.mobi ADS.mobi will make .mobi history on T.R.A.F.F.I.C.

[Quality Names]

From all the .mobis about to be auctioned on T.R.A.F.F.I.C. (including the silent auctions), ads.mobi has
the highest reserve price (100k-250k) and, although it is not a decisive factor, it IS a three letter gem, therefore, I'd put my money on it (in fact, I pre registered for it, along with many others of course...) as the highest .mobi sale so far...specially for being the least talked about....

Among the .coms....PORN.com will probably rule the conference with its reserve price on 5MM?
Any opinions?

Cheers!


P.S. Trash.mobi is finally being auctioned!!!:

oh that news about ads.mobi is really good news for mobis and incredibly good news for my mediakit.mobi )))
thank you for sharing. you made my day!

Sorry, but I think this is a bit of a stretch for me. Actually, more than just a bit. High reserves don't equal high sales.

I'll take singles, realty, homes, pizza, etc over ads.

The most important thing is any .mobi reaching 200k, 250k or more....

Hello Quality Names.

ads.mobi has the highest reserve price (100k-250k)..

What does that price-range represent?

Do we know the reserve price, exactly?

 

[Quality Names]

Hi -db-

There is a link for the Master Domain List for the upcoming T.R.A.F.F.I.C Auction on
this website, and there is where I've found the info.

Hello QualityNames,

I do not fully share your enthousiasm for ads.com
While I agree it's one of the better names for me the .mobi with more potential is RealEstate.mobi

Ads is not a "popular" name, by this I mean it does not target the mass but only advertisers or publishers (this represents probably less than 0.1% of potential mobiles users).
At the inverse anyone over 18 years is concerned about real estate and there is a big business behind.

I will also add that the bigger online advertising actors are already well known and communicate through their own brand.
I know what I talk as I own a good series of these very popular advertising terms in the dot com.
Also people that search for advertising use to search advertising, not ads.
To finish, here again, at the inverse the term that better descrive real estate is real estate so yes this generic have a potential really but really higher then ads.

Now, who know?
Maybe I will be treaten of idiot when we will see the result.

These post are only here to exchange ideas, discuss...

Thanks to have share your opinion with us.

ADS.mobi, to me anyway, has just slightly more potential value (undeveloped) than any other very good combination of random three-lettered domains in this space, IMHO.

The MOST important thing is any .mobi reaching any reasonably and verifiably higher valuation ... by being acquired by a known End user with immediate plans for its development and launch! :music: :imho:

Trading, bartering, and sales between the usual suspects is not necessary important or positive for the .MOBI extension at this time, in my humble view.

[nrmillions]

no way ads.mobi will get anywhere near $200k

 

[Quality Names]

Hmmm...
I don't know...I'm very excited about all .mobis on traffic, but ads.com is such a perfect,short and strong .mobi domain...
It's Advertisement!

Must of you guys are experieced investors and I respect your opinions a lot...
ads.mobi is just my candidate...hehehehe

I'm cheering for .MOBI!


By the way, right now my domain trash.mobi is being auctioned!

You are right Jeff.

Here in France people have never hear about the dot mobi.

I even make a test last week:

I registered the mobi version of few french sites of importance and I contacted the owners for imediately resale the domains for few hundred dollars.
Result: No one sold.
Their response was mainly that even for reg fee they will not buy it.

Personally I am a fan of the dot mobi because even before the launch I thought they was promised to a good future because they are associated to mobile devices and everyone should have internet access from his cell in the near future.

But I have to admit today is still FAR to be the case even for site owners.

Also if you look at the .mobi sites already developped, it look likes a joke, they are really rare.

I suppose that we need to wait the next generation of mobiles (maybe the iPhone will be a booster) and here in France the launch of low cost plans of fast internet mobile access.

Very interesting Cybertonic. And Jeff, as always right on the money. Frankly, I'm getting more than a little irritated with high sales prices and no development. It's really beginning to look like an ipo that's 98.5% hype and blind hope (i.e. without development).

Werd. This is why I don't post much in this forum...you have my exact point of view on .mobi and post for me.

Few days ago we decided to create our first mobi site.
NeedContractor.mobi
(we run the com)

I have to admit that whaoo! all must be rethink and totally recoded for these small devices.
Small screens, all the tags, css and javascript code are not supported.
Some not even allow combo boxes, other not allow dialog boxes, ...
A true pain!
Plus it must works for different type of mobiles having different specs.
And here the site was really basic, mainly simply a request form.

After a day of hassles we did a pause.
Let see if we are more motivated and finish it for the next week.

So I can understand that some companies may be reluctant to do the first step and more when the user demand is still not here.

i would like to see ads sell for big money, but I am not sure I would go to a webiste that I thought would just be loaded with ads.

 

[Quality Names]

ADS=ADVERTISEMENT
ADVERTISEMENT=EVERYTHING

About the no development...there are already huge threads on namepros.com about this subject...

 

[bidawinner]

ads.mobi = $50

 

[Brad|E]

Thanks for the lesson on Ads, Quality. Unfortunately, little to ADVERTISE on poses slightly more than a minor problem for the extension. (Out of curiosity, when was the last time you directed your browser to ads.com? What was your impetus?)

 

[Quality Names]

I've posted this thread after reading the complete list of names available on TRAFFIC for both live and silent auctions, and realizing that the .mobi with the biggest reserve price in the conference was the least talked about.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THAT'S OBVIOUS.
I hope they all do well on Wednesday!
I really like ads.mobi and I believe it could be used wisely on the mobile context, but that's it. My opinion. Pizza.mobi, RealState.mobi, Cam.mobi and Casinos.mobi are all fantastic and I hope they do GREAT!
Of course I can be wrong about ads.mobi, and I might be...but it makes no difference, as long as some of the .mobis breaks the flowers.mobi record and more and more people get to know about the new extention on the news.
