Seems you are not up to date.
Likely the new mobile browsers will add automatically by default the .mobi to any word introduced by the user.
So....
.mobi = ZERO fingertips
.com = 12226666
Bottom line = -8 keys

That is why mobi is so landrushed

I mean this in the nicest, most respectful way possible....

I wish everybody would shut up about .Mobi

I've got 8 already, I only planned to get 3. And despite the high risk and high reg fees involved, it's hard not to get a little excited about the potential when people keep talking about it.

So I'm begging you, please... shut up. I have too many domains already.

Oh, so the needle is in the vein? I still just have my 3 b/c of my PP cash only rule - but I just got a nice fat Google check in the mail....

Truth be told, I found about 10 great names yesterday including calculus, geology, usage and some other nice ones I can't remember. I decided to follow my rule and not buy... Then, suddenly today in a complete moment of weakness, I rushed to godaddy an loaded them all in the search to buy..... ALL GONE!!! Actually has me wondering if Wang Lee is tapped into the .mobi whois database...

Here's a freebie for the fastest domainer: KILOBYTES.MOBI IS AVAILABLE

I'm just happy the 2 names I did get (vTalk.mobi & vPhone.mobi) have gone through and I'm in the whois!

Happy mobi'ing!

If you have some inside track to this info let us know. I've heard this rumored but haven't seen anything credible yet. It makes a lot of sense and I hope it happens. I will definately by more names on the 11th if this is a for sure thing!

Current .mobi search on google brings up a total of 42,000 .mobi pages indexed. Only 93 results are unique with the rest being duplicates per google. Let's see how many get indexed when the next google update runs.

I noticed however, that some of the pages are godaddy parking pages. I hope more people will be developing their .mobi sites. I, myself have purchased godaddy's Website Tonight program to develope my one site.

I'm going to develop mine right away, they won't be the greatest but I want them indexed asap!!! At least some meta tags, keywords and a few links with some content for now.

Anyone know exactly how to set up a mobi site? Has anyone done it yet? I tried for an hour with the guy at dreamhost but we couldn't get it to validate across the browsers without running into problems. The cellphone emulator, opera and firefox all agree but IE doesn't. I used the template mobi offers - just the index page (index.xhtml). It needs to validate as XHTML Mobile 1.0. Basically I'm asking how you technically set it up (I don't need a template). Do you set the htacess any particular way etc? Thanks for any ideas.

I would also like to know if anyone has set up a site yet, and how you done it? But also does anyone have a template made?

neobodhi

I haven't really got a site up, just a psuedo nothing page. I just copied the html from one of the example sites and changed the text. You can check it out at mwp.mobi. No links or anything just some text so I could view it and see how it looks. You can choose "view" in ie and and then source to copy the html if you want.

Then again I'm seeing many sites listed in the mobi sites list that also not validating xhtml mobile 1.0 as so I don't know...

I just don't want to start a site with a certain type of page file and then have to change it in the future and lose PR etc.

vJRB

What are the differences between making a normal website to a mobi site apart from it being much smaller? Like are there any rules that .mobi wants us to obey? eg the size of the page, .xhtml or .html? I am looking at the mobi website now, but if someone knows the link already that would be great!

gen

There is info here:

http://pc.mtld.mobi/community/content_devforum.html

They offer a template. If you look you will see they are .xhtml files so you would have index.xhtml. If you use firefox or opera or a cellphone, you can see a little landing page I made at phonecard.mobi. It validates perfectly:

http://validator.w3.org/

But the site doesn't work in IE. IE treats it as a downloadable file. Tried to fix that via the htacess file and it broke everything so I changed it back.

There are some differences - basically you need a fast loading small site with some minor things like numbers with the links etc.

It needs to validate as xhtml mobile 1.0. I tried with html at first and it invalidated.

here is the guide:

I tried the template as well and it was giving me real problems.

MobiDesigns.mobi (and .net) will soon be finalized and offering compliant and validated templates for your mobi.

I'm shooting to release a dozen or so templates and also a mirrored "dot site" option as well.

So you turned down a premium name from me to buy .mobi thingies , you are weak , so very weak.

I got TelephoneNumber.mobi and what we all want to be - Wannabe.mobi - don't ask me why, I don't know , my finger was on the button and when the black cloud had passed they were regged.

Is it possible to create and publish an "index.xhtml" file without first creating an htaccess file with the line "DirectoryIndex index.xhtml" in it?


I tried to create the index.xhtml file thinking I could do that just like an index.html file and it didnt work. The site would not resolve to it, only to the list of files. The dreamhost guy had to create an htacess file with that command in it to make it work. Of course, then there are the other problems as I described above.
