Retire Young and Wealthy

It has only been months since the mobi extension has become available that there has been some fairly decent sales recorded.

According to Dnjournal FreeRingtones.mobi was sold for $9,100, MyBank.mobi for $7,110, Call.mobi for $8,200 and Mortgages.mobi for $10,500.

I think it shows that domainers are treating mobie extensions like any other. Mobile sites have been pretty big business in Japan the past few years and other countries are just starting to catch up.

Hybrid PDA/phone/entertainment devices are becoming increasingly popular, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that mobi has fantastic potential. I am presuming that search engines will rank sites higher that have been designed for viewing on a mobile device. Since mobi sites have to comply with certain rules, it is one way to ensure that a .mobi site has been created specifically for a mobile device.
