			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://admob.com" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4660" style="margin-right: 9px;" title="AdMob" src="http://premiumdomains.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ad_mob.gif" alt="AdMob" width="100" height="31" />AdMob</a></strong> is a top advertising platform for the mobile internet and <em>Google</em> is buying them for <strong>$750 million</strong>. The acquisition will provide <em>Google</em> with an immediate 30-40% of mobile advertising market share as stated in this <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&amp;sid=aYsX.LrBx5Tc" target="_blank">Bloomberg article</a> on the forthcoming purchase.</p>
<p>Many of the proposed ads will be delivered inside of iPhone apps available to mobile users. Typically in the form of a banner located at the bottom of the app or page. Ads will also be embedded in search results for popular products searched online.</p>
<p>Obviously fueling Google&#8217;s move is the incredible growth in mobile internet. CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, is quoted as saying &#8230;</p>
<blockquote>
<h3><span style="color: #008000;">Our mobile revenue is growing faster than our regular revenue</span></h3>
</blockquote>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://admob.com" target="_blank">AdMob</a></strong> acquisition is Google&#8217;s largest since the buyout of YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006. Google is also hiring again in preparation for their expansion into mobile internet advertising.</p>
<p>For more information, read this <a href="http://www.admob.com/google" target="_blank">open letter</a> to the public by Omar Hamoui, Founder and CEO of AdMob. Interesting in Omar&#8217;s comments is his statement about how slowly mobile advertising initially proceeded. He attributes rapid growth to the introduction of the iPhone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4101" style="margin-right: 4px;" title="September Domain Happenings" src="http://premiumdomains.biz/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pair.jpg" alt="September Domain Happenings" width="200" height="135" />1. <strong>Casino.mobi</strong> &#8211; is purchased by Infomeda Ltd. for $135,000 in a sale that was handled by <a href="http://moniker.com" target="_blank">Moniker</a>. Infomeda will use the site as an online gaming portal.</p>
<p>2. <strong>O.biz</strong> &#8211; is awarded by the Neustar registry to online retailer, <a href="http://overstock.com" target="_blank">Overstock.com</a>, after they successfully applyed via the RFP process. <em>Overstock</em> will use <strong>O.biz</strong> as a website dedicated to selling bulk merchandise to businesses and customers.</p>
<p>3. <strong>USPS.mobi</strong> &#8211; is awarded to the United States Postal Service in a UDRP decided by the <a href="http://domains.adrforum.com/" target="_blank">National Arbitration Forum</a>.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Hotel-Reservation.com</strong> &#8211; was sold for approximately $208,000 USD in a deal that was brokered by <em>Sedo</em>. A substantial sum for a hyphenated domain name which demonstrates just how lucrative the online hotel booking market is.</p>
<p>5. The parent company of BuyDomains, <em><a href="http://namemedia.com" target="_blank">NameMedia</a></em>, won in their defense of a UDRP filed on the domain name &#8220;lincs.com&#8221;. Not only did NameMedia win the case, but the NAF arbitration panelist (Carol Stoner, Esq.) found <em>SpinSix</em> guilty of reverse domain name hijacking. Shameful. <strong><em><span style="color: #008000;">Reverse Domain Name Hijacking</span></em></strong> is a brand of dishonor for any company trying to &#8221;steal&#8221; domain names to which they are obviously not entitled. Kudos to panelist, Carol Stoner, for making a keen assessment &amp; judgement in this case.</p>
<p>6. <strong>.BIZ</strong> one character domains will be auctioned off and awarded to high bidders via <em>Sedo</em> from September 23 &#8211; 30. This marks the first time in history that a generic top level domain has released its single character names.</p>
<p>7. <a href="http://dnjournal.com" target="_blank">DNJournal</a> reported the sale of <strong>Christian.com</strong> for $600,000 USD.</p>
<p>8. <strong>Call.com</strong> was purchased for $1.1 million USD by a Boris Kreiman as reported by <a href="http://domainnamewire.com/2009/09/03/exclusive-the-future-of-call-com/" target="_blank">DomainNameWire</a>.</p>
