Mobile phones, love them or hate them they have become a permanent fixture in our everyday lives. The technology has evolved so much now that rather than being just a phone your mobile is your camera, diary and more. Using your mobile to browse the Internet started with WAP and then advance to 2.5G and then 3G. While using the Internet on your mobile isn’t perfect it is a growing market with a lot of potential. Surely this is the next market that is going to be a battle ground for Google and the other search engines as well as search engine optimisation gurus and Internet marketing experts.
The .mobi market is already growing with domain names like flowers.mobi, sportsbook.mobi and fun.mobi being sold for between $100,000 and $200,000. This is proof that businesses are looking at this next part of the web expansion, especially as there are 1 billion Internet users and 2 billion mobile phone users. This is a market that will need to be jumped on by web design companies dealing with search engine optimisation as their clients will soon want part of this growing market.
