nice....

ProTraffic still has a little mobile traffic left for sale. Not much though

[harvey]

Never tried it, will take a look. Below 3 pages I used for mobile coding

This one works like a charm and it's extremely easy to setup
http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/

another option (way more complete) that also uses WURFL datbase at http://www.brainhandles.com/techno-t...obile-browsers

there are some nice tricks and tips at http://mobiforge.com/developing/stor...-detection-php

One tip for whatever mobile detection script you use is to analyze your statistics (admob or google analytics or sever logs). Look at the traffic that you're sending off to a mobile page or ask your sponsor to provide their user agent stats to ensure it's working the way you want it to.

There is no 100% full proof method, scripts will either detect a little too little mobile, or could also detect way too much due to the parameters they look for. Not all devices call themselves out as "mobile" and if you look for a parameter too short it could cause too many false positives resulting in certain types of PC traffic being sent to a mobile device.

Our policy for topbucksmobile.com is to keep the detection script conservative versus risk anyone's PC traffic.
