The problem is that the way many sites handle visitors who arrive on a mobile device is incompatible with the search engines. The search engines don’t use a mobile device to crawl the web. If your site sends the Google (or Bing) robot to your main content, all your mobile content never makes it into the search engine index, and thus doesn’t appear in the search results.

“Normally” mobile results would be high on Google’s search results for people who search from a mobile device, but not if Google never saw it.

The code required to get your results to show up isn’t trivial. That’s why White Wave Media has just released the WP Media Sitemap plugin to address this problem. Its code complies with Google’s complex guidelines of how to create visible mobile web conytent, so your content gets indexed and people actually start finding it, ranked higher because it’s mobile-specific, in Google search results.

And, WP Media Sitemap replaces any other site map plugins you may have, because it also creates a video sitemap and an image sitemap. So your life gets simpler while it gets better.

Your own site needs a good site map plugin, but you also can use the developer’s version of the plugin to spruce up sites for clients so they get better Google rankings.

You have 3 license choices, depending on your need: single site, personal multiple sites and developer. Most people are buying the developer license for the sake of flexibility, which is just $20 more than the multiple personal sites license.
