I don't really do SEO, the traffic needs to come from the mainsite, Google mobile just rolled out a view weeks ago the mobile bot.. i still haven't seen any improvements in ranking when it comes to mobile sites as standalone sites... hope that makes sence

I'd have to agree that most of the traffic is probably going to be coming from the mainsite...the mobile site being just a derivative of the mainsite that has been optimized for mobile phones

I think SEO is the most and location based keyword also.

Mobile traffic comes from many of the same tactics you would use on a normal websites.

Good and regular content, good targeted key phrases, linking strategies etc.

Of course if you want specific tactics then QR Codes are also a great way to drive traffic

If you are using a plugin for something like wordpress then some of these tactics wont work and you will have to rely on the main website to bring in the traffic.

1) when you search for a local business on mobile within a city or zip code ("dry cleaner 81082") on a smart phone, about 10 top results are Google Places (google map). Having a mobile site can help your client up their map listing if the mobile site has a way to "like" that business or post a twit (more twits and likes help the map ranking). And especially if the mobile site asks visitors to post a review on the Google map (a high number of positive reviews is what really helps to be in the top numbers on the Google map).

2) Besides the map listings, the other listings you'll find on the first page of google mobile search is PPC (Adwords ads). You can help your client run a mobile PPC (Adwords) campaign to get there. Keywords like "dry cleaner 81082" for mobile are dirt cheap, and will help your client get visibility and may cost only a couple of cents a click.

If your customer is a local business and you focus on the above 2 for them, and not worry much about the traditional SEO, they can get them visible on the first page of google results on mobile.Traditional SEO is complicated and expensive, and it's hard to tell what Google is doing with the mobile bots and if they will change their indexing process for mobile searches ten times in the next 12 months.

But as Quentin suggested, good and regular content, good targeted key phrases on a mobile site is a good practice (but not guaranteed to quickly get you the results you need, which is to show your customer on the 1st page on Google).

Best answer so far.

Thanks Kevin

Read The Forum!!! Don't expect people to give you all the answers here.

If you want to learn something, you need to go get yourself. Sorry to be harsh but its much more better to go searching then asking sometimes.

Some answers already posted doesn't answer all of your questions so go search.
