to guess that porn is perhaps one of if not the biggest draw these days to the internet.

    Taking that concept into consideration along with the simple basic fact that there are an estimated 3.5-4 billion cell phones in use TODAY which is nearly 2 times the number of PC's and laptops along with the studies that indicate that number of cell phones will be 7 billion by the year 2010, it is foolish for anyone to dispute the fact that The sex industry is one area where .mobi COULD be a gold mine.

    But this thread is based on the premise that .mobi is dying or is dead and also coming from the crowd that believes the bastard child name .mobi should have been aborted in the fetal stage by ICANN't before it was born.

    But this is also the same bunch of MobiPhiles and Schillingites that I laughed at years ago while not a member of any of these forums but used to view some of these forums and same blogs that are so revered by many.

    If one person on here owns anything other than a .com then they are committing hypocrisy. And that includes Frank Schilling who owns keywords in nearly every extension and language.

    All I am hearing is Dot Com is king and will remain king. I won't argue that.

    But there are a great many opportunities out there and missed opportunities that many will perhaps regret.

    Time will tell who is right and who is wrong.

    But to dispute human nature's desire, obsession, and wanting to view porn on a portable device is absolutely ludicrous to even suggest that no one wants to view porn on a cell phone.

    If we take only 1% of the current estimated 4 billion cell phones in use are being used to view porn, nudity, voyeur videos...that is 40 million cell phones. That is just one percent.

    That is pretty good numbers and numbers that I would take as a pretty good indication that, yes, The sex industry is one area where .mobi could be a gold mine.

    So seriously, why is this even being debated?
