Does your web site work well on portable devices? Or does it work at all? Mobile search (and specifically mobile search for local content) is growing rapidly, so your visibility and LEGIBILITY will be more and more important.

The iPhone currently the subject of much frenzy and queueing as the 3G Version goes on sale today, has an advantage over most mobile browsers with its high resolution screen at 160 pixels to the inch, as opposed to a more common 96 dpi for an LCD computer monitor, and has an easy to manage zoom facility, so one can view any website fairly well - but do you know what your site actually looks like when it’s viewed?

iPhonemy.com is an elegant, simple site that allows you to answer this question - you can download free software (for Mac users) or have a screen shot of your site viewed on this software sent to you. For WordPress users, there is also a link to a plugin that automatically senses when an iPhone or mobile phone is viewing your site, and displays your site with a specific mobile-friendly theme.

It’s worth remembering that a mobile phone is also a wallet - and it’s always there, and almost always switched on… Informa Telecoms & Media predicts spending on mobile advertising as a whole to reach £5.6 billion by 2011.
