I'm just curious, because while I can see making a porn site have a mobile version (claudia-marie.mobi is getting about 500 to 750 uniques a day), I'm not sure that I personally would want to read a blog on this tiny cell phone screen. What am I missing here?

Tell me more Nicky. What kind of traffic numbers are you seeing? And sales? Are you actually making any sales off of it? Thanks in advance for smartening me up on it.

So far with claudia-marie.mobi I see a lot of our members using it. But I have never seen an actual join from someone while on their phone. My theory is that when somebody is interested in the .mobi tour (a buddy shows it to them on their phone for instance), they then wait until they go home and get on their PC to actually join just because it's more comfortable to do so on a big keyboard and screen.
You are right on some things. Most of the traffic I see is for searches ending with "mobile" or "mobile porn" but one blog get's a couple of 100 uniques a day from google and over 70% is from mobile devices according to analytics. It is making sales, not big sales but you know the drill, grow It big or make 50 just like It.... What is good with the mobile blogs is that they use WP plugins to fit the phones and of course mobile sponsors are to be used.
