Mobile sales have now achieved an annual run rate of £120,000, with sales in August/September 2011 up 800% on the same two months of 2010.

In the latest sales average transaction value for mobile devices is 20% higher than for static devices.

PPC conversion costs are much higher than for sales via desktop and laptop computers. Bounce rates for mobile searches are much higher. Our latest data for the iPhone shows a bounce rate in excess of 52% when the site average for all visitors is in thmid 30s. But it is important to learn about mobile search as its continued growth demonstrtes it will become a major ecommerce platofrm.
