.mobi High Ovt Or Few Available Domains?

[grobum]

A question for all you mobi experts out there. When selecting a name is it better to have a high ovt or few available domains ? There are some names that I am looking at that have high ovt but many domains available and some that are the opposite. Which would make the most sense to register and why?

Can you explain what you mean by few available domains?

I think he's referring to the name being taken in many different extensions.

In reply to that... High Overture + Common Sense are better indicators than what extensions it's taken in. It's quite possible that a single person registered the name in 20+ extensions... Doesn't really mean much. And, even if it's taken by different people, overture scores are generally a better indicator as it may be difficult to figure out why some people registered the names they did (i.e. company name, different meaning in another country, alias, ...). The common sense part goes a long way too... Are there people paying to have ads for that keyword? If so, how many people are paying? If nobody is willing to even drop the min bid to advertise a keyword, it's probably best to steer clear unless it's a generic or something you plan on developing.
