An important aspect of your Mobile Commerce site is that it must be optimized for the mobile web.

Here are a few key tips for Mobile Website SEO

1. When creating your title tags and meta descriptions, make sure to add the word “mobile” to your copy. This will ensure that Google bots read your mobile website as pages created specifically for the mobile web.

2. Submit your Mobile Commerce Website to every directory, just as you would do for a traditional e-commerce website. Be sure to include your local directories as well- especially if your business is based locally.

3. Create a Mobile Sitemap. Google developed specific bots to crawl mobile websites. To make sure your mobile commerce site doesn’t get mistaken for your PC website, it is extremely important to create a mobile sitemap. Google will display mobile pages that it decides are the most relevant to any particular mobile search. This makes it crucial for most businesses to have a mobile sitemap (along with a fully optimized mobile site) with their Mobile commerce site. Failure to do this can result in your mobile site not appearing in organic searches- making it impossible for your customers to find you.

4. Submit your site to all major mobile search engines. This is a must if you want your mobile website to be crawled at all. Here is a list of mobile search engines you should definitely consider:

Google XHTML http://www.google.com/xhtml

Google Mobile http://www.google.com/mobile/

Yahoo Mobile http://mobile.yahoo.com/search

MSN/Bing http://home.mobile.live.com/Home.mvc

AOL Mobile http://mobile.aolsearch.com

ABPHONE http://www.abphone.com

5. Speed is important. Google has announced that site speed will now be taken into consideration for Google ranking. For now, it is safe to assume that mobile users are on a slow connection, so be sure to follow the appropriate guidelines for creating your mobile site, to ensure you are up to speed (no pun intended).
