I have clicked and counted the links and got following statistic:
- a total of 208 .mobi links on the page.
- 71 of them when clicked on redirects to a .com (either a subdomain like m.domainname.com or domainname.com/m/ ; domainname.com/mobi/)
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/dot-mobi/618579-is-mobi-dead.html
- 36 of them doesnt resolve to anything or doesnt work.

So out of 208 links on that page 107 either redirects or doesnt work. Thats 51,44% of the links.

Following I did not count as it would take me time I dont want to use on this subject:
Many of the 101 .mobi sites working was simple one/two/three page sites with nothing worth visiting the site for.

So maybe it would not be so good idea to link to this site if you are contacting a potential buyer.
