Update on: Foxnews.mobi

As most people are aware foxnews.mobi has been the mobile website for Fox News for some years. They had a strange situation though where the domain redirected to the self-serving developers site at foxnews.proteus.com

foxnews.mobi is a hugely successful site. I only have some old stats from over a year ago, but they make very interesting reading. You see most domainers use alexa or compete only as their bible. They are useless for people who haven’t got those toolbars installed. Also they still cannot measure mobile traffic. A crazy situation to be in. Developers and domainer/ developers will tell you though from their awstats the traffic they are getting to their .mobi websites! See below for stats from foxnews.mobi

I say strange to redirect,as it did not benefit Fox and they were , and are, promoting foxnews.mobi 24/7 ,on television , in the corner of the screen. Also broadcasters are telling the public after news reports, to visit foxnews.mobi on Fox. It is not a redirect anymore, not that it truly mattered as was and is heavily promoted, see more below.

and promoted the .mobi site on their .com site also.

Well, it is no longer a redirect, it is a stand alone site as you will see when visiting the url foxnews.mobi

As an added bonus, when visitors visit : www.foxnews.com on a mobile device, they are redirected to foxnews.mobi !
