Monetize your blog on mobiles
I stumbled upon this great tool to allow your blog appears on mobiles with the acceptable format. It is a WordPress Mobile Plugin from Andy Moore.
Ever since I received my BlackBerry, I’ve been using it to check and access my blog. It never occur to me whether my site is compatible for mobile viewing or not until now.
Here is the screenshot of my original site on my BB.
And here is the screenshot of it, after using the plugin:
Seriously, I don’t really know which is better. Though I know the previous version is not a mobile compatible format, and BB made its own adjustment before showing, I don’t think I like the version after using the plugin. I don’t know how to make the title fonts smaller, no idea where to change it! That ‘Updated today!’ is also too big. It looks different from other people’s. Don’t understand why and how…
Anyway, the plugin has one other benefit which I’m still experimenting. It helps you to monetize your blog on mobiles. It allows the usage of AdMob, an ad portal for mobile sites, in your own blog. Yet to earn any cents.
BTW, also found out that my site is not listed in Google mobile! So, basically if you try to search for my blog using a mobile phone, you’ll end up not finding me. Must fix that too…
looks interesting. I have not yet tested my blog with mobile. but mine mostly contain pic. sure takes time to load.
willchua: I tested for a while, but still when I tried searching for Suzette on Google Mobile, I still couldn’t find this site. So, I think better to find out first, otherwise whether with or without the plugin also useless ler…
