Big Google news day, again. First, there was the announcement of Google AdSense advertising program for mobile devices. In other words, if you have a website created to be seen on a mobile device, and want to earn a buck or two out of it, you should use mobile AdSense. The program is available in US, England, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ireland, Russia, Netherlands, Australia, India, China, and soon Japan.
This announcement goes pretty much hand in hand with the growing popularity of iPhone, which is turning to be quite a little platform, with tens of new applications and sites created specifically with the iPhone in mind appearing every day.
The other Google news bit is about Google Presentations (or Presently as it was once called, but I don’t see that name anywhere anymore), the last piece of the Google Offi… err, Google Docs puzzle. I’ve tried it out, and if you want to see a detailed review, I suggest you jump over to Mashable, where I wrote a comparison between Google Presentations and PowerPoint.
If you want to hear the short version, though: here it is: it’s neat, it works, and no way in hell it can replace PowerPoint for any serious work. It does have some nice options that PowerPoint lacks: easy sharing with anyone with a Gmail account + chat via Google Talk while viewing the presentation.
Check it out here, along with the other Google Docs programs.
I wonder if any clicks from a mobile phone will result in any conversion for the advertiser? After all you can run Adsense on a mobile phone optimized site. But what if the Adwords advertiser doesn’t have a mobile phone enabled website, then what?
Unless of course you have an iPhone. In which case, you’re probably broke already :p
well the number of adsense advertisers will cause a little hicup in the mobile adsense, but as the number of mobile formatted sites rise, it may be something that will pass off.
