Sometimes doing a bad redirect may be harmfull to the ranking. To avoid this the Affiliate should follow a set of simple rules

- Have a mobile version of their site and use banners, tab links and other
- When doing a redirect look for a google-friendly provider, a provider that complies with the following requirements:
- Implement redirect so that it is not seen as Cloaking. Mobile bots should be redirected the same way mobile handsets are redirected
- Redirect to a customized mobile site :
o Custom DNS
o Whitelabel : custom logo, page title, page description
- Avoid redirect in the US

Affil4You provides all this and will provide more and more tools allowing you to monetize safely your mobile audience. Sending traffic to a broker seeking the highest immediate revenue is not really an ideal long term solution.

I might also add one more rule you may want to follow...

Don?t send traffic to a mobile page that pushes malware apps (specially on Android). Make sure that the destination pages are verified with antivirus tools by you or your affiliate program.

joey,

the issue with ALL brokers is that the end point changes randomly, thus all users do not have a similar experience. due to bidding changing where the traffic actuals ends up at. there is no way to work around that with a mobile redirect, unless you have a single place that it all goes. (this is in the case of mobile redirects)

i do however 100% agree that the only way to properly manage mobile in the long term is to build a proper mobile site and stock it with banners much like you would a desktop site.

I can't argue with you on that...it is a bit of a chase at the end of the day. However, the long term end-game is what people should really be focusing, just like you said :)

Anyone was de-indexed with some other broker than plugrush yet?
