admaster, can you give a heads up on the number thing ?
i assume these numbers are spelling things out, like one guy has numbers which equal google if you spell them out
so how are you going to market this stuff?
the google guy can't advertise his mobi site as "just type in google.mobi and you'll get me" can he?
i'm lost here
Well,
For example, to visit Google, you will type the following letters:
G O O G L E
G H I are grouped with the number 4 in keypad. So we can assume 4 for G/H/I
Similarly, M N
O are grouped with the number 6, J K
L are grouped with the number 5, and D
E F are grouped with the number 3.
From the above combination, we can use
4 6 6 4 5 3 as
G o o g l e
Actually you have to press
466453 to get the word google on your screen.
Don't confuse this name with google.mobi. Google.mobi is entirely different from 466453.mobi. 466453 virtually denotes the letters G O O G L E, thats all.
Disadvantages:
1. Lack of keyword popularity.
Advertisers mainly look for keyword popularities. Advertisers will love to display their ads in loan.mobi than 5626.mobi.
2. Very hard to remember.
It is very hard for the end-users to remember very long numerical domain names. It will be difficult for them to remember
NNNNNNNNNNNNN.mobi
3. PR Problems.
Domain names will also be a part of PR, and hence numeric domain names will affect the page rank of the domain name.
Hope this would help.
