Essential tips for making your mobile site work better, from Yankee Group
Submitted by Editors Desk on 21 September, 2009 - 14:13.
There are some valuable lessons to be learned from Yankee Group’s most recent assessment of the top US (mostly) mobile sites. Of the 26 news, search, sports (among the more popular categories for mobile surfing – see stats below) and carrier sites evaluated, it’s surprising to see only Google, Yahoo and Major League Baseball receiving a pass grade of 70+ out of 100, while Yankee found that many otherwise respected sites still show room for improvement.

Discovery: on-deck or off?
Submitted by Claire OGorman on 2 July, 2008 - 23:00.
For mobile content players, discovery is the big challenge. How do you get people to experience your .mobi for the first time?
Do you get your content on to the operator’s portals (‘on deck’)? Do you go direct, and help people to find and enter your URL on their own (‘off deck’)? A combination of both?
An informal survey among the mobirati indicates that the US market is about 30% off-deck and 70% on-deck while the European market is the reverse. Any thoughts about why this should be the case are welcome.
