.mobi Please tell me what I'm missing here

[binaryman]

Something I dont quite understand here..please enlighten me. Earlier on I posted the following "Sports" related names as available. Now in my opinion a couple of those names are pretty decent yet no-one has regged any. However often there are posts here where someone has regged some .mobi's and wants people on this forum to give an opinion on those names. In most cases the names are really totally crap and not worth regging. Now here I give away some ,what in my opinion are, pretty decent available names which are related to the .mobi extension and some of them have nice Google results too, yet no-one is interested in regging even one. But tomorrow some clown will have a posting here again in the vein of "please tell me what you think of my latest regs" and there will be some really horrendous name with no application for the mobile internet at all.
I'm sure I must be missing something very essential here.
Regards
Fred

PS!! Maybe while we are on the subject ..can someone explain why the results are different when the two keywords are spelled together as 1 word and seperately as 2 words. Also then, which is the correct method of the two for assessing the google search result?

Found these to be available. Check them out. Some have good potential.(IMO)
Ps. In most cases SPORT gets more Google results then SPORTS.

SportFocus.mobi Results 1 - 10 of about 238,000 for "sportfocus"

...Now here I give away some ,what in my opinion are, pretty decent available names which are related to the .mobi extension and some of them have nice Google results too, yet no-one is interested...

perhaps your answer lies in your query Fred. 'To each his own!' ...even in domaining it seems!

 

[binaryman]

That's not really an answer Hawkeye. Of course to each his own but there are groundrules and there are lines that can be drawn. I want to know what I am missing. So tell me those names are crap and why or tell me they are decent enough as I believe and worth regging.

 

[nombre]

i'll take a shot here, if you take the word sport, you can combine it with other words front and back you can come up with a hundreds and even thousands of combinations

you can go to godaddy and get hundreds of available names that combine sport+***.mobi

there are still too many undeveloped top generics, so unless you have a strong development idea, sport related names are just not worth more than reg fee

as far as google results if you enter "sports" and "book" you get the total number of pages that have both words on them, if you enter "sportsbook" as one word you will get a lot less results

i don't think any of those words you have are really compelling on their own without development, i am a noob so take it with a grain of salt

hope that helps

 

[name idol]

perhaps your answer lies in your query Fred. 'To each his own!' ...even in domaining it seems!

I agree with what hawkeye is saying, and as an additional factor please note that usage of the English word 'sport' is not the same as that of the word sport in the many other languages that have the identically spelled term.

The plural form (sports) is frequently the dominant term :imho:

 

[binaryman]

Hmmm OK yep thanks Nombre..that makes some sense to me yes. Of course there is a limit though to the combinations one can make that still have a strong meaningful sense to them and as such those names in question here could become desirable later on and when and if .mobi takes off in a big way. Still they are a lot stronger then some of the stuff one sees getting registered here lately.

Ps. Nameidol.No actually it seems to be the other way round...the singular in sport more often then not gets more results(google) then the plural.

 

[hawkeye]

But Fred, you are saying they are decent names 'in your opinion'!, yet they didn't get regged, so, in 'someone else's opinion' they weren't worth regging! So what groundrules are there that no one is 'following'? Also the points that nombre points out are very valid.

 

[binaryman]

What I actually mean is that compared to some of the really trashy and non-sensical names that one sees being regged and talked about on this forum lately, these are actually pretty decent as things go and are regged in most of the other mayor and country extensions so stand a better chance of being a profitable reg. Also they have fairly decent Google results.

Well , This is not related to the .mobi extension in any way - But to ALL extensions.

Finding Google results for any word or phrase means very little by itself. In fact - Most times I'd prefer less listings as that is just more Competition you have to beat down to get ranked on the first page.

How many times per day are people actually "searching" for these terms ?

"No data for phrase: sport focus" No one searches for this term at all on Overture or WordTracker ...


Lets say 10 people per day search for "sport focus" just as an example.
Results 1 - 100 of about 118,000 for "Sport focus". << Notice the "quotes" to get an accurate read. http://www.google.com/search?source...rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-36,GGGL:en&q="Sport+focus"


Using this made up example - Out of only 10 people per day even looking for the term , You would have to compete with 118,000 other sites/pages to get the traffic ....

Not very good odds - Wouldn't you say ?


I also agree - The plural form is best "Sports"

 

[binaryman]

Mark that is very interesting..I never thought of it that way. In other words one cannot use the Google results to gauge how often a particular word or phrase is searched for at all. It just gives an indication of how often that phrase or word appears on the internet. Only Overture can only tell you the frequency a word or phrase is searched for.

Ps. Google results do show me that the singular of sport in conjunction with another word gives more results in most cases then the plural.

One random excample:

Results 1 - 10 of about 2,350,000 for "topsport".
Results 1 - 10 of about 16,800 for "topsports".

 

[Mark]

More or less - Yes ....

Overture and Wordtracker aren't perfect either btw , But you have to work with what you have

Overall - I trust Wordtracker more - They don't mix the words up in odd arrangements or leave out plurals (words ending in "S") very much at all.

Binary, I agree with Hawkeye......in your opinion, they are good. I look at them and since I don't see the word "betting" after the word "sport", then my immeadiate conclusion is that they really are worth very little undeveloped.

Basically, in order to get a domain that you can sell right away for profit is either by luck or land rush. Everything after that is by chance or by buying a name from someone else cheap and selling higher or developing.

Sorry .... But I Can't follow you there ???
There are "Gems in the Rough" out there still in any extension for traffic , resell , or Development. It isn't luck if you do research .....

And just because the word "betting" isn't up there means nothing really either.
Cars / Tickets / Scores / Teams etc ..... Get just as much attention. "Betting" is Hot now and may always be .... But it isn't Everyones first thought when searching for Sports.

 

[binaryman]

Showbiz I dont own the domains in question. I merely posted them as being available. I dont say they are very good either but I do say it surprises me that people are regging totally crummy names whilst these names I posted are better then some of those totally crummy names. I would say that sportfocus has a better chance of being developed into a nice .Mobi site then for instance toiletbowl or swimmingpool. I never suggested it be immediately profitable for resale. Sportresults or sportrelated news is after all something that quite a number of people would like to look up on their mobile whilst on the move. Toiletbowls or swimmingpools you might want to look up on your home computer should you need info on those. And not to mention some of the really non-sensical names that some are regging. That's what I meant. Why reg some name that has no relation to mobile use if you can reg sportfocus.mobi? That's what I find so odd. If you are so desperate to reg then at least dont reg some total junk name. And the names I supplied that are available are certainly not in the catagory of "JUNK" They do have some potential as they are all regged in .com, .net, .info,.co.uk,.biz and some country extensions and a few are even regged in almost every tld. If that was a junk name then surely it would not be regged in almost every extension? Not saying it is a brilliant name,just that it is a reasonably decent name.

Hey but guys..thnx for all the replies..gotta log off now as the wife is wanting me to come to bed now pronto rapido. Dont want to piss her off. Plus I gotta get up early tomorrow as I have morning shift.
See ya all laters aligators

Seems how I'm in a .mobi regging mode today as this is the last day of go daddys 2 for $20 special (code: gdm0236d ) and where 98% of my mobi's are regged at, I looked at these names earlier and passed on them.

My first impression was if they were only sport"s", I might have taken a closer look at the numbers. Because of this thread I just did and all of the keyword sports are already regged with the exception of "SportsSpecial" and "SportsFocus" (both available as we'll)

After looking at the OVT on both of these- both showing we'll under 100 for Feb.
I will again pass on these (even with the "s")mainly because I'm (for the most part) only looking for generics with atleast 10,000 (plus)

Competition for Sport"s" related sites are competitive enough especially with little or no natural search results to go along with them.

On your comment regarding non mobile related regg's viewed as "Junk" such as swimmingpool, we'll I'm not sure about that one and would personally take my chances and register it if it was available.
I would much rather register a name showing over a 136,000 searches done last month versus one that shows only 30.

just my 2 cents worth in what I'm looking for.

 

[cyberken13]

I would agree that the plural form of sports is the more prevalent version. Even though the singular can appear in more results the plural is more often used. I actually picked up SportsEvent.mobi a few months back along with several others. Just a few days ago I acquired SpectatorSports.mobi (58k OVT).

I would also agree with Binary in that it is amazing what some people pick up that they think is good and what they end up leaving behind.

I agree that if these listed names were plural form they would be much better. I regged adventuresports.mobi, but the singular version would most likely be worthless.

I do see a bunch of crap being regged as well. Heck, I probabley regged some myself :hehe: .

[SimpleDomaining]

in my opinion, if you are giving away available GOOD names, its mean that they are NOT that GOOD, because if they would be GOOD, why would you give them away? This is business where everybody plays for himself, am i wrong?
