The first one is http://mwo.mobi. MWO is a mobile web directory, that already has a couple hundred sites posted on it. This is probably one of my favorite designs to date. This site is [...]
A couple of mobile RSS feeds

.htaccess, Mod_Rewrite and the Mobile Web
Hey all,
I’ve recently been re-doing all of my mobile sites for a fresh 2009 look! I’ve been using Mod_Rewrite to make ‘clean URLs’. Why you might ask? Well, I’ll come clean, I’m no SEO expert, more of an SEO hack. So using Mod_Rewrite can change my URL structure from:

to:
/page/var/var2/
I thought I would share with everyone [...]

Celebwire.mobi gets a face lift!
Celebwire.mobi got a face lift today. The old version was very cluttered, and pink and purple. This new version is better for SEO with clean URLs, title and h1 tags. The new version scores a 4/5 on ready.mobi – only because Google Mobile Adsense does not follow dotMobi standards.. You’d think that a supporter [...]
Local Portal is live again!

How to get users to your site
I wanted to share some techniques that I use to gain traffic to my mobile websites. Once my site is tested, debugged and ready to go, I look to these services first.
1) Admob
On just about every site I create, I spend atleast $10 in admob on advertising. Most of the time my sites require a [...]
Quick SMS code to embed in your xhtml
I’ve gotten many requests from my clients to have a SMS feature on their site. This isn’t much of a daunting task anymore, as I have built my own application to use, but this code snippet will allow the user to send an SMS using their own texting service, rather from the mobile website.
