Mobile-only web traffic is growing extraordinarily fast. Many leading web publishers feel the growth, as consumers increasingly access website content from both desktops and mobile devices.
According to a new comScore report, mobile-only web traffic comprises at least 20% of the publisher’s total digital audience. What is critically important about this growing trend is that common desktop display advertising won’t be delivered to these mobile-only visitors. Their number in now the tens of millions.
