Mobile SEO best practices

Some tips for Mobile SEO best practices :
1. Use 100% valid XHTML 1.0 code. (Note: it is likely that WML will be phased out in the near future.) Many optimizers on the traditional WWW do not consider using valid code as a best practice. Mobile search engines however may have more trouble digesting invalid code. Be safe! If you validate, mobile search engines won’t have any trouble with your site.
2. Follow accessibility best practices. These will ensure that your content is accessible to anyone regardless of their platform — this includes mobile users and mobile search engines. The W3C’s Web Accessibility Initiative is a good place to turn for the latest information on accessibility. Dive Into Accessibility is also a useful tutorial.
3. Follow traditional on-site SEO best practices. You know the drill: major keywords in the title tag, H1’s and body text, keyword-rich anchor text for internal links, etc.
4. Getting spidered and indexed by mobile search engines
If you want mobile search engines to spider and index your site, they must know about it first. Submit your site to major mobile search engines for quick spidering.

    Nokia N96 Press Release

    Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N96, a multimedia computer truly optimized for video and TV. With a large 2.8? screen, 16 gigabytes of internal memory and support for high-quality videos in a wide range of formats, the dual-slide Nokia N96 represents an exciting new chapter in mobile media. The Nokia N96 multimedia computer is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an estimated sales price of approximately 550 euros, before subsidies or taxes.
    “In 2007, the Nokia N95 became an icon of convergence of Internet and mobility. With over 7 million units sold to date, the N95 has changed the way people use their mobile device. The Nokia N96 we introduced today builds on the success of N95, further enhancing the experience,” says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia’s Explore category. “Through the power of the Internet, video and TV are becoming even more prevalent in people’s lives. With its large, bright screen, and a range of high-speed connectivity options and the enhanced Nokia Video Center, the new Nokia N96 is a personal window to entertainment.”

    Eros Inks Digital Content Deal With Hungama

     


    MediaNama has learned from reliable sources that AIM listed Eros‘ digital content will now be with Hungama Mobile. This comes as a bit of a surprise, since in 2007, Eros had inked a four year deal with Mauj, based on a minimum guarantee - in most cases, content deals are renegotiated every year, and there’s a first right of refusal built in.
    We’d received a tip-off regarding this in the morning, and Mauj CEO Manoj Dawane had told MediaNama that they still have a four year deal with Eros, and there are many types of deals - catalog deals and others (new movies, specific films, specific content types). However, according to our sources, content post the movie “Drona” will be with Hungama. We have contacted Dawane for further clarification on the changes. It’s a year and a half since they struck that deal with Eros.
    Eros had digital revenues of $27.7 million last fiscal, though there’s no information on how much of it was from Mauj. This minimum guarantee game is a risky one, since if a film flops, the content doesn’t sell. By the looks of it - Bollywood hasn’t had a great year. Note that Hungama, the other significant player in this space, pays a fairly large minimum guarantee to T-Series, the largest music content aggregator. In fact, last month, T-Series acquired rights to UTV films for about Rs. 30 crore, despite UTV having their own music label - UTV Music, and this content would also have become a part of Hungamas catalog. That gives Hungama a fairly significant presence in this space, with T-Series, UTV and Eros content, which does appear to mitigate risks in terms of the success of a movie, but more partnerships would mean more minimum guarantees, and higher risk. Mauj has done deals with RGV Films in the past as well, so it’s not that they were only dependent on Eros alone.

    Opera Mobile 9.5 beta is released

    Opera Software has released the much-anticipated, first public version of Opera Mobile 9.5 beta. A powerful foreshadowing of what is to come, this beta takes mobile browsing speed and features to a new level, complete with visual effects and a new look. Download the new beta from http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/.
    Opera has changed the face of its mobile browser in this beta release. As with the latest version of Opera Mini, Opera Mobile 9.5 beta now defaults to page overview mode, allowing the user to view the entire Web page and instantly recognize the Web site. With panning and zooming options, the user is able to focus on specific page content. Opera also introduces a sleek, new user interface for easier navigation.

    Dangers of SMS phising

    Phishing is now spilling over to your mobile phone. The next time you receive an SMS from your mobile operator informing you about a service you have subscribed to and asking you to call a certain number to unsubscribe, beware, it can be a phishing message.
    Just like computer users who click on spam emails and are taken to a fraudulent website posing as a legitimate one, SMS phishing (or simply ‘SMiShing’) similarly dupes the mobile user to visit a phished site by sending an SMS pretending to be from a trustworthy entity. If one falls in the trap, it can lead to leakage of sensitive information such as user names, passwords and even credit card numbers.
    While SMS phishing or SMiShing misleads the user to visit a website, ‘vishing’ on the other hand directs the user to call on a number, for instance the customer care number of a telecom service provider, which instead is routed to a hacker. Voice phishing or ‘vishing’ uses a combination of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), SMS and the Internet to dupe the receiver into dialing a phone number and collect sensitive subscriber information for financial gain.

    Handsetdetection.com launched,reveals the type of web-browsing device used by website visitors

    Zaption.com announce the launch of Handsetdetection.com today. This  ground-breaking service provides users with the knowledge of which device each visitor to their website is using – whether it be phone, blackberry or  other portable device. There are currently over 7000 device variants the  service can identify.
    Handsetdetection.com have recently launched a beta service globally. The system, once connected to a website will identify what device each person is viewing your site from. Armed with this information, web developers and  designers can then display the correct view to match the expectations,  features and limitations of each device such as a touch screen UI for the  I-Phone browsers
    The handsetdetection.com mobile analytics dashboard provides a real time  insight into audience devices.
    *Why is it important?*
    With the rapid change within the mobile phone industry and the advance of  new handsets across the world, more people are accessing websites from  mobile and handheld devices than ever before. In fact, in some countries  such as India, the mobile device is now becoming the primary point for internet access.
    *What happens to a website that does not use this technology?*
    Websites written in FLASH or built for large traditional laptops and  desktops are likely to unusable or offer a poor user experience when viewing from small screen devices such as a mobile (cell) phone, blackberry and other similar handsets.
    The more knowledge a web developer has about the user’s device the better their ability to optimise a site for the visitor.
    *Why now?*
    We all await the launch of the new Apple I-Phone with great anticipation. According to mobile research firm m:Metrics, almost 85% of the I-Phone owners interviewed browse the Web on their phones, versus 58% of the U.S.
    smart-phone market and 13.1% of the overall U.S. mobile market. If the version two of the I-Phone has the same impact as version one, there will again be a substantial increase in activity when compared to the industry prior to the launch of this device. This is also helped by the ever growing [and reducing cost] of WiFi network access, and general 3G data availability.
    David Manjra, Director of Zaption.com says: *”Looking to the future, there will continue to be a rapid increase in
    mobile phone and portable device web surfing. In two years’ time, your website audience will be as likely to come from a mobile device as it is from a traditional computer.”*
    *”It is vital that marketing departments and website owners do not lose that contact with their customer through badly formatted or unviewable websites. If they seize the opportunity now, they can future proof their site, and stay one step ahead of their competitors”*
    Handsetdetection.com is offering this solution as a free service while in Beta phase. Visit

    Related Non Mobile Phone Systems

    Related non-mobile-phone systems

    Cordless telephone (portable phone)

    Cordless phones are standard telephones with radio handsets. Unlike mobile phones, cordless phones use private base stations that are not shared between subscribers. The base station is connected to a land-line. Increasingly, with wireless local loop technologies, namely DECT, the distinction is blurred.

    Professional Mobile Radio
    Advanced professional mobile radio systems can be very similar to mobile phone systems. Notably, the IDEN standard has been used as both a private trunked radio system as well as the technology for several large public providers. Similar attempts have even been made to use TETRA, the European digital PMR standard, to implement public mobile networks.

    Radio phone
    This is a term which covers radios which could connect into the telephone network. These phones may not be mobile; for example, they may require a mains power supply, they may require the assistance of a human operator to set up a PSTN phone call.

    Satellite phone
    This type of phone communicates directly with an artificial satellite, which in turn relays calls to a base station or another satellite phone. A single satellite can provide coverage to a much greater area than terrestrial base stations. Since satellite phones are costly, their use is typically limited to people in remote areas where no mobile phone coverage exists, such as mountain climbers and mariners in the open sea.

    Value-added services seen driving telecom revenue

    MUMBAI, March 5 (Reuters) - The mobile value-added services market in India is growing at 40 percent annually, but industry players say price points have to come down and a more user friendly experience ushered in to sustain growth.

    "As markets saturate, focus will be on increased average revenue per user (ARPU) and value added services (VAS) is the easiest ARPU driver," said Motorola India's Director Marketing of mobile devices, Lloyd Mathias.

    A major challenge for VAS and telecom providers is getting the customers to use the services. Customers find the download process frustrating and expensive and lose interest.

    Another challenge is moving away from music, which accounts for 50-60 percent of the revenue from VAS now. "Music drove the first set of users. For the next set, we have look at other areas," said OnMobile Global's (ONMO.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) CEO, Arvind Rao.

    Mobile VAS market in India is estimated to reach 55-60 billion rupees in 2007/08, Rao said. It contributes about 10 percent to telecom firms' revenue now.

    PRICING ISSUE

    VAS comes at a price which is on the higher side for consumers. "We need to re-evaluate and look at a reasonable price point because the consumers are making the choice," said Mathias.

    Buying an audio CD of an album would be more cost-effective than downloading a single track on the mobile, he said.

    "Copyright owners seem to be extracting a significant amount of money," said Idea Cellular's (IDEA.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) chief marketing officer, Pradeep Shrivastava. So the application providers and aggregators, who buy the content, have to suitably price their offering.

    Under the current pricing model, telecoms operators keep up to 70 percent of VAS revenues, the remainder being shared by the aggregators and the content owners, adding to the final price.

    Pricing will go down only with size, Shrivastava said.

    TECHNOLOGY AND EASE OF USE

    Of the 242 million mobile subscribers in India, roughly 4 percent to 5 percent use GPRS-enabled phones. Of this, only 4-5 million would be active GPRS users, said Sanjit Chatterjee, of U.K.'s Flytxt Ltd, which offers mobile marketing technology.

    GPRS or General Packet Radio System is a technology standard used for transmitting data wirelessly.

    "It is necessary to enable 3G (third generation mobile phone standards) to sustain current growth," he added.

    While music downloads are driven by messaging and voice, services like mobile commerce, video downloads and ticketing would require GPRS since they involve substantial data transfer.

    "Music's share in revenues will go down and it is the other thing (services) which will drive the VAS market," said Rao.

    In the next three years, revenue of telecom firms from VAS is seen rising to 20 percent, Shrivastava said.

    "It has to go up. There is a critical mass of mobile users who are savvy and willing go beyond voice and SMS," he added. (Editing by Prem Udayabhanu)

    Hutch Launches Mobile Radio Service

    Hutch has launched the Mobile Radio, to offer radio on the go and giving their users, the ability to control the music to their own taste. Aimed especially at young executives and college going subscribers, Hutch says this is an attempt to create a new vertical value added service (VAS) vertical, in the telecom business.

    As per the service, Hutch mobile subscribers may access Mobile radio by dialing123599 and choose between categories such as Stars, Romantic, Devotional (Hindu/Christian/Muslim), Latest Songs and a My Album category (to store favorites), with around 40-50 songs in each category. The 'My Album' category is created for a personalized selection, depending on the taste of the user. Here the user will be allowed to tag any song that he or she likes to be replayed at will.

    The Mobile radio service is currently priced at Rs 3 per minute, but Hutch says the pricing will be subscription-based at a very low cost of usage, approximately 30 to 50 paise per minute, in the near future.

    Hutch aims to allow all handset owners to tune into radio stations, while in the current scenario, low end handsets do not have the FM radio feature. Hutch says the Mobile radio product has been developed keeping in mind that this service can be accessed from the most basic handsets, and is a service that anyone can use.

    The service will play approximately 10 Voice clips, called Mobile Radio bumpers, describing the channel in not more 5 seconds. Hutch says it expects around 120 min of content per channel per week. The service also offers a language option to surf the application, depending on the operator's circles.

    While few Hutch customers have received the SMS from their message center, a majority of Hutch subscribers are clueless about this service. Representatives of the company said that there has been a segmented push for the service because it is still in the process of roll-out. The segment is not really defined as of now.

    Representatives of Hutch said the idea may soon evolve into a radio channel-kind of business model, with advertising revenue in the future, and a extension tool.

    6220 – pics and comments

    The design of the keypad gets a positive remark,  the ‘big’ keys are easier to text with than the ‘thin strip’ of keys on the N78. The pros appear to be the good buttons, the FP2 and the good camera, with the downside being the ‘not very effective’ lens cover and the stripped down OS.





      


      


      


      




     
    Have you got your hands on a 6220 yet? Is there anything you’d like ? Leave your questions and comments.

    N82 thoughts and tips

    Over at IT talks, Blogie has been testing out his N82, and he reckons it ‘definitely lives up to expectations’.


    He tested the camera (with and without xenon flash – and I’m sure you’ll agree that it makes one heck of a difference to the snaps) and he is a fan of the specs that Nokia have thrown at the device. He’s less sure about the keypad, however, saying that if it is to be a ‘storytelling’ handset (due to the photo and video capabilities), then typing text should really have been made easier. He reckons it is ‘too compact and the keys are hard to hit’, making typing anything – and especially telling a story – difficult. That said, given the gadgets included and the ability to control your life, he’d ‘certainly recommend this’ to anyone looking for a new device.


    Is there anything that you disagree with Blogie about? What do you like / dislike about the device? Head over, leave a comment, and see if anyone agrees with you.







    In other N82 news, Mike from The Nokia N82 Blog has found a way to copy and paste text from an SMS or email. By selecting forward, and using the # key, Mike has discovered that text can be placed on the clipboard. He asks if anyone has found a better way, so if you have, get over there and let him know.

    Top 10 Most Expensive Mobile Phones in the World

    Until recently, the vast majority of mobile phones had been priced between £100 and £300, with only Vertu, a division of Nokia , manufacturing uber-premium phones. With prices starting at around £4,000 Vertu phones are only for the filthy rich, and the super famous.
    However, Vertu's monopoly of the luxury phone market is coming to an end with the launch of several new luxury mobile makers, including Gresso, Mobiado and GoldVish. Other mobile phone manufacturers are also partnering with luxury brands to produce a range of premium mobile phones, such as LG and Prada , D&G and Motorola, and now Tag Heuer and Modelabs. Finally, there are the ridiculous, super-expensive one-offs, made purely for headline grabbing, such as Goldvish's "Le million", worth a cool $1,000,000, see below for details!


    1. Goldvish "Le million" = $1,000,000 (£540,540)

    A PR stunt it may be, and they surely can't be expecting to sell any, but the Goldvish "Le million" is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according the Guiness Books of Records. There's even been talk of a $1.3million phone, but this has fewer diamonds than the Goldvish so I can't see where the extra expense comes from! The "Le million" is a one off, featuring a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit. If $1 million is out of your price range. the Geneva-based Goldvish also offer several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600 (£13,837).

    2. Vertu Signature Cobra = $310,000 (£167,567)

    Vertu is now taking orders for the Signature Cobra, designed by French jeweler Boucheron, but you had better be quick as only 8 are being made! The Cobra will feature one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Vertu will also be offering a "cheaper" version, ruby free, at $115,000 (£62,162).

    3. Sony Ericsson Black Diamond = $300,000 (£162,162)

    Apparently the Black Diamond will be available in 2007, not from Sony Ericsson but by a company called VIPN. Initially only 5 unique numered pieces will be available for the unbelievable price of, wait for it… $300,000.
    With regards to the specifications, don't expect anything remarkable for your money. It will have Quad-band with Wi-Fi, an Intel 400Mhz processor running windows mobile 5, and a touch sensitive 2? screen. It will also include internal memory of 128mb and will come with a 2Gb SD card for external storage, plus a respectable 4 Megapixel camera. The designer Jaren Goh has used some pretty impressive materials for the build, featuring titane with polycarbonate, mirror-finish cladding and diamonds.


    4. Vertu Diamond = $88,000 (£47,567)

    The Diamond is Vertu's premium range of high-end mobile phones. As the name suggests the handsets in the Diamond range are diamond-encrusted handsets made from platinum. Only 200 of the handsets are being produced, the most expensive believed to be worth an estimated £50,000.

    5. Motorola V220 Special Edition = £28,000 ($51,800)

    Austrian designer Peter Aloisson, has taken a standard Motorola, studded it with 1,200 diamonds and added a keyboard inlaid with 18 carat gold. The outcome is a £28,000 handset, suitable only for footballers and film stars!

    6. Gold Edition Nokia 8800 Phone = $2,700 (£1,459)

    If you have $2,700 to spare, you can now buy the Nokia 8800 in 24K gold. However, be warned, if you think you'll be getting a better phone for your extra cash, you wont! The features found on the Gold Edition are the standard 8800 features, which are pretty basic. It includes a 0.5 Mega pixel SVGA camera, 64 MB of internal memory, 64 voice polyphonic rigntones, FM Radio, Mp3 Player, video recording and 180 mins talktime. However, the Gold Edition does includes a special edition box and charging dock!

    7. Mobiado Professional EM (wood) = $1,900 (£1,027)

    The Mobiado Professional EM, is a wood-clad upgrade of their earlier Nokia-based phone that includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, FM radio, Bluetooth, and according to Mobiado it's the first production phone with Titanium buttons. Only 200 are being made and each one has its limited number engraved on the back. At $1,900 however, you're still paying an awfully high premium for a fairly basic phone encased in wood!

    8. Bang & Olufsen (Samsung) Serene = $1,250 (£675)

    Bang & Olufsen hooked up with Samsung to design the sleek but unconventional Serene. Its not a bad looking phone and it even has a built-in motor to assist you in opening and closing the phone. It's not very practical however, requiring a special screwdriver to access the battery and the SIM card, and its circular keypad will take some getting used to. Also, for some strange reason they have positioned the camera lens on the side of the device, which will make it difficult to align snapshots via the viewfinder on the display.

    9. Lamborghini 8800 Sirocco from Nokia = $To be announced

    The Lamborghini Nokia 8800 Sirocco is another special edition, like the previously launch Aston Martin branded Sirocco. It will ultimately be a standard 8800 Sirocco but with the addition of the famous Lamborghini logo engraved on the font and the back, plus ball bearings from the auto company to in the slider phone mechanism. The Lamborghini phone will be a limited edition with only 500 being made. It will also feature Lamborghini graphics as wallpapers, screensavers, ringtones, and even has a short documentary video about the Lamborghini.

    10. Gresso Luxury Phone = £expensive

    The Russia based Gresso, is a new entry into the luxury phone market. Their aptly name "Gresso Luxury Phone" is made of gold and African Blackwood. Apparently they will be releasing a collection of five models called the Black Aura collection, and the designer is a "well known" Italian designer. Currently there are two versions of the African Blackwood phone, one with pink gold highlights named the Gresso Blackwood Gold Edition, and one made entirely of African Blackwood. In addition to the two African Blackwood phones Gresso also make a phone made entirely of pink gold named the Gresso Gold phone. Initially, the phones will be on sale only in Russia.

    Have you lost your mobile phone ?

    Here's what you can do...
    For GSM Phones
    1. Call up the "Customer Care" helpline of your airtime provider and ask them to deactivate the SIM.
    2. Call up the police. Submit them the IMEI number of your phone (which you should have noted before the theft).
    If you haven't lost your cellphone as yet, here's what you can do.
    Don't delay it... Just bring your cellphone near the computer and do it now !
    Instructions :
    Look behind the battery of your phone.
    To confirm, type *#06# on the keypad.
    Note this IMEI number down.
    * Report this IMEI number to the police if your cell is stolen.
    Knowledge Tit-Bits
    A unique code encrypted in each mobile, known as the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, is now being used to trace a mobile anywhere in the country. Even if the SIM card (network) is changed, it can be traced.
    Whenever a phone logs onto a particular network to make or receive calls, its IMEI number is emitted and this gets registered. In case of stolen phones, the service provider can pass on the information to the police. and they can trace the user through the SIM card. It is possible to even track down gangs running cellphone-stealing rackets.
    But I'm On CDMA.... Help !
    Sorry. This technology is not available in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobiles. Handset can be traced only if used in the same network. The programming can be changed very easily and it can be activated for a different service.
