Today, a cell phone isn't just a rich man's fashion accessory in India. It's transforming the
way millions of people do business in a country where even landlines were a luxury barely a
decade ago. Across the country people with low incomes are now adopting cellular phones as
tools for enhancing their business. This leads to the Mobile SEO commonly known as Mobile
SearchEngine Optimization.
According to a survey there are 87 % internet users in mobile and they use Google at
least five times a day which is a very good approach for the Optimizers. There was a time
before Google when Excite, Yahoo, & AltaVista were competitors in Search Engines. Today's
world is the same stage like AltaVista to Google; this is the time where Mobile Search Engine
Optimization will blow our minds by establishing the mobile web. But there are few problems in
making a stable SEO which are as follows:
1. Lack of Definite Platform:
Firstly, our users accessing web use small keypad, mainly one hand or perhaps they
can use a stylus. Many of them use predictive text capabilities in their mobiles. So this
always tends to make a difference in the patience thresholds of user usability & there
searching ability in our marketing efforts.
2. Lack of Hardware Standards:
Since mobile phones are different from PC's in a vast sense. So we have to optimize our
searches according to our user's platform.
3. Software Variation:
As comparison to PC we use Internet Explorer, Opera, Mozilla or Safari but in the mobile
there are various softwares like S60 Browser has a vast difference than the iPhone
browser which makes differences in Indexing.
4. Results Variation:
Since when we google from our desktop we get at least 10 links from google containing
our search string ("constraint") but in the mobile when we search we get about 4-5
results which is quite difficult for optimizers to index their sites.
Generally, Google Mobile, AOL, Windows Live and others use Transcoding
software in order to give their user a more uniform user experience. Practically this means that they present their mobile site according to their user's mobile standards
which makes work smooth. In mobile people need a decent look and feel with
appropriate information so they don't have to user their keypad more and it will
automatically increase the interest of user in that site. The use of dotMobi domain is
good for a Mobile SEO because it creates a effect on the user about the compactness
of the site and the information in it so use dotMobi as domain whenever possible for a
better Mobile SEO.
