Your 12-Point Checklist for Mobile-Optimized Landing Pages

According to a new report from Cisco, the global mobile data use almost tripled between 2009 and 2010. However, the most surprising information they offer is that they expect mobile data use to increase by a factor of 26 by 2015, and much of that growth will come from users who don’t even have electricity at home.

Everybody knows that the mobile device usage now is growing day by day. For example, almost everyone has a smartphone and plays with it all day long. Moreover, nowadays people stick with a mobile device and almost can’t live without it. Therefore, it is so important for marketers to know how to manage the mobile-optimized landing pages.
