  3. Customization of interference of your site is also simple by cllicking on Design/Colors link under Make it Unique tab. Apart from giving various colors, you can have your Logo too.
  4. Mobile site Monetization can also be done by integrating your Adsense publisher account or AdMobi account by accepting Terms and conditions of revenue sharing.
  5. If you own a hosting, then a custom domain (like m.sitename.com) can be used for your mobile site. Creating custom domain requires you to change DNS settings in your DNS (Domain Controller website). Click on the link Custom Domain link and enter URL you like.
    Note : Using subdomain m is recommended since it is short and your users can easily guess the URL since almost all popular sites now follow the m. convention.

    Cool – nice blog, nice mobile version.

    I might add though that you can do the same with Mippin Mobilizer, customise your blog, change plenty of stuff in fact, and then find new readers at the same time.

    This is because your blog, once its mobilized (again?), becomes part of a much wider community of content, people, news, blogs, video, images, listings and much more, all of which is browsed and found at the mobile site http://mippin.com (on a mobile browser.)

    To get an instant demo go to http://www.mippin.com/mobilizer and enter your URL to see how it looks. If you’re impressed then use the other features to make it shine and look at generating advertising income.

    Mippin has one of the largest mobile audiences in the US and UK, with people connecting around tons of content interests. It’s sort of mobile-friendly turned, mobile family!

    Let us know if you like it because we’re not exactly impartial given that we think it’s a winner!
