You've got a mobile website so how can you be sure that people will find it?

No surprise, mobile viewers are heading to familiar search engines on their mobile browsers as a quick way to find information.  Recently Google announced that mobile website optimization is a key part of its mobile rankings methods.  You can make sure the search engines are categorizing your mobile site and therefore, increasing the ranking of your mobile site, for anyone using search on a mobile web browser.  SEO Friendly URLs are a key strategy to make sure your mobile site will be found!

Google has seen an explosion in mobile search, with an astounding 500% increase over the past two years alone.  Just last Mother’s Day, Mashable reported a whopping 33% of all searches for flowers on Mother’s Day in 2011 were done on mobile devices.  We know these numbers will only increase, so make sure you’re ready well before this mother’s day comes around ;-).

Key to increasing your site traffic is incorporating your mobile keywords strategy into your mobile site URLs.  Setting up SEO-friendly URLs impacts the way your mobile pages are cached in search engines.
