Can .mobi domains be used, optimized (seo'd) just like .coms?

Question

I'm considering purchasing some .mobi domains, I just want to know if I build a site on a .mobi, is it the same thing as a .com as far as structure, optimization, etc...

I know they are for mobile devices, but are they just as compatible on PC's, Macs, desktops, etc...?

Answer 1

no difference at all and u can submit it to google and optimize it.  Trust me i optimized a co.cc site and a co.nr site.  your fine

Answer 2

Any site can be well optimized, and keyword rich domains also tend to rank better.

Right now, there is a very strong exact match domain name bonus in Google. If you're targeting searches for "product x", then productx.mobi will automatically receive a boost.

For .com, .org, .net, .gov, and .edu, the boost is stronger, but it will still work on other domain extensions.
