Over the decade I have been using mobile devices to view email, I have noticed how users get completely addicted to their devices. I recall walking around with a Nokia flip phone – circa 2000 that I finally gave up for a Motorola phone circa 2004! I still think both vendors offer great phones. Today, I walk around with a Pearl from Blackberry. 2007 marks the first time in a decade that I have accepted a Blackberry as a phone and as an email device. I had both. I get the Gist of Email from various sources (personal and enterprise) sent to me through www.amikamoble.net. I don’t bother synching my Blackberry since I don’t want the 200 or so messages I get a day to come to me mobile. I am finding that this is a good way to separate what I have to absolutely address while away from my Inbox. I am definitely an addict of mobile email and am very fussy about my mobile device. I know people who have steadfastly refused to give up their devices until the keys start to fail. The reason for this besides the form factor, look and feel is the information that these devices have onboard in terms of contacts and now pictures. One way around this is to synch the device to a desktop contact manager and download pictures and crucial information before they get lost altogether when the mobile device finally gives out as all things manufactured tend to do!

Not only do users become attached to specific mobile devices but they can personalize their mobile phones further through the effective use of black and/white lists with services such as that at www.amikamobile.net. Judicious use of filtering words during the sign-on for this service creates a highly personalized mobile phone, thereby increasing the efficacy of the forwarding of critical email alerts and their relevance to every user. Filtering can be amended later by returning to the sign-on page and making changes, additions and/or deletions as necessary.

The term ringtone refers to the sound or music that a mobile phone makes. It can also be defined as the sound you hear when you are on the phone waiting for other person to pick up. With upcoming computer technology, today mobile phone ringtones have become even more sophisticated. There is variety of ringtones available and the reason is that people can differentiate between two or many ringtones while their mobile is ringing.

History of ringtones

Ringtones have become more widely used with increase in the use of mobile phones. So these relate to the history of mobile phones. Earlier, it was important for the operators in the telephone exchange who required the telephones to ring off. In the year 1997, some of the ringtones were downloaded by Nokia with the help of a system known as smart messaging system.

How ringtones work?

Ringtones solely depends upon the computing power of the mobile phone and is based on a common web language known as ringtone text transfer language (RTTL) developed by Nokia. Different mobile phones use different ringtone encoding format but mostly these are send to your mobile devices in the form of text messages.

Types of ringtones

There are mainly three types of ringtones namely, monophonic, polyphonic ringtones and true tones. Out of these, monophonic was the first and standard from of ringtone that used to be one sound or music that could be played at a single point of time. In the form of polyphonic ringtones, several notes could be played at once. Later, true tones, voice tones came into picture where you can customize your or your loved one’s voice as per your likes and dislikes.

Today, ringtone has become an important part of economy because it is major source of income for the companies selling them. Moreover, music companies get huge royalties for selling these ringtones to the ringtone companies.

Future of ringtones

Ringtone is going to be an important part of the mobile phone technology in the near future also. It could happen that other technically advanced from of ringtones take place of the standard ringtone and any sound file is used as ringtone. Mobile phone rage comes to mind as a future concern. There should be some rules implemented so that use of irritating ringtones is prohibited in public places such as concert halls or cinema halls.

More and more people are now using a Blackberry, Ipod or other mobile phone to view a website or search the web while they are out and about. That might be to find the address of where they are going, price compare while shopping or even to cheat in pub trivia.

While it is not yet the majority of people, nor could it yet even be called mainstream here in Australia, it does exist, and it will only increase. Research recently conducted in the US showed that of a sample of 1,000 mobile users, around 70% used it to access the internet. As the web continues to become an integral part of our life and technology continues to push forward increasing the capability of mobile devices, the number of people using the internet away from their desktop is only going to increase.

What does this mean for businesses and site owners? Well, not only do you now need to consider how you can build a mobile-friendly version of your website (desktop-style sites are often impossible or inconvenient to view on a mobile device), but you also need to start considering how your website marketing efforts will have to be different for this new media.

Google and other search engines now have mobile versions of their sites, which make it easier for people to read the results on the go. The thing with mobile search is though, the rankings are now taking new parameters into consideration, such as your sites suitability for the mobile user.

There are a range of differences between mobile and desktop users of the internet, which will affect both your PPC and SEO campaigns. For example, keywords will likely be shorter and more specific in mobile search than on a desktop. Usability will obviously be different. Visibility of the top 10 ranks will be compromised. Requirements of mobile devices are different. Even measuring the activity of mobile users is a new frontier – there are tools out there which can measure mobile searchers, but maybe your analytics tool won’t be one of them.

To work in the mobile internet market, you need to think about the actual differences between a mobile device and a PC. Then, you need to keep those in mind all the time, from when you are designing your mobile site, to when you are performing SEO on it. The website design rules are dramatically different because of the limitations inherent in using a mobile device to view a web page. The SEO principles for a mobile site are largely similar, however there are a few differences to take note of and a lot of opportunities which aren’t available in ‘desktop’ SEO.

One of the main differences between desktop and mobile is the screen size issue, which limits the amount you can put onto a screen and still make it look good. This will limit what you can do with fonts, content, images and other facets of your web page. You might want to say all the same messages but in limited format, or you might want to present only the mobile-relevant content in the space available.

Secondly, there are the usability issues – mobile internet is usually viewed on hand held devices, used one-handed, and usually using a numeric keypad. This limits the amount of typing people will be willing to do and increases the desire for easy navigation.

Thirdly, there is the patience issue. If someone is using a mobile device it is likely because they are on the move or they are looking for a quick reference. It is unlikely that a mobile device user will have the same time and patience as a desk top user.

So what do you need to do to address all these mobile-specific issues? A lot of things, but here are a few action-critical few to get you started…

1. Make sure you have a mobile-specific site. If you think your customers are likely to use mobile devices to view your site, you want to encourage them and reward their loyalty by giving them a good user experience. This will require specialist design, and lots of testing to ensure that it is being rendered appropriately on the different kinds of mobile devices (e.g. Nokia vs Iphone).

2. Keyword research – this will be very different to desktop keyword research as you will have fewer characters. Google Adwords has a new feature in their Keyword tool which will help suggest keywords if you are running mobile ads. Also, mobile search looks like it will be heavily influenced by predictive keyword suggestions, (like Google already does) to save on time and frustration for the mobile device user. Also, predictive suggestions can help you figure out what terms you might want to be optimising for.

3. Mobile search will depend on location a lot more than desktop search, which means location identifiers are critical in your mobile SEO efforts.

4. Remember traditional SEO practices like crawlability and links, these are still relevant for mobile search.

5. Make sure your site is mobile compliant

6. Record and analyse – use web analytics to track your mobile users behaviour, so you have first hand knowledge of the differences inherent in mobile users. For example, gauge their attitude to your site (page views, bounce rates, content preferences), the sources of your traffic, keywords used and exit pages.To do this you can make an advanced segment in Google Analytics or ask your paid analytics provider to provide this segmentation for you (if possible).

Mobile SEO is a huge new undertaking for any webmaster, and these are only a few of the things you will need to consider when upgrading your site to be usable on mobile devices. I highly recommend that you contact experts to help you with your debut on the mobile internet.
