Advertising is critical to business online and offline. For online advertisers, there is a new arena to explore: the mobile web. With over 60 million people accessing the Internet from their mobile phones and other devices, it pays to take a look at advertising on the mobile web.

Mobile Web 2.0 technology has made the Internet more accessible from your cellular device. Social networkers can access their profiles on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others. No matter where you are, mobile Internet allows you to view the weather and top news stories even when your PC is not feeling the wireless love.

Advertising on the mobile web has several advantages:
* More targeted audience of users
* Optimized banner ads
* Increased brand recognition
* Increased ad creativity due to screen size
* Autonomy on the screen

The majority of users on the mobile web are in their mid-twenties to the mid-thirties. This age group typically has more disposable income than those with families to support. They are more likely to click on an ad and follow the link.

Blogging is also a popular use of the mobile web. Instead of waiting until you get home to create a blog post about an interesting trip or something that happened to you, it can be done right where you are. Advertising links can be added within blog posts doubling the chance that someone will click on it.

Because of the small screen size, when you buy advertising on the mobile web, you have autonomy. There is no room for several ads on one page even with a larger screen. Space is of the essence and your ads will be seen by more people without competition.

More people than ever are making purchases online. It is quick, easy and affordable with many sites offering low priced or free shipping. When mobile versions of their favorite websites are created, advertising that fact further increases revenue. No longer do shoppers have to wait for a fixed Internet connection, but can use the mobile site wherever they are.
