.mobi How to Market .mobi domains and sites?

[vcool]

Now that we have got a few good .mobi's and some of them already devloped, the next question is how do you go about marketing your site or domain.

It's one thing to have a great site or a domain, but another to market it. How do you let people know about your site?. We do not have a big marketing budget like businessweek.mobi , who are advetising full page ads in magazines. In general, there is now some interest in .mobi's with flowers.mobi going for 200k, but how do you generate awerness about your domains or sites?. Any insight?.

Google has started adwords for mobile sites. Has anyone used it yet?

Maybe this question belong to some other catogery, but I posted it here as it's about .mobi's which is a new tld and still lot of people do not know about it.

Hello,
I think just like all the other domains. Add to search engines, maybe add it to google when someones searches ".mobi". The main thing is, we need more developed .mobi sites and not just park them.
I get a lot of people trying to add parked .mobi names to my site and I bet you have the same problem with dir.mobi. If their is no information on a .mobi site, then people will never go and use them.
Also, dir.mobi looks really nice and goodluck with it.

Hi Smash,

Thanks for your comments. The problem with just adding to search sites like google is that your site may not be in the top 10 or 20 then you may not get enough visitors. Your site may show-up in 100 place then it is of no use.

The question is , Are there any strategies for coming in top 10? are there any other sources which might help a mobile user to find our sites?. I had developed .com sites in the past but was not able to get enough traffic even when I submitted to all big search engines. I even tried Adwords for some time , still not too happy with the results. And since .mobi is still relatively new compared to .mobi, and not many people know about it, it might be little difficult.

Btw, Your seeks.mobi also looks cool.

I thought Adwords would/might work well for .mobi's. I still feel the best way is word of mouth. The more that know about it the more it will work. Also when the big companies start using and advertising their .mobi's that will really help.

Just waiting for admob.com to get back to me as I am interested to see how they perform on the mobile sites and need some questions answered from them first. It looks promising though.

Currently everyone bought up all these mobile sites. But nobody is developing. Which is not good. Means that they are all looking to make money off them. Which means there is no sense in even having a mobi ending, if people don't have a reason to use .mobi they won't.

I got a few cell phone game domains and I am developing them and putting games on them. How I will market them. Probably flyers, or ads on popular mobile ringtone sites.

Or advertising on popular mobile forums that discuss cellphones exclusively like howard forums.

Good luck,
