To play in this game you need to spend well into the millions.</p><p>A little question to all of those campaigns that showed a web address at their end of their ads. Where was your audience most likely to be when you showed that URL?</p><p>A. At their computer.<br
/> B. On a sofa.<br
/> C. All of the above.</p><p>I&#8217;m going to suggest, C. Except their computer isn&#8217;t a desktop, it&#8217;s probably either a laptop, netbook or mobile device. So when these hundreds of thousands of visitors hit your site on their mobile device, what did you give them? Only a few sites gave an optimized version. (Most notably I think Dockers, which let you submit your entry for free pants easily through your mobile device.)</p><p>However, beyond just unoptimized mobile sites, there were a few that were all Adobe Flash and gave you nothing! So after spending millions on an commercial, and probably a fair chunk on your Flash sites, you didn&#8217;t even think of all those potential customers checking you out on their mobile device?</p><div

When you think about your website, don&#8217;t just think along the traditional &#8216;Who are my users? What do they want?&#8217; lines. Also think- &#8216;Where are my users? What are they doing? How much time do they have?&#8217;.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://siteguv.com/2010/02/b-is-for-context/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
