Mobile sites... 2010’s Flavor of the Year

So what is boosting another wave of interest in mobile sites? How about the even-greater-than expected glut of iPhone 4 orders this month? Every few months it seems there is another hardware release that boosts the importance of making a good presentation on mobile devices.

This week, Jack Peterson, MD got his mobile site. Click it on your mobile device to see the difference in format between mobile devices and what appears on your desktop or laptop computer.

With millions of new units flooding the market this year, we have seen a steady upward trend in traffic. Most of our SEO clients (who we measure their mobile use as a metric) have climbed up to 5% use and many are over that. The 5% use mark is where we recommend adding a starter mobile site. We have seen no cases of regression where the use number dips back below 5% and all trends are pointing upward.

This is the reason we have been running our starter mobile site special for two months. We are in the last days of the special which ends on Friday, June 25, 2010. For that special, you get additional pages added to your 7-page starter mobile site at no additional charge. The total cost to get this base covered is $1000 for a starter mobile site. The time really is now which is why we put the special in place. Many have taken advantage of the special and we hope many more will before Friday.
