How is a mobile web site different?

Mobile websites exploit the special characteristics of mobile phones and mobile users to provide the best possible experience. Besides adapting to the smaller screen of a mobile phone, they are also easier to navigate using touch and provide more direct access to the information that customers need while on the go. A made-for-mobile website helps your visitors quickly become customers with content and a design suited to the mobile context. For example, customers can use the unique features of the mobile phone to contact you such as the “call us” feature, where with one touch they call your business and the “find us” feature, which provides access to an interactive Google map showing your business address and allowing the customer to obtain directions from their present location to your business.

Will this replace my desktop site?

A mobile site extends the reach of your business to the mobile web, allowing you to provide your mobile visitors a fast and easy way to learn about your business and contact you with one click. While your existing web site is aimed at giving a full and comprehensive picture of your business, a mobile site allows you to deliver immediate access to what matters most when on the go. The two sites are complimentary and work together to make sure your customers are getting the most appropriate experience for their context and their device.

How will people actually get to my mobile site?

There are four ways by which users can reach your site:

Detect/redirect. We provide a custom script that, when placed in your main site home page, detects mobile visitors, and redirects them automatically to the mobile site. It’s simple, effective, and convenient.

Promote the site to your customers. For example, using one of the mobile features you can send links via text message to your customers’ mobile phones so they always have your information in hand. Or use the integrated QR code feature to create a custom QR code or brochure that you can use in any marketing effort you manage.

The third way is via search. Users on mobile devices increasingly see mobile sites returned in search results, so a mobile site will increase your business visibility to mobile users.

Fourth, you can add a link on your main website to your mobile site. This will help increase awareness that the mobile site is available.

Looking at this interesting fact, you can see that for any business it is crucial to have a mobile ready website. Most of the desktop normal websites out there aren’t viewable on mobiles and that is due to the fact that you have to have a mobile ready website, which in normal terms can download quickly and provide the necessary information for people on the go.

Having a desktop site is still very important whereby you can provide much more information about your company, but the fact remains that allot more people are searching online through their mobile phones and with smartphone sales just increasing every year, you have no choice but to go online and get a mobile website.

So what is a mobile website?

Basically it a website that have the following features and displays compact and in the right format on your phone. The screens of most mobile phones are much smaller than a desktop and thus you have to create a mobile version of your website, otherwise people won’t be able to view your website and just close it down and that means that you just lost a potential sale.

• There are 84 million internet-enabled mobiles in Africa.

Page Rank

Pagerank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be.

Thus each website gets a pagerank from google after about 3 month of going live and this value is only revised and changed on a 3 month interval. There are allot of factors influencing this number and although people claim to know, no one for sure knows that algorithm google uses to calculate this.

What definitely plays a major role is how many websites with a pr google link to you. Thus if there are allot of good PR (4 and up) linking to your website, Google will view your site with more importance and thus move up your pagerank. Most websites start off with a pagerank from 1-3 and climbing from 3 to 4 or even 5 can take long time.

Our Page Rank:

Traffic Rank

Your pagerank does play a role in your traffic rank, but it must be stated that these are 2 totally separate ranking models. Your traffic rank is where you physically rank on google. Thus for a specific keyword you must be nr 7 (First page) out of 349,800 results. Then you traffic rank is 7.
To increase your traffic rank, you have to keep your website fresh with new content and setup links from good PR websites.

To check your pagerank, you go click on this link and fill in your website address:
