The Mobile Developer

So our site is currently in index limbo. Our old urls, which we’ve 301′d to the new homepage are still in the index, (but presumably not doing very well since they are only linked to the homepage), but our new super amazing mobile seo friendly urls have not been indexed yet. Here’s a link to the main mobile slimming page. And here’s a link to the cold water diet page, which as you can see has been beautifully crafted - now please please please mr google spider - can you crawl mobislim and particularly pick up this fascinating article about the cold water diet?

Have finally managed to sort out the permalinks on word press for this blog - the problem was that although WordPress was able to modify the .htaccess file, the url rewriter was being ignored by apache. This is almost certainly down to the super lame httpd default install on this fasthosts server.  I fixed the problem by putting the url rewriting code into the “dont’t put anything here” section of the vhosts.conf file and it has fixed the problem nicely. I’m even happier that the old urls work too so no having to add redirects to keep up my existing page rank! Now to press on and get the new version of our mobile slimming site - mobislim v2 - live onto our production environment.

We have just received go-ahead on performing search engine optimisation for our mobile analytics project mobislim.com !

We are working with Top SEO Company One Result in order to boost the rankings of Mobislim for diet related searches.

This will work nicely with the amazing new advances in Bango’s Analytics and Billing systems - which will give valuable referal and campaign tracking data.
