Hi Zinadooers,With January almost at a close we thought it would be nice to write a short post about what to do with your mobile Website and how it can help you during these trying times to increase brand awareness and drive traffic to your site or business.

Here are some ideas for you to think about:

Promote your site using many of the Zinadoo features to promote your mobile presence, for example:

• Web Widgets: place one onto your website or blog so everyone knows you have a mobile Web presence also. Even use the SMS widget to let users enter their mobile number to receive a link to your mobile website on their mobile phone.
• Place an RSS feed onto your site from your Website or Blog by selecting the Add Widget menu in the Site Designer.
• If you have a short promotional video about you or your business, then get it onto YouTube and then add a link to your mobile website by selecting the Add Video option in the Site Designer.
• Make sure your mobile website is bookmarked in the Zinadoo Discovery service MobiSeer.

Coming Soon
