Ensure That Your Website Is MOBIL-compliant
Google's free mobile ad placement will end in 65 days. If you haven't tested it out, you probably should give it a try. Set up an adwords account (click on the advertising button on the Google homepage), and then approve mobile advertising.
But before you do that, make sure your website is mobile-compliant. For an excellent example of a mobile-compliant website, check out http://www.vanwagnerwood.com/. The really great benefit of the site's navigation is that it acts as a directory in a mobile phone screen. The "call me" graphic in the upper right hand corner of the site is the very first thing people see. They need go no further to call Van Wagner & Wood, S.C. than to access the website.
Other examples appear below. "YES" means that the site is mobile-compliant technically and the phone number shows up immediately; a NO means that it is not mobile compliant or the phone number does not show up. (If known, the webmaster is listed).

Ten years ago, the US was "going online", which meant that they were getting dial-up Internet access. Five years ago, broadband was "the only way to surf the web!" And today, websites are going mobile. If your site has a NO next to it, it did not pass the Google test screen.
