Ok noobs and everyone else I'm going to help you out a little bit on brandability side of things but this method will only work if you are using videos on your site, your entire site doesn't have to be all videos like most of mine hell even if you have ONE single video on your website you can easily do this to increase your website brand and to hopefully gain some more traffic.

Over these last few days I've been noticing that a few visitors of mine have found my site with there cell phone, who knows those visits may have came from WickedFire members but then again they might not have.

Upon seeing this I remembered reading so many articles of how cell phones will quickly become a decent player in the way people view the web, so you should not loose out on this type of traffic, most cell phones use whats known as GSM, actually almost every new cell phone will have GSM unless your in a small town like me and your service providers are cheep ass bitches but back on topic.

These phones can play a movie file type which is called .3GD and .3GD2 so what you do is you take your video (Download it if you don't already have it on your hard drive) and then convert it to this format and allow your website visitors to download the video directly onto there cell phone (Make sure your website URL is somewhere in that video though).

If you want an easy solution to download movies onto your computer there is a really good firefox plugin called Sothink Web Video Download

Download that and then do a simple search for any .3GD converter there are tons and tons but you might end up spending like $30 bucks for a really good one.

I was going to get into talking about how to optimize your site for a mobile device because I already did up my mobile site, if you have a cell phone check it out just type in www . cutesexywomen . com into your cell and you should see 3 100px by 100px images and when clicked you'll notice my little message so its nothing special but it still gives brand awareness to the mobile community.

What I really wanted to do was allow mobile users to be able to watch my videos on my site on there cell phones just like how www.m.youtube.com does but upon my research I realized that there is no other real solution to stream the videos other then to have your own server software running in order to do it, at this point its just too much hassle to deal with and easier to just wait a little until a more valid solution comes up or maybe when I'm board I'll figure something out.

Anyway why even stop there with your videos see if a few people download the video to there phone then there is a very very very good chance they will show that video to there friends, but think why not create a few other formats and allow your website visitors to download that video to the Apple Ipod and the Microsoft Zen, again these converters can easily be found on Google and when someone puts your video on another mobile device there is a very large chance that they will show there friends the videos and so on and so on.

So just because you create a video and spread it around the web doesn't mean it has to stop there, think mobile devices, even some PDAs should now have the abillity to all play videos.

So there you go just a little something to help you out and to help get your website brand out there a bit more.
