Because the engines often favor aged content, and mobile SEO has just taken off in the past several years, the search engines aren’t always the first places to look when it comes to looking for good mobile SEO information. These are resources I recommend for consistently good information on mobile SEO. In order to be included here the resource must be a recognized expert in mobile search engine optimization or have a page or site devoted to making search engine-friendly mobile web sites that is regularly updated. I’ve also included some links to sites on mobile development and mobile analytics because of the synergy with mobile SEO. For a complete list of resources, for all things Natural Search and Mobile SEO, please see my del.icio.us bookmarks.For blogs that I follow, please see my Technorati profile. Finally, if you see a site that should be included on this list and is mobile SEO-related (i.e. not mobile advertising, general mobile search, general mobile marketing or mobile news), please list it in the nofollowed comments. If I agree, I’ll include it here permanently.
See my SearchWiki comments for mobile SEO search results for reviews of many of these sites.
