Is it worth renewing my .mobi?

Hi,
Can anyone advice if its worth me renewing my .mobi

I did a bit of basic development of the domain to test traffic, but got absolutely no traffic whatsoever, are .mobi's a dead duck?

Thanks.

I'm curious, do you actually expect to get traffic to this lame website? How does this even have any bearing on the merits of a tld?

Seriously, what does that website offer a visitor? Nothing. So nobody uses it. No traffic. How is this a reflection of a tld?

Not overly strong keywords. Development(?) - a few links that don't work and an internal server error.

Obviously, .mobi is dead!

My answer:
1-2 years ago I thought mobi was dead.

Now? I believe mobi is a developer/end user opportunity. Not something I'm working on but I know some who are. The registration count keeps going up.

Very few TLDs are not growing so that is not a measure of success.

Agree with the above, there appears to be nothing on this site that would warrant unsolicited backlinks or favorable indexing.
Oh you are indexed in google, a grand total of seven pages which sounds about right, and the titles and descriptions look like those of parked pages.

It could when I think that no domainers appear to be doing the registering. That said, I don't think registration counts mean anything, either, but I think domainers are often surprised to know that it's not flatlining.

I would not buy to invest..but I would buy for other purposes as required
