Per mkrongel- Its an inbetween page from the search engine to the offer, it should be designed to help the offer convert for you.
Don't bother. I doubt they will be worth anythign being a .net.
.mobi is essentially worthless. Pass on them.
I'm not sure about DNForum, I rarely visit there, but NamePros is usually pretty decent. Usually, I just lurk and learn.
Okay, here's my take on .com, .net, .info, etc. Disclaimer: as with most, if not all things, there are varying opinions so valuations can be all over the board.
Obviously the .com of anything is the best choice if you are looking for just the value of the domain. .NET, .ORG's have lost a lot of their value lately with the influx of all the new TLD's, ie. .mobi, and the international domains.
Age plays a big factor also. I sold a .cc domain recently for $xxx because it was 4 years old with old backlinks and was still indexed. Normally a .cc is not going to get you much more that the reg fee (registration fee), but this was an exception. Also, I've sold .com's recently that were simple one word domains and only got $xx for them because they had no age to them.
.MOBI's are very speculative right now, because they are a new TLD. A lot of people aren't willing to spend $20+ dollars per year for a .MOBI when they could be worthless if the TLD isn't embraced by webmasters and / or the mobile industry. Some people are buying and selling the shit out of them.
So, back to your original question: is the .net and .info worth anything? In this case, I hate to say it, but probably not as JUST a domain name. If you develop a travel site around them and get some links...All things being equal, the .com will probably fetch 3-4 times the .net and the .info will have a hard time getting more than the reg fee.
Hope that helps.

Sorry. I'm just irritable today. Not really his fault, but he got the brunt of it. Still I meant everything I said.
