Problem is you have too many that imho aren't worth reg fee so overall. I say your portfolio is worth zero.

So, to answer your question, there are a lot of well known celebrity home addreeses available if you know where to look. Ask a Paparazzi

Eloping I almost considered mentioning as a decent name but I think someone would type "quick marriage" or "fast wedding" not really eloping. People don't usually say THEY are eloping...it's something others say about a couple mostly because it has a near negative connotation. Again, I can't agree...and I'm not alone...Google results for eloping 342,000..."Quick Marriage" (often mis-spelled) 16,700...and "Fast Wedding"..570...

Haunting...I just don't get it's appeal in the mobile realm. I would be in a creepy place and double check it's not haunted on my cell phone at haunting.mobi? As stated in earlier post, tourists love "ghost tours" around older cities. It's a big business and finding them can be tricky while your out and about...that was my reasoning..wordtraker lists Hauntings as searched 11,640 times a month. For a nitch, I thought that was pretty good!

GroupTours isn't what people would use...it would be tourgroups.mobi instead. Almost...but not quite. Oddly tourgroup.mobi and tourgroups.mobi are not taken. Again, Google results for "Tour Groups"...875,000...."Group Tours"...1.12 Million..Group tours are very popular among tourists. Could be the reason the others are available

DatingHelp..maybe...maybe maybe...it's not terrible. You can run to the bathroom get on your cell and ask for dating help. Odd though and rather geeky..if you need dating help on a mobile you most likely aren't even on a date. This one will be developed. How many teens can use dating help? Ask the teen mags that have been thriving on this subject for years. Teen girls and mobile phones? A great demographic for .mobi, IMHO

As .com most of those names would be so so...as .mobi I don't see then being of any value.

I would think competition would tend to equate to good. To me, it shows interest in the subject matter. Again, the most interesting and relevent content will win IMHO. The mobile world is a big place with room for competition

How many Airline sites do you think there is going to be? How many people are actually going to look for police scanners? Again, I had a different vision...I was thinking live Police Scanner feeds...not scanner sales. You'd be surprised by the amount of scanner junkies out there. Celebrity homes and addresses? Although a very localized business, it is quite popular for tourists (and fans) to be looking for addresses of their idols...both actual addreses and email contacts, which this site will offer.

JD is very specialized. That's good.

NewHairStyles or simply NewHair? You own both. Select one, redirect the other. If you think NewHairStyles is better, than redirect NewHair. Personally, I would go with NewHair as the URL but call and market the site as New Hair Styles. Save 6 letters. You're correct...one could re-direct to the next. My thought process was different than yours though. New hair was regged for new hair growth. Another big business with a lot of potential customers. Just need to find a mobi tie-in...maybe the re-direct route would be better. I can see all of the customers in the salons breaking out their phones to check out the latest new hair styles now. With ads for hair growth , of course

New Hair Styles at NewHair.mobi.

If they can't remember one or the other, it doesn't matter because either one entered will take them to the same place.

Hauntings or GhostTour, GhostTours, Ghost, Ghosts, Spooky, Spooks, Haint, Haints (all very popular in New Orleans)? Hauntings are also referenced to popular celebrity hang outs...go that route; popular restaruants, hotels, clubs, vacation spots for the rich and famous. Now you have created a market with much less competition, one that the pappazzi may key in on as well as the curious and affluent clients who want the best of the best and can afford to hang out at the clubs, spas and the vacation hot spots. Then you redirect your other celebrity domains to that one. Again, marketing and branding.

WeatherForecasters or Weather.mobi? Could be said for any one word premium. Who wouldn't like to own one. Just a logical, lower cost alternative that was available, IMO DatingHelp or Date, Dates, Dating, Singles? Dating Help was meant to be specific for teens. Not a dating or singles site. It's more specialized LowCarbDiets (now on the out) or Diet, Diets? See above. I was going for the specific which is still searched heavily for. I'm on one now and am always on the look for low-carb alternatives to my favorites. PrivateEyes or Dicks, PIS, PES, Eye, Eyes, iSee, Spy, Spies, PIinc, PEinc? If I were looking for a private eye, my guess is I wouldn't go type in PIS, PES, Eye, or any of the others...especially Dicks..but that's just me..

Sure, anything is possible. But go with the least competition. Create your market. Some already do that very thing simply because the domain names are keyword rich.

I think all mine are good because I regged them but that doesn't mean they are. I'll develop the ones that I think have the most potential to succeed and perhaps redirect some of the others to the primary site.

As for LLL needing branding, you are correct. I own LAL.mobi and LALiving.mobi. Which one will I use as the site and which one will be the redirect? That is how I am going to market and brand LAL.mobi...LA Living at LAL.mobi. Dining, weather, clubs, celebrities, real estate, rentals, airport info on one site.
