Is Your Blog Smartphone Ready?

Millions of consumers use their phones for browsing the web on a daily basis.  Cellular service providers are competing with one another to have the fastest mobile internet speed just like broadband and DSL providers.  Consumers no longer want to wait for an internet page to load on their phone anymore which is why your blog should be smartphone ready.

If you use Google Analytics to monitor your blog traffic, you have probably noticed traffic from iPhone, BlackBerry and Android phones are now recorded.  Google Analytics even records which cellular provider the visitor uses.

Not technical savvy, or paying a developer to build an iPhone app is not in your budget? Well, a simple Wordpress plugin will help you get your blog mobile ready.

Installing the WPTouch plugin turns your blog into a smartphone ready site.  iPhone users will be able to view the titles of your posts and select which ones they want to read.  Adding a “tweet this”, or a social bookmarking button, increases the chance of the link being shared by your visitors on their preferred social networks, which will draw even more traffic to your site.

Social media is changing the the way information is shared.  Ensuring your blog is smartphone ready keeps you in line with the changes.
