Brands ignoring mobile search at their peril says Mobileweb
Rating: A cross device mobile strategy is also key, apparently
According to the Mobileweb Company, mobile websites that it operates typically see uplift in mobile site traffic of more than 90 per cent. That’s because they are fully optimised for mobile search discovery, the company claims. Whilst Mobileweb’s own recently announced research shows that iPhone users grab the lion’s share of mobile web access (55.7 per cent), the company still urges brands to adopt a cross device mobile strategy. Less than 10 per cent of potential customers have an iPhone. Continue reading

Google under threat from EU over search
Rating: Even more dominance over mobile search
Recent reports are suggesting that Joaquin Almunia, the EU’s commissioner for competition, is only weeks away from launching legal action against internet search giant, Google. Almunia will have to decide whether the company has breached the European Union’s anti-trust laws. In Europe, nine out of ten internet searches is carried out via Google as opposed to two out of three in North America. This brings Google some very nice profits. Last year [2011], it made around £6 billion which provides it with a nice little war chest for fighting such actions. These monster corporation versus government battles can drag on for years – witness the EU’s battle with Microsoft over browsers. But Microsoft was fined £1.4 million in the end. In theory, this means that Google could be fined around ten per cent of its annual revenues – which could come in as high as 3.1 billion. In the mobile world, however, Google’s dominance is even higher. Continue reading

British retailers cannot afford to ignore mobile
Rating: Mobile search volumes increased 216% says BRC
The Online Retail Monitor for Q2 2011 – put together by the British Retail Consortium and Google – found that total retail search volumes had grown by 27 per cent compared with Q2 2010. The increase was driven by a rise in mobile search volumes of 216 per cent year-on-year. Interestingly, London comprised 36 per cent of all retail search volumes in the UK. The findings have caused Simon Walker, director for product management with Stibo Systems to warn that this rise clearly demonstrate that retailers cannot afford to ignore the power of mobile. “A 216 per cent rise in the past year shows how customer habits are changing and should come as a warning call to retailers. Customers are increasingly turning to mobile and tablet devices as part of a general lifestyle shift towards digital,” Walker commented. Continue reading
