How much does your .mobi portfolio earn you daily?

-REECE- · 05-04-2007, 03:04 PM

Just a fun little thread to see how much everyone's earning. Inspired by many people's comments about good earnings on parked .mobis, I'm in the process of parking ~340 of my 358 .mobis over at Sedo.

I hope to have some figures of my own soon

Jeff · 05-04-2007, 03:23 PM

I presently earn $0.00 ... with my four remaining .MOBI's, IMHO.

FathomJH · 05-04-2007, 03:48 PM

$56.21

j/k

I currently earn zilch. I don't have mine parked anywhere to earn $

mjnels · 05-04-2007, 04:02 PM

unless your mobi is devloped, expect zero.

Other than domainers hunting for names I tend to agree.

$0.00, haven't ever put up ads of any kind and do not intend to anytime soon. To be honest, I really wish that more .mobi developers followed suit. The earnings generally aren't much at the moment anyways, so why turn off visitors for the sake of a few pennies? Right now our goal should be to get the public to embrace .mobi, and having ad-free mobile sites is one way to win their favor.

I'm developing my favorite ones, but I bought some more to reduce potential competitiors on the ones I plan to develop, rather than for anything else, so if I could earn my reg fees back on those, it would be nice. I have others like antioxydant, which mean antioxidant in different languages (in this case, French), which I may consider developing in the future, granted I'm fluent in French, but my main priority is english sites for the moment.

It's an interesting proposition, having no ads on developed sites... I might just do that myself. Earnings on my developed sites are quite low and the ads are annoying.

Hey Reese, getting ready to park so no income yet. Where did you find peoples comments about good earnings on parked mobi's? I am trying to determine where to park and it looks like Sedo and NameDrive are our only choices at present time. Looks like a tossup to me so far. Bodis is getting some attention but I'm not sure they have mobi templates. Thoughts?

Hey Cobo,
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=324219

There have been a few threads in this forum lately about increasing traffic to Sedo/Namedrive parked sites, so I thought I would give it a try myself over at Sedo and see what happens. I've heard alot of trash about Namedrive and low earnings per click, so I'm staying away from there.

cobo · 05-04-2007, 08:04 PM

Thanks Reese, yeah, I've heard that too but really about both companies. So it is almost like .. toss a coin. As I'm not really interested in PPC income at this point (although I won't turn it down) and more interested in selling off the ones I won't develop, maybe I'll try NameDrive first and we can compare notes later. See ya...

Sounds good

I'll post back in a few days once it seems the numbers have averaged out.

Work In Progress · 05-04-2007, 08:16 PM

I've got a total of 49 parked mobi's at Namedrive (they were at SEDO, but had 0 clicks there in about 2 weeks)
They've now been at ND for about 1 week and just got some clicks in the last 2 days..although, all are low paying

WOW! A whole .32 so far...

If nothing else, it's an easy way to see what names are being "looked at"
Beats doing nothing!

Cool, granted I'm parking 7 times as many, I might be able to make $50 on the year... Hey it's free money, so I won't complain

Thanks for the stats Work In Progress.
For sure Reese, and it will help with some reg fees later or at least get a round of beer for those attending the hopefully future annual MOBI CONVENTION!

I'd be lucky if I made more than a few cents per week

-REECE- · 05-04-2007, 08:50 PM

I have a few 'adult' names, so it may not take many clicks for the money to start rolling

Sorry, I have to disagree with that. Having Mobi sites parked right now is not going to make or break .mobi, in any way shape or form.

Developing .Mobi sites is not going to win their favor. People hyping their developed .Mobi's on this forum or any other forum isn't going to win their favor.

In fact, nothing we do is going to win their favor. The only thing that is going to win their favor is the big guns getting their sites up and promoting it, along with a .mobi default button. Otherwise, it dies.

zero zilch nada...parked at Sedo. I really want to get rid of my mobi names l33t.mobi and n00b.mobi

I agree but this doesn't appear likely to happen...especially that default button.

garrett200 · 05-05-2007, 02:47 PM

Well, if niether one of those two things happen, we are screwed, no matter who develops what.

Of course not, I never said that. If you would re-read what I said, you might notice that what I'm asking is that developers don't put up ads at this point if they don't earn much of anything anyways. Mobile screen don't display anywhere near as much text as a PC, and it's pointless to even say how annoying ads are even on a PC...just think of how annoying they could be on mobiles. Long and the short of it: If you're not earning more than a few pennies with your mobile ads, it might be best to not have them at all.

I beg to differ. IMHO developing sites makes all the difference in the world. Otherwise all people will see at .mobi domains is a parked page, which certainly won't help the extension become popular...

Development, development, development! It would be foolish to rely completely on the "big guns". Do we need these "big guns" to push .mobi in order for it to "succeed"? I would agree on that...but our efforts are not futile. You know why? Because it works the other way around as well. If only a few "big guns" use .mobi, it won't become big. It needs the small men like us to develop .mobi sites as well.

Nobody is looking at any .mobi sites anyway, so why does it matter if it's parked or not? They're not being looked at, developed OR parked. So I stick by what I said, having parked pages doesn't matter. Some of the most visited type in pages on .com are parked, earning their owners hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars per month, and it doensn't hurt .com one tiny bit! And it won't hurt .mobi either, if it takes off. Parked pages have nothing to do with .mobi becoming popular or not.

Hogwash too. If the "big guns" don't start promoting their mobi's, this extension will die, even if us little guys make the most fabulous sites the earth has ever seen. If the little guy can make this extension work, why is it not already working?? Sorry if this is not what some people want to hear, but that's the reality.

Am I against development? Hell no, but I'm not about to waste my time developing any .mobi until the biggies are in it to win it. Otherwise, developing a .mobi at this point is just an exercise in futility.

agree for the most part.... but if you do have development plans it never hurts to get ahead of the game (and not wait for the biggies)
