.mobi Frank Schilling and mobi

[hullswingerscom]

Frank Schilling says a little about mobi
on his blog

To put this in perspective, the types of names which constitute my theoretical “best 7-12%” of all names registered include all 2 and 3 character names, nearly all 4 letters, any search-term no matter how far down the long-tail. It includes zip codes and popular screen-names, first/last name combos that are popular/less popular, pretty much anything that means anything to anybody and a second or third person. It includes the best .info’s .us names (even .mobi’s)…

Yeah I know who he is..My comment above was sarcasticly meant because he's the guy who says .mobi will never get anywhere and is a waste of time. Great visionary. Here's what he says: Quote" In my opinion these guys are pick and shovel salesmen, selling said picks and shovels in an area with no gold." Unquote.

Well lets hope he's wrong hey! But of course.. you guys are .mobi naysayers arent you?

No, I'm not a naysayers, but I have my doubts about .Mobi and I hold 600 plus .Mobi's. just read this article.

I don't think you can go wrong with a generic in any tld as long as you're willing to put in the work to promote it (advertise the hell out of it) and have a site that genuinely provides the reader with a reason to come back.

Plenty of sites like Facebook - or even Google for that matter aren't the kind of domains that would sell for millions on their own, but look at them now...

In the hands of a budding entrepreneur, choosing a .mobi and reinvesting everything saved into top of the line web design, SEO services, content writers, etc may very well prove to be more effective than spending every single last penny you have on a name alone...

I recently faced this dilemma myself... Spend 100k on a domain name and then have roughly nothing left for the actual business I wanted to develop around it, or buy a cheaper name and reinvest the savings into the business. I opted for the latter.

?? What the ....?

you say "well said" to Reece's post... (about mobi) & then completely contradict yourself by saying you've sold most of your .mobis..

Out of interest; what was the best .mobi name that you recently sold?
