.mobi .mobi monetizing

Blimn · Dec 22, 2008

How do you make money off of a .mobi extension?

Any thoughts?

u8l2 · Dec 23, 2008

Hi Jeff,
I'll post one sites earnings for the past year.
Keep in mind that i have more than one advertiser as well. i only posted admob stats because that is what is being discussed or mentioned by you. i make close to 3k a month in total on my mobi sites including all affiliates.

So now that you've seen proof of .mobi being monetized,
I'm curious on how you'll attempt to shoot it down next!

^ Relax and take a deep breath (maybe have some eggnog), friend! :santa:

I'm not "shooting anything down" or, as suggested above, "accusing anyone of lying" ... I'm simply looking for honest clarification, IMHO. I saw the GIF on the shania.mobi/etc. but I also know that Rob is involved with parking "dot Mobeys" on his MobiSiteTrader platform, as well. :gl:
Are the Nov. 1st - Dec. 1st ad requests / revenues above for shania.mobi alone ... or do these STATS include other developed generic & memorable "dot Mobey" (and which ones?) sites that are highly ranked in the search engines?

Regards.

Thanks much for the infos!

Hi and thank you Rob,
You earned ... $145.41 for your "MST" for the full year? :blink:

Please

break down by domain/site, if you would, the approx. $3,000/month in total on your "dot Mobey" generic and highly ranked websites (including AdMob™ and all affiliates), and thanks for the insight. :gl:

u8l2 · Dec 23, 2008

Hi Jeff,
Yes that is all mobisitetrader earned in the past year. the dedicated server costs $165 a month to run that site

Goes to show that parking your mobi's just doesnt pay anyway you look at it but i created the site to give mobi people a better option than sedo and godaddy for parking your mobi names.
This is another screenshot of earnings today from another affiliate... this day has close to 12 hrs left in it.

Ouch, but you should be applauded for your hard work and efforts with MST! :music: :imho:

Righto, understood ... simple "dot Mobey" parking does not pay! :yell:

Thanks again, Rob ... but, to be clear, you are stating that your specific REVENUES (from AdMob and all affiliates!) for all of your generic, developed, and highly-ranked "dot Mobey" websites is $3,000/month? :gl:

Just to be clear ... and Happy Holidays! :santa:
-Jeff

u8l2 · Dec 23, 2008

Jeff

Yup to be clear, i am expecting to earn closer to 3.5k this month from my generic developed mobey names.

My last years earnings have been published here in this book
http://trendinews.com/mobile_domains_future_javier_marti.pdf

This year my earnings have increased 50% easily

this is the first time since that book was released that i have posted my earnings.

It seems that the parking site is a drain on the wallet but it is thru the goodness of my investors heart that i keep this server up and running.

Happy Holidays !! we have close to 2 feet of snow here, another foot expected tonight. Im digging in for a couple weeks hehe

Cheers

Noted ... also that they are DEVELOPED generic "dot Mobey" websites! :gl: :music:

Other than AdMob™ ... which specific monetization/revenue affiliates are you utilizing, and which five (5) websites are consistently your Top 5 performers for monthy revenues (amongst all revenue sources)? :gl:

It's been established that parking "dot Mobeys" is not a fulfilling career path, IMHO ... and it seems fair to say, at least for you, that the long and awkward "dot Mobey" (IMHO) has not been a hindrance to you and your SEO and monthly revenue performance, as well.
How would you recommend ... at this point in time ... that someone new or newer to domains, and specifically "dot Mobey" domains, have the potential to earn at least similar $3,000/month?
Does having pure "dot Mobey" generics matter ... to a very large degree? IYHO.

Thanks again, Rob.

Ouch! :p

PS. Hawkeye, Keith ... please feel free to share your specific revenue $ STATS ... and share in the ongoing and enlightening discussion here and in the #1 Namepros "dot Mobey" Forum™. :talk:

Currently i am partnered with bustbox media. which if you follow mobile web news just signed a deal with playboy.

That and admob are the my two current affiliates and advertisers.

Yes generics have everything to do with it 100%
Although it takes knowledge to create these kind of search results
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=shania+twain+3gp&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=shania+3gp&btnG=Search

which link would YOU click on if you were looking for a shania twain 3gp video for your mobile phone?

Thanks for the info, I do like Playboy© IMHO.

Fair enough, I figured as much ... generic terms even seem, to some degree, to make the inherently awkward and long "dot Mobey" extension less of a hindrance (in the context of monetizations) - when combined with proper SEO techniques (that Mr. Reece appropriately mentioned here earlier in the thread), IMHO. :gl:

Jeff,

It is a good thing most people arent like you because www.shaniatwain.com isnt in the search results. at least not in the first ten pages. Dont quote me on this but i believe that 85% of people that google anything click on the first search result. which has previously posted is shania.mobi. i occupy the first and second search results.

i own 150 dotmobi girls first names currently ive only developed ten. Im sorry im not posting which names earn what because trust me that my competitors would love to know that info.

I released 3 sites last month .. within 15 days those 3 sites where getting 500 visitors a day each. earning close to $15/day

Yeah, I don't believe your 85% / "first result" percentage is correct, IMHO ... but I typically default to the established .COM (and which came up easily in the first results for "shania twain" at Google™) - I would never search for "shania twain 3gp", humbly)!

:music:

Good enough and I understand your reasoning, but for the purposes ... and I greatly appreciate your understanding ... of the integrity of this thread, we would need verifiable and FULL detailed monthly revenue stats (for all "dot Mobey" domains/sites)! :gl: :imho:

Congrats again, and Happy Holidays Rob! :santa:

:hi:

To quickly recap ... and please clarify if I'm misunderstood ... some developed (and fully mobile compliant) GENERIC "dot Mobeys" can make revenues (monetizations)

from various sources / affiliates (including AdMob™) despite the extension's inherent awkwardness, although at this point in time none can be completely 100% verified for the purposes of this thread / contextual discussion, IMHO. :gl:

Happy Holidays. :santa:

Ive posted screenshots from one sites earnings ($1498.69) for a year and it clearly states shania dotMobi on the pages earnings report. did you want my paypal login details to verify that admob paid me out? or maybe i should get the earnings report notarized. haaaaaaaaa.

to be clear im not here to pump up mobi nor to bash it. im here to reply to this newbies request and that is exactly what ive done. yes mobi can be monitized.

Cheers
Rob

Jeff · Dec 27, 2008

Clarification.

^ Righto, I got that one Rob ... the developed "Shania.mobi" one year revenues from AdMob™ from 12/23/07 - 12/23/08 were $1,494.40 from your screenshot IMHO. :gl:
Thanks for the assist.
PS. This stat, unless I'm mistaken, is the ONLY verified

monetization (as yet) here in this thread ... for the purposes of our discussion! :talk: :imho:

... to be clear im not here to pump up mobi nor to bash it. im here to reply to this newbies request and that is exactly what ive done. yes mobi can be monitized.

Hopefully all new and newer members can appreciate your candor and kind assistance ... you seem to have proven that developed generic "dot Mobeys" can be monetized, despite - as I've stated from the outset - the length and inherent awkwardness of the unproven extension, IMHO.

Will others - including supporters of the extension - now be willing to post similarly ... their verified and detailed revenues / earnings of developed "dot Mobeys"?!? :blink:

Thanks again and Happy New Year! :santa:

Better yet, since the question originally was -

How do you make money off of a .mobi extension?

and you replied as you always do in every posting on .mobi -

Jeff said:
... it's very VERY difficult with the long & awkward "dot Mobey" extension

Why do you keep avoiding to explain - why you feel that that only 3 character extensions are simple and not difficult to monetize?? And why do you keep turning the conversation for others to prove your points of view??

It would be nice to finally get a clarification on what you base your 'many times stated' opinion on this very subject of monetization and the length of extensions! (And not another 'blame others reply'.)

If you're going to preach it, you should clarify why you say it.

Jeff · Dec 27, 2008

hawkeye said:

Exactly ... and Rob has kindly posted some verified monetization STATS for one of his developed (and generic) "dot Mobey" domains, IMHO.
Would you please care to do same, friend? :blink:

It would be nice to finally get a clarification on what you base your 'many times stated' opinion on this very subject of monetization and the length of extensions!

It's crystal clear ... the "dot Mobey" is unnecessary, long, and awkward (all of these significantly unfortunate traits, by and large, being a hindrance to effective monetizations on a grand scale with that doomed extension, IMHO. Greedy mTLD also seems to be doing very VERY little to support and promote the "dot Mobey" extension, as well ... now even 2+/+ years after launch!

:imho:
R.I.P.

Happy New Year! :music:

So this same 'reasoning' (dribble) also applies to .info, .asia, .co.uk etc. right?? So why are you not saying the same things about these extensions? Or is it again, your hate for one particular extension that makes you only babble this, again 'dribble', on .mobi, but not the other 4 letter or more, extensions??? I mean they are extensions with 'long', 'awkward' unfortunate traits too. Your 'dribble' analogy can't only apply to one extension that is the same as others, so again, please clarify the difference in why you only say 'one' extension is not 'monetizable, yet you don't say the same about the others. (if you can)

Jeff · Dec 27, 2008

Off topic.

The topic of this thread is the .MOBI, more specifically "dot Mobey" monetizing ... if you'd like to start a new thread(s) on the topic(s) of other extensions, friend - please feel free to do so, and I may comment as best convenient IMHO. :gl: :talk:

Remember friend, deep breaths and perhaps have some eggnog ... and again Happy Holidays! :santa:

As usual, you change the subject, and avoid any questions that you can't answer or would justify your ranting nonsense. Just more of your - "Flame baby, flame!" rants here.

'Such a waste of oxygen!'
