But if you believe with other big and small businesses, pay-per-clicks and big brands that the future traffic lies on mobile internet, you have no choice but to learn the rules that are enumerated below and quoted from a blogpage on dotMobi.Mobile Developer
1. XHTML tags for your mobile profile
- You ought to have a tag for your mobile landing page to signify the XHTML nature of your site. XHTML is the preferred language for mobile web browsers (just in case you did not know) and this language gives mobile browsers the signal as to what kind of behavior your site wants the consumer to experience. Mobile sites not implementing this rule will be turned off with due notice.
2. Strictly No Frames
- Frames in some cases, screw up or break mobile browsers and produces a bad mobile experience for the users. They also make navigation around a mobile site more difficult for users. Mobile sites not implementing this rule will be turned off with due notice.
3. myname.mobi should be the landing page
- This rule exists for the practical reason that consumers on the go do not have much chance to remember lengthy addresses or even type lots of characters on a zero to nine keypad. A dotMobi page is supposed to guarantee that users need not worry about what comes before the name (www.something Or wap.something) and feed the requested mobile pages quickly and dependably. Mobile sites not implementing this rule will be turned off with due notice.
