My first .mobi - STOCKSEXCHANGE.MOBI

I haven't got into the dot mobi bandwagon and for some reason I want to try registering at least one dot mobi. So here's my first dot mobi

STOCKSEXCHANGE.MOBI

What do you guys think of my first dot mobi purchase?

I don't think it works with the "s". I have never heard of "stocks exchange" just "stock exchange".

Actually when you look at it all together it could be stockSEXCHANGE.mobi :lala:

I though it was STOCK - SEX - CHANGE

aswell lol

Why not?

I guess that's the whole point. Double meaning.
So you are saying my first .mobi is really that bad?

Any other comment?

Don't feel bad, almost all new .mobi regs at this point are really bad

Yeah you really have to be creative at this point. A gentleman just registered wholegrains.mobi a few days back mind you -- might make a decent sale to General Mills with all their marketing of whole grain cereal as being better lately...

There certainly are some names such as that which are still left... But at this point, it's unrealistic to expect to get anything good in most areas which are believed to be the best .mobi sectors (stocks, weather, news, sex, ringtones, music/mp3s,...).

I actually don't feel bad since its my first .mobi. I actually have quite a few good .mobi in my box right now and waiting to be register. Sometimes I read treads about their dot mobi and the feedbacks they get were great and I'm thinking...you got to be kidding me. But I do value everyones opinion.

I'd always put the name in Google with quotes myself to differentiate between the plural and singular if I'm unfamiliar with the particular name and unsure which one (or both) is/are worth registering.

so by comparison of other TLD what is the closest to .mobi in terms of sales? And what industry is the best at this moment?

 

[-REECE-]

Good question! Dotmobi is very hard to characterize in such a way because certain names go/will go for very high amounts because of their relevance to the mobile market.

For general words, I'd peg dotmobi somewhere between .info and .net although this is by no way an accurate measure granted the above.

Something like sex.mobi could conceivably be a very high XXX,XXX -- maybe even 1m to the right person... Hard to say at the present, however I would imagine it has considerably more marketability than the .info and likely the .net

Other names -- such as general terms like "computer software" may do better in other extensions due to the fact that people likely aren't interested in looking for Office and Photoshop deals when they're on their cell phone.

---------

As for markets to look for names in... My best advice would be that Overture is your best friend! I got many good names as late as early March doing such and I'm sure there still are some. Type in any general word that comes to mind and look at what combinations Overture returns.

By typing in some words like cards, for example, I was able to get compactflashcards.mobi -- a type of memory card for cameras, certain cell phones, laptops and pda's. It's alot easier at this point to search this way than trying to think them up on your own.

Best of luck and congratulations on regging your first dotmobi. May there be many more
