What is Mobile SEO?
(Page 1 of 4 )
The online world is going mobile, and everyone’s getting involved with the popular trend. Mobile Web browsers and smart phones have turned the mobile world into an entire universe of online sites and stops, advertising and extras. The online world is going mobile, and that means your site should, too. What is mobile SEO…and, do you know how to use it?
Mobile SEO is often treated like a very different animal when it’s compared to the more standard SEO practices we’ve come to accept when creating online content. Now that you’ve started to master search engine optimization practices for the Internet, it’s time to master a whole new skill named mobile SEO. How does it differ, and how do you use it to make your mobile site a success?
Mobile Web Sites
Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter and many, many other sites you find on the Web can also be found on the mobile Web -- mobile-enabled versions of the sites you’re probably already familiar with using. There is often a distinction between mobile sites and their computer-viewable counterparts. For instance, Google has two versions of itself - the one you’ll find on the Internet, and the one you’ll find on the mobile Internet.
There is often a distinction between mobile sites and “regular” Web sites, and this is misleading in a way. Though many sites choose to create a mobile version of themselves (mirror sites), it’s absolutely possible for mobile as well as computer users to find the exact same Web sites even when they’re using two very different types of devices.
Now, all you have to do is learn how that works, and learn how to apply the principles of mobile SEO to a site that might already be rich in standard SEO. Sound confusing? It doesn’t have to be.
