.mobi .MOBI winning prefixes and suffixes

[SiGuy]

As with .COM - prefixes and suffixes used in a domain name can / won't make a domain valuable.

e.g.
travel.com
etravel.com
e-travel.com
itravel.com
4travel.com
travel2.com

Which prefixes and suffixes do you think will be the winners with .MOBI and what percentage of generic name value do you predict they will be worth.

e.g.

travel.mobi
etravel.mobi
e-travel.mobi
itravel.mobi
4travel.mobi
travel2.mobi

"i" seems to be fairly popular with mobis right now, as many corps are snappin up names with i"whatever" .. as for "e-" I highly doubt they will be popular, but I have seen 2 sell so far.

My eSupport.mobi is in auction right now at sedo. "i" names have been pretty popular lately because of the Samsung business.

Hi SiGuy,

I guess I throw in my 2 cents since I own: Travel2.mobi

I am a newbie who got into Mobi domaining by accident while looking for a domain name for my business. With my business I had to settle for a dotName or better dotLame TLD. During my domain hunt I kept seeing that strange new dotMobi and did a little research on the subject. I thought it was a good idea and decided to buy a few.

As I remember Travel2.mobi was my first reg and I still hope the best to capitalize upon. Why I thought of travel2 was because I had seen it all over the web since I started browsing back around 1998. Travel2 seemed to fair well in a Google exact term search and had active sites on most of the TDLs.

Yep, the number sucks, especially on a old mobi device keypad. Still Travel2 is one of the better runners-up to the king "travel". I hope many of the second place travel companies might want my second place travel domain. lol

travel.mobi
etravel.mobi
e-travel.mobi
itravel.mobi
4travel.mobi
travel2.mobi

I think in order from looking at google and personal opinion it's:

1. Travel - Results 1 - 100 of about 731,000,000 for "travel"
2. eTravel - Results 1 - 100 of about 1,360,000 for "etravel".
3. Travel2 - Results 1 - 100 of about 666,000 for "travel2".
4. iTravel - Results 1 - 100 of about 663,000 for "itravel".
5. 4Travel - Results 1 - 100 of about 4,410,000 for "4travel".
6. e-Travel - Results 1 - 100 of about 595,000 for "e-travel".

I place "4Travel" at 5th place because something is not correct with those amazing numbers on the search. Also starting with a number is considered the worse way to incorporate numbers into a address. Also I think soon iTravel will overtake Travel2 with the " i " craze.

They are all good Travel addresses for the losers of Travel.mobi to buy. That is if dot-mobi takes-off.

EDITED IN:

I forgot to LeapFish the dot-mobi domains as dotcoms.

Travel.com - Leapfished
eTravel.com - LeapFished
Travel2.com - LeapFished
iTravel.com - LeapFished
4Travel.com - LeapFished
e-Travel.com - LeapFished Not bad!
4Travel.jp - LeapFished Lots of web presence! Likely not worth that much.

I would go with "m" personally. It's always stood for mobile and it's a first character keystroke. It's not easy on the eyes though unless it's a .com, but one will get used to it.

I have names with 'i', 'e', and 'm', but I don't think I will go with 'e-'. I might try a few 'v' as there seems to be a bustle in the land of VR development.

WOW Man,

Check-out Travel2.TV it's a real website! Can't understand it though.
Travel2 is a fairly active name in most all the TLDs which gives hope.

It's for sale:Travel2.mobi :gn:
