A few more for me...

Overall, slowing WAY DOWN on the mobi front.

But a few I regged in the past few days/weeks:

metroDC.mobi
metroNYC.mobi
metroLA.mobi

WasIstLos.mobi
(Ger: What's Happening, What's Up, SUP! Regged in .net and .mobi. Love it!)

Palm-Island.mobi
Wild-Wadi.mobi
(these are two huge Dubai projects. All my Dubai related domains are getting great traffic in every extension including .mobi. I am also very happy to see my Arabic words and terms recieve good traffic in August and continues into September already. Possibly a sign of good things...or curious onlookers)

nexxx.mobi
nexxxx.mobi

nexxxx.com is month after month my highest traffic domain and always in the top 3 for revenue as a parked domain. It has been this way for years. It was chosen as a Linux/gnu related project. Little did I know that it was getting a ton of traffic but no clicks with those keywords. It appears that every one was looking for nexxx.com...a massive adult portal (not mine).

I reset my keywords and the rest is, as the say, history.

So, if they are that successful as adult portals on a PC and the adult industry is really embracing .mobi (sex sells) then I might as well get into the fray.

Hi Gerry, I'm kicking myself for not even checking to see if WasIstLos.mobi was available months ago. I thought with such a common phrase it would have been taken much earlier. Just goes to show it doesn't hurt to check.

Regaaards,

Gerry, how is it that you've come to know so much about that part of the world? You seem to have the pulse on Dubai.

Gerry, how is it that you've come to know so much about that part of the world? You seem to have the pulse on Dubai.Read sometimes for the sake of reading, other times out of boredom.

In this case, working with a developer on a project from Dubai quite a while back got me even more interested in this region, the United Arab Emirates in general.

I actually got into the Dubai game rather late as many of the choice dot com domains were trading for huge sums of money, typical minimum was 5 figures.

The entire nation is swimming in money and has gone building crazy. World's tallest buildings, hotels, one after another. Simply fascinating and remarkable structures. Not to mention building islands in the lagoon.

Then there's this guy named Dick Cheney who used to be CEO of this company called Haliburton. Anyways, they came up with a great idea of raping the American taxpayers by awarded most contracts to Haliburton and numerous owned subsidies in a "no bid" format for the rebuilding (won't that be a perpetual project) of Iraq and supplying the troops.

They figured that they really, really, really did not want to pay any corporate or federal taxes on the billions of dollars they were making so they decided to move their world headquarters to Dubai.
