Is your website mobile friendly? People are using their cell phones and other mobile devices to browse the web much more than in the past. It is important to make sure that your website is easy to navigate from a mobile browser, otherwise the short moment of time that you have to make a good impression and capture a visitor's interest could be lost.
There are many ways of making your website mobile friendly. If you are truly geeky, you might decide to let CSS be in charge of handling all our mobile reconfigurations. Or you can create new web pages to which you can redirect mobile traffic. Regardless of the way you decide to handle your mobile traffic, one thing has to happen: your website needs to detect that a mobile device is accessing the web site.
Here is a great little javascript I use to detect a mobile device and forward the traffic to my mobile web pages:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
To most of us, this looks like a bunch of gobbily-gook. Basically, this script is just a Regular Expression that is interrogating the User Agent information that is provided by the web browser making the request to the web server. What is most important is what you tell it to do if a match is found. In this case, one of the very last lines of code contains 'mobilebink.html'. This tells the script to navigate to the webpage mobilebink.html if a match is found, or in other words if a mobile device is detected.
If you want to use this, all you need to do is copy the script and place it after the <head> tags and before the <body> tags of your web page. It will look something like this:
With this script in place, a mobile device will navigate from this page:
to this page automatically and instantly before the original page is rendered:

It is a really nice idea amazing that your website too can track your mobile phone.
