Have you ever been driving down the road, or pulled over on
the side of the road for safety, and used your cell phone or mobile device to
find directions, a phone number or information from a website, but that website
wasn’t compatible with the dimensions of the screen on your phone?
Or
maybe it downloaded slowly and the information was hard to find.
Mobile websites are becoming more in demand and many
businesses may not realize this yet. An article by DM News says,
"The mobile Web presence is to 2008 what the Web
presence was to 1998: an absolutely essential component of the marketing mix.
Mobile media measurement firm M:Metrics, recently acquired by ComScore, states
that mobile browsing has increased 89% year over year, and page views have
increased 127%.
David Berkowitz, director of emerging media and client
strategy at 360i, noted, 'Google ranks mobile optimized sites higher than
non-optimized sites when searching from a mobile browser. [Soon,] not having
any mobile Web presence [could] turn into a competitive disadvantage.'” Entire

If you have a business website, you should consider
purchasing a .mobi domain for your website and develop a text-based mobile
friendly version of your website. This will make your customer’s experience a
good one as they sit looking for information on the side of the road. Plus, it
will help your business rankings on Google.
