.mobi Currently:2,400,000 for site:.mobi | Can they all be policed feasibly for compliance?

.Mobi's success depends on what becomes popular in the mainstream

I felt this was my gauge for .mobi domainer success since day 1

People can argue the techie issues all they want..

No one knows the future..

Also, people have said as their point that Dot Mobi will be successful because it guarantees a user experience that can be seen on the lowest end phones (which are what the masses have or will have)

However, I do a site:.mobi and see

Results 1 - 100 of about 2,400,000 for site:.mobi

That's alot of sites to police for compliance, do you think this can be done feasibly? All those languages/countries?

What do you think?

Can domaining ever be restricted as far as website style/development?

I raise this all just for us to get faster in thought..

To me, the strength of dot mobi comes from the gel of its business consortium who produces the phones, frankly.. and lift up humanity with fair access to internet..

Yes, domain names is not where they profit, so why do they care about .mobi?

Because what else bridges microsoft and google and samsung on a glue platform? It's all about the center point.. for networking..

Mobile phones' traffic will be the new world currency.. someday, PPC, as the mobile phone more and more becomes one's survival aid..

So, back to square one - the business consortium is like the NBA Dream Team.. and frankly, future marketing prowress is not immune to the top of the corporate pyramid's reach - just hasn't been exhibited..

What will happen "Tomorrow"? I have no idea.. and I guess I am not really that concerned about that in my life at this time.. I just wanted to raise some points for our discussion, here..

.Mobi's success depends on what becomes popular in the mainstream

How come that I never understand your posts?

How come that you always said you need go and I don`t even know where?

How come that you always come back with another post that I again don`t understand?

The mTLD will not police for compliance as they claimed in the early stage, just as the microsoft in the early days said strongly about fighting the piracy, but they never did that.

MS actually encouraged the piracy implicitly to gain market share. When MS comes the dominant, they start to fight the piracy vigorously.

Those results are for PAGES not sites.
There are currently about 600,000 .mobi domains registered.

We will have to wait and see how the compliance policy will be implemented. If my understanding that only the home page is the one that requires mobile compliance (to guarantee a satisfactory entry experience to a mobile content site) is accurate, then I'd imagine that MTLD could set up a program to go out and periodically scan the index page of all the .mobi names to test what "ready.mobi" does for individual site submissions. Others here who have the technical knowledge could better explain or speculate how such scanning could be accomplished.

Of course I realize and agree that more than just the home page should be mobile-accessible for the best user experience. I am just theorizing how it it would be possible to implement compliance checks.

It seems likely that they would simply have an automated process, a spider of sorts, that crawls all the registered .mobis continuously checking the compliance to standards. I don't envision a couple of staff people attempting to do this manually...

Agreed, and that's precisely why the "trustmark" issue is highly debatable, IMHO.
We don't know what the future holds, of course ... but, today, BiG Daddy of them all, Flowers.mobi, is still a "It will definitely display very poorly on a mobile phone!" ((1 = Bad) at Ready.mobi) and the poster child for what NOT to do with a .MOBI (and especially after it selling for $XXX,xxx), IMHO.
Just my two sense.

and what's weird is i just checked this and it was over 2,700,000 a couple days ago ... i wonder why it fluctuates so?

Those are PAGES (including indexed "parked" PAGES) ... and not all actual developed websites, IMHO. :gl:
Perhaps mTLD or others have a bot that continuously submits pages, even undeveloped / parked ones as well? :blink:

I was under the same impression that it would be carried out in such a fashion. Wouldn't be very hard to construct such a program which sends out emails to everyone who's .mobi index page scores < 3.0 in example.

Ah yes, the nefarious mTLD bot is at it once again! Will these sinister masterminds stop at nothing?

Some content may be added to Google and later found to be redundant. Google is starting to actively police their cotent, making sure that it really is content, and not merely garbage copied from Wikipedia.

There's a growing trend among black hats to copy pages from sites like Wikipedia, which are often loaded with relevant keywords and then attempt to profit off these plagiarized sites. In example, if you visit Wikipedia's antioxidant section, it definitely says the word antioxidant at least 20 times (and is never used inappropriately to add up the keyword count).

A black hat seo trick would be to copy the content available in Wikipedia's antioxidant section, all sections derived from the antioxidant section (flavonoids, vitamins, in example), and then copy all the sections which could be derived from these sections (Vitamin A,B,C,D,E, etc + quercetin, epicatechin, tangeritin, naringenin, resveratrol, pterostilbene, etc).

Soon, you have a site with a good 1000+ pages of content, constructed in a matter of minutes which seems professional to Google (mainly due to it's size and use of keywords).

Granted search engines do not appear to be penalizing the .mobi gtld (based on my experience, at least), it looks like it is a perfect target for adsense arbitrage and black hat seo, granted good domain names (relevant to the subject that will be displayed on them are still affordable).

Hey, I didn't mean that in the way that you took it ... at all! :imho:
Was just trying to address the question of the 300,000 or so additional indexed PAGES in such a relatively short time-frame (see above), but no worries. Google results also vary by location, as well! :gl:
Onward and upward ...

why not

Sometimes I don't know if I can do better by surrendering the English language, we'll see..

TodaY I woke up from a Dream saying I can EAT "greens"-like salad

Fasting lately from the psyche meds that make me too sleepy, in particular, of recent.

Loved that posts about pointing the dotmobis to one centerpoint domain..

Ha Ha

Just that I haven't been doing so well lately.. with hopes of financial-security live/move on to have as many children as I can while I can, Why I was asked today.. by a nun/family member with one foot in living room and one foot in kitchen.. I paused and paused and said nothing, then maybe I said like because "I don't know", and so I kinda wanna know, why like dat..

Who knows
