Best Format for Your Blog on Mobile Phones

It’s no news that in the coming years, that the greatest number of people that would be accessing blogs will be coming from mobile phones. It is high time you position your blog for the upcoming mass traffic from mobile phones. If you are a blogger or a web administrator, this post will help you a great deal. In it you will find a method you can use to determine how the format of your blog will look like on mobile phones.

 
If you read www.makemoneyonlineng.com on mobile phones you will get a different look from the way it is on PCs. If you have your phone nearby, you can test this and see. This is because I use a WordPress plugin called WP-Mobile Detector. This is good because it will load faster on phones so that visitors can read Make Money Online successfully. But there comes a point where you need to place some adverts, especially Google Adsense. I have tried doing that but I don’t want to interfere my mobile visitors.

 
Anyway, if your blog is built on WordPress and you want to display Adsense Ads on the mobile format, you should read a tutorial by my friend Udegbunam Chukwudi Emmanuel. It’s titled “Adsense For Mobile Content WordPress Setup Guide“. And if your blog is built on Blogger and you want to display Adsense Ads on the mobile format, you should read a tutorial by my friend Jide Ogunsanya. It’s titled “How To display Adsense On Mobile Templates of Blogger/Blogspot blogs

 
So how can you choose and preview the best format for your blog on mobile phones?

I recently started using an Adobe Air application which I have fallen in love with. I got to know about the application with the help of Amit Agarwal of Digital Inspiration. With the application, you can preview mobile websites, design mockups, and local HTML on Mac or PC.

* Preview on iPhone 4, Palm Pre, HTC Evo, and Blackberry Storm, with more devices on the way
* Visit any URL or drag and drop local HTML, Flash, or image files
* View the same site on multiple devices
* Export PNGs of device views – perfect for portfolios
* Quick, painless installation and upgrades via Adobe AIR

The application will help you choose the best format for your blog after which you can then preview it. The essence of this is to help you position your blog for your mobile phone visitors. In addition to this, you should read Search Engine Optimization for your Mobile Phone Visitors. This would help you work on your blog and make it easily discovered by mobile phone users who don’t know your blog already.
