Mobile version AS A WAY to preserve and increase INCOME

Why is mobile version of the site?

Then, that more and more people prefer to go to the sites through mobile phones and smartphones. And if you lose these people, you are depriving your website development and self - income.

If you go to the statistics of your site and see by what operating systems (OS) visitors to your site, you may notice that over the last year, the share of visitors with operating systems for mobiles and smartphones (Symbian OS, Android, iOS iPad, iOS iPhone) increased.

From my statistics (liveinternet.ru) shows that the fraction entering the site from mobile devices in May 2011 increased from 1.2%:

to 3.7% in February 2012 (3 times!)

If it goes on like this, very soon go to the sites through mobile phones will be up to  half of the visitors . Despite the fact that reading the usual site via a mobile phone is very inconvenient.

And it's understandable. Try to push the encyclopedia in your pocket. That's how the attempt to view non-optimized websites through mobile phones (regular poster "Home Based Business" via a smartphone)

Almost nothing is visible (very small), but nothing of navigation and can not speak - it is daunting.

What kind of advertising revenue (or anything else)?

Therefore, if you do not take care of creating a mobile version of the site, you can lose potential visitors and has won earnings.

What are the mobile versions of websites?

1.  Mobile version can be incorporated in the basic version of the site. Software such a site can determine which device people visited the site, and immediately forward it to the correct version of the site - or mobile. Too expensive to develop (if ordered part of the artist).

2.  separate mobile site. It's just a simple look of the site. With a minimum of graphics, more user-friendly navigation.  Usually mobile site slid under m.imya_domena.zona location or imya_domena.zona / mobile /, imya_domena.zona / pda / - as you like.Although often I meet the first variant (with subdomain m).

3.  Mobile site made ​​on the service side. There are services (I have met so far only foreign), which is loaded in the appearance of an existing site, from its individual parts combined site more readable form, so it built a new, mobile version, and your visitors get to it by redirection. These services are mostly paid (and if free, then any load) - DudaMobile.com (Free and paid versions)Moably.com (Free and paid versions) Mobstac.com (Paid, with one month of free use) XtGem.com (Free service) Mob.is.it (Paid, with the possibility of free testing for 21 days).

See for yourself which option is more suitable to you.
