.mobi More people know about Mobi than we realize

Dudes, before the ad campaigns start & it trickles down to public mass knowledge (mobis..lol)
i am finding more & more smaller businesses are planning for their use.
Here's an example. A bar in san antonio. Now, once their site is live & the word gets around, a lot of other bars will follow suit.
Here is a GREAT advert on their main site advertising their forthcoming mobi site.
They are obviously building the site.
I checked & the mobi was regged at godaddy by them.

The beauty is, these sorts of bars hand out thousands of flyers to youngsters every night with drinks offers etc. If the .mobi website is printed on that it can only help people to think about experimenting with otherwords.mobi :bingo:

newton, this is helpful and leads to some observations

i used to have a palm which i wanted to access the web with but since i couldn't get what i wanted i strayed off into non-mobile sites and got a lousy experience so i sold the palm. i remembered that experience well which i am such a strong mobi believer

second, the palm screen and the phone screen are really 2 different spaces, i know that you can get a LOT more on a palm screen than on a nokia for example

so it's interesting to see how this will shake out

but your point is good, those sites you recommend should all look as good as mobi's on palm, phone or whatever small device

You are most welcome ..

The links above took about 2 minutes to find on google, so they are out there and in abundance.

The main thing is to develop the sites, even simple static sites that have links to the rest of your mobile sites .. say 2 links reserved for your other .mobi domain names on each and every site you develop, which would create a nice big catchment area amongst your domains for the surfer, then all you need is advertising from admob.com.

This way you have sites up and running, linked through to sites like the ones listed in the links above for example, garnering traffic.

Good luck

Hi Chaps,
i just started tapping in a few random .mobis & its surprising how many sites are out there.
First one i pulled out my head was:
www.seagull.mobi

Then i tried www.gull.mobi
Best thing about gull.mobi is goes through to a .com site & they're actively advertising visitnorway.mobi :blink:
that sites not built yet, but i suppose for many companies it takes months to get round to building sites. I'm gonna have a real good trawl round
