Hi Guys (and gals)

Recently regged:

CelebrityVideos.mobi
CelebrityAddresses.mobi

Has my train de-railed

or am I on the right track?

Both are reasonably mobi content appropriate, but are too long.

Thanks for the reply Jagusa

Just wondering, what would be considered not too long. Where do you draw the line? One word? Two short words? Would love to hear some opinions on this!

I consider domains with stems beyond 11-14 letters as long, and it's a fairly short trip from there to awful. Conversely, I'd consider six letters or less as short. There are probably curves showing the domain names length distributions somewhere.

Two words are fine when they go together. Three words gets into questionable territory unless it's a very familiar phrase (like, "ILoveYou").

Long names can still be valuable. Dnjournal shows some quite long names going for Xxxxxx ---> enterprisemobile.com. Valuable, but I consider longer names as riskier ventures. For .mobi, I think short will be exponentially more desirable.

origionally, I agreed. My first .mobi reg was OnFly.mobi. Kind of thought it would be a good portal for things on the fly. But with bookmarks, I believe that relevancy will rule in the long run. But only if it makes "mobi sense"
