If it’s not, then you’re frustrating your visitors and they’re most likely never to come back to your site or blog. I remember reading somewhere that 80% of your mobile traffic is leaving within’ 2 minutes of landing on your website if it is not mobile ready. This is because it is really hard to navigate a normal site on a mobile device, and find the information you’re looking for. It only makes sense really.

Even if you believe that QR codes are going to soon be forgotten, why not test them out in your business first and let the results speak for themselves. They’re so cheap and simple to implement that you really have no reason not to play around with them. I’m personally going to put one on the back of my business card next time I print some more.
Rebekah Henson from Aweber shares 3 ways you can implement QR codes into your business:
“QR codes are powerful little marketing tools. These 2D barcodes bridge the gap between the real world and mobile Internet, allowing customers to interact with your content in new ways.
We showed you how to build your email list offline with QR codes that link to your web form. Here are some best practices to keep in mind, along with some other ways that QR codes can supplement your email marketing.
Best Practice #1: Use For Offline Marketing
QR codes boil down to ease of use.

This comes as no surprise really. I’m all for smart phones gaining in popularity, since it will only help bloggers and internet marketers/entrepreneurs. It just all comes down to the fact that people with smart phones use the Internet more often than those that don’t. This means we have many more opportunities to reach new people and draw them into our site. It’s simply a numbers game.
I’ll be honest, Apple iPhones are my least favorite when it comes to smart phones. I just don’t trust Apple to make the right decision when it comes to Net Neutrality.
WebProNews Reports:
“Apple released its second-quarter financial results today. This includes a record March quarter driving 83% revenue growth, and 95% profit growth.
Second quarter revenue came to $24.67 billion with profit at $5.99 billion ($6.40 per diluted share). For the same period last year, the company reported 13.50 billion revenue and $3.07 billion profit.
The company also recorded year-over-year iPhone sales growth of 113%, having sold 18.65 million iPhones in the quarter. In addition, the company sold 3.76 million Macs (28% YoY growth), 9.02 million iPods (a 17% YoY decline), and 4.69 million iPads during the quarter.
“With quarterly revenue growth of 83 percent and profit growth of 95 percent, we’re firing on all cylinders,” said CEO Steve Jobs. “We will continue to innovate on all fronts throughout the remainder of the year.”
CFO Peter Oppenheimer added, “We are extremely pleased with our record March quarter revenue and earnings and cash flow from operations of over $6.2 billion. Looking ahead to the third fiscal quarter of 2011, we expect revenue of about $23 billion and we expect diluted earnings per share of about $5.03.”
iPhone sales estimates had been all over the board, but clearly they’re doing well, based on this earnings report. Analysts expected the iPad to be doing a little better, but it looks like Apple will survive. iPod decline isn’t entirely shocking…”
