.mobi How much OVT for $ 2000, for $ 5000 $, for $ 20000 ?

[jacpar]

From your experience, how much OVT a dot mobi needs to reach a selling price of $2k, $5k, $20k ?

 

[-REECE-]

To give you an example... I purchased antioxidants.mobi for $1000USD ($1063 including escrow fees). It has an average overture (average over several months) in the 20,000-30,000 range.

To get $2,000 for a dotmobi, I would imagine you would need at least that kind of overture, preferably in a word, unlike antioxidants, in which all searches (as in 90%+) take place in the singular or plural form rather than a 65/35 split like antioxidants.

As for $5,000+ -- only extremely good words will yield these kind of results at this time. If you look at the thread in the dotmobi forum about all the sales to date, you'll see that only key words like hotels, loans, ringtones, ... and their language variants, are fetching these kind of prices.

$10,000+... Well, pretty much all of these are reserved by mtld. There's not many names that aren't reserved -- or recently sold in auctions -- that will fetch those kinds of prices.

Hope this helps! And best of luck with all your dotmobis

To a large degree, past PC OVT search count is irrelevant ... for a future Mobile Web, IMHO. The numbers can be considered, of course ... but I don't think your question (Selling prices) can be answered solely based on this criteria! :gl:

Good Luck.

Names unrelated to the 'mobile web', yet with high OVT + Wordtracker scores, do indeed have value... But yes, if names are explicitly mobile (i.e. cellphones.mobi, ringtones.mobi, ...), they may have considerably more value than OVT would suggest.

Perhaps you should elaborate on your question... Were you interested in wondering what your names were worth, or how much you should pay for names with particular OVT scores?

Your collection is nice, but none of your names would be much over $1,000 in value at the moment -- the only ones around there would be the NNN.mobi and admission.mobi.

Merci beaucoup, Reece and Jeff, thank you for your responses.

i purchased background-check.mobi for reg fee

it has an ovt of over 100,000 (yes, i know it has a hyphen and it also long)

i agree with jeff that we will be generating a whole new "mobile ovt" as we go along and the old ovt rules don't apply in the same way

I disagree. I firmly believe the mobile web will merely become a recreation of the web, as we know it today. Yes, certain things like ringtones, will undeniably get search 10-fold more than they do on desktops -- but I believe someday there will be a place for everything... From antimatter to zoology... If it's what you're interested in, why wouldn't you look it up on your mobile?

Some words may be more valuable... But I will laugh at those who pass up on quality words (OVT/Wordtracker) merely because of their seemingly uselessness on the mobile web.

:bingo: Why do people think just because it is the mobile web that it will be limited in any way? It doesnt make sense to me. It is a no brainer to me, everything accessed via the pc will be accessed via mobile.

In the future we will sit around and talk about the time we used to access the web from that big, bulky pc. Our nature is to move forward with better technology and the mobile web is just one of those things we cannot deny.

Keith, I not agree here.

You can not work on mobile phones, using any professional software, e.g.: autocad, photoshop, programming, editing video, etc etc etc

mobiles are fun + email + social networking. not more then that. maybe some applications for business, but not as a main function.

Yes you are correct. I was referring to recreation not work. I do believe business to some degree will be handled via mobile. Keep in mind how quick technology advances. There could be a place in time where the majority of biz is handled on the go, not from some stuffy cubicle. Either way, mobile internet is coming fast!

I disagree with that. Why can't I search for, and buy a dishwasher with my mobile phone ? Look up a recipe ...and check the shoppinglist while shopping ...

4 to 1

Are we reaching the point where, since 4 to 1 mobile phones to pc's at this moment, Overture will be 4X what we are seeing today for the mobile web?

..of course, once those phones have internet, etc.

Does that mean, with 4 times more traffic circulation, even the highest values of the best .com domains today can be proportionally eclipsed?

Now, all domain extension can receive a boost in traffic from the mobile internet revolution - it just seems that Dot Mobi will be First.

That means we need to hold our best dot mobis with this in mind; that, their value is currently only rising faster from here..

Aftermarket is a hot plate

:D

things that need to be remembered, is that mobile search terms will be different from pc search terms. certain terms will be totally irrelevant when it comes to web searching on your mobile, while things like weather, and local interest might have bigger search results.

let me chime in again with one of my favorite themes: screen size

much of what people will do on the mobile-web will depend on how big their screen is ....it could be a tiny 1.5 x 2 inch flip phone or it could be a newer mini-full sized pc with a 5" diagonal screen

the larger the screen is, the closer the mobile web will resemble the large-screen/fixed web ...the smaller the screen is, the more it will _not_ resemble it

people will be very unlikely to anything like a lengthy search on a flip phone for a background check, medical billing software, or ordering new hardwood floors ...they might be more willing to do such things on a mini-pc 5" phone ....but here's the problem ..... they might not feel the need of mobi to do those searches, they might just go back to their dot coms and dot nets

if mobi is well established then mobi will be part of that dot com / dot net mix, .... if not ....well ..... ??

i feel very strongly that mobi is designed for and will flourish on ...small screens

that will determine ultimately what mobi names win and what lose :imho:

If the masses have mobile internet, they will be searching for everything they do on a PC. If Joe Smith likes beer, why wouldn't he search for beer on his mobile? As long as the screen is big enough to show that bottle, he will.

I think searches on mobile will be similar to PC eventually. It might start off as just weather, news, etc but then it will change. Once WiFi becomes standard on phones much more people will start to use the internet on their phones since it will be basically no monthly fee. There are a lot of people in the world who own a cellphone but do not own a PC so they would probably search for everything. Certain categories might have different OVT results in the future for PCs and phones. I think localized content will be searched for much much more on a mobile than a computer. Localized sites might end up being the biggest thing on the mobile web.

PC's started off with banks, techies, and nerds. Looks like the mobile internet is starting off the same, but it won't end that way.
