Skweezer Sees Rapid Growth in Mobile Search Traffic
Mobile search traffic on Skweezer has increased by half over the last five-month period.
IRVINE, Calif., September 9, 2008—Skweezer, Inc. today announced that Web searches on its Skweezer portal (www.skweezer.com), which optimizes Web content for mobile devices, has increased 52% since the beginning of Q2 2008.
The Skweezer portal allows visitors to enter either a Web address or search terms into the Skweezer Home page and then loads either the search results or the target Web page, which is reformatted for the mobile environment. While Web browsing traffic has grown consistently over the same period, users accessing Skweezer's search platform has climbed dramatically since mid-April.
Skweezer's search traffic comes from a diverse group of carriers, most of which are based in the United States. Customers from AT&T and Verizon generated the most mobile search requests from Q2 2008 to the present. Alltel and T-Mobile customers provided less search traffic than the top two referrers, however their search traffic on Skweezer grew that fastest over the same time period, up 45% and 39% respectively.
"Many carriers don't offer a Web search feature that meets their customers' needs, which creates a huge opportunity for companies like Skweezer," said Skweezer, Inc. president Mark Sieve. "Skweezer monetizes its mobile search with sponsored listings and CPC ads, so we see this as a double-win in terms of increasing both revenue and customer base."
A recent poll of Skweezer users focusing on mobile search found the following:
- 84% of users surveyed claimed to use mobile search on a daily basis
- 79% of the participants believed that being able to search the Web on a mobile device as "Very Important"
- 72% of users preferred to use Skweezer as their primary mobile search service because of the integrated content mobilization technology
- 69% of users surveyed complained that their "wireless carrier does not offer an adequate search platform"
Over 1,100 Skweezer users participated in the Mobile Search Survey, which was run between July 7th and July 31st, 2008.
Skweezer is a free service that optimizes Web pages and searches for use on PDAs and cell phones. Mobile Internet users access Skweezer by visiting www.skweezer.com, then use the portal as a "wireless gateway" to browse and search the Web. Skweezer compresses and reformats content being downloaded, so that it loads faster, looks better, and is easier to navigate.

Skweezer helps me do my online banking easily and strips out all the "extra"
stuff that doesn't work anyway. Great tool!
