Google AdSense for mobile just released mobile banner ads. They behave in the same way as their traditional text links but they’re image ads formated for the mobile device.
We just implemented this into MoFuse, for those of you who are enrolled in our revenue sharing program. This means that if there is a suitable banner ad, that ad will be displayed. If Google cannot find a good enough banner ad the standard text link ads will appear.
Well, we’ve passed one major hurdle and your MoFuse mobile site will no longer be transcoded by Google Mobile Search! That’s right, if a mobile user finds your MoFuse mobile site via a Google Mobile Search, they’ll now see your actual mobile site just as you designed it — not the ugly transcoded Google version!
No word yet back from Yahoo regarding the Novarra engine, which needs to be changed. In the meantime we’re happy to say that the leader in mobile search now respects your mobile site design!
Figured I’d share some information with you all on the most popular devices/browsers we see on MoFuse, and here they are, in order:
It’s pretty decisive, Nokia phones account for a lot of the mobile traffic to MoFuse sites, 4 of their phones made our top 10 list with 2 of them ranking 1 & 2.
What surprised me was the amount of traffic we get from the Playstation Portable (which did not make the top 15) and the iPod Touch, which did make our top 15 list.
Pretty interesting stuff, if you’re a mobile geek.
This is the first in a long series of posts to show the world some new mobile sites that are making use of MoFuse. Since this is the first weekly roundup, it’s not really a weekly roundup. I just handpicked 5 of my favorite sites using MoFuse, and here they are:
