    Effective Measure SEA regional director, Russell Conrad, said, "The increasing number of web pages being viewed on mobile points to a growing, tech-savvy Malaysian audience.

    "With over 30% of Malaysians polled saying they access the Internet from their mobile phones, we expect to see a steady increase in page views from mobile looking ahead- in line with the introduction of better broadband connectivity and low price point smartphones.

    Number of page views from mobile in other South East Asian countries in September:


    • Indonesia: 85 million
    • Philippines: 25 million
    • Singapore: 26 million
    • Thailand: 69 million
    • Vietnam: 22 million

    "The Internet knows no boundaries - advertisers and online publishers should explore the opportunities in producing mobile-friendly content, if they have not done so already," said Conrad.

    Consumer electronic sites most viewed on mobile

    Consumer electronics and technology websites in Philippines were the most viewed on mobile - with a significant 12% of web pages in this category viewed on mobile devices in September, a 7% increase from the 'All Categories' monthly average.

    Conrad said: "Consumer electronic sites performed well above all categories, highlighting the Filipino audience's keen interest in electronic products.

    "With almost 40% of Filipinos polled saying they access the Internet from their mobile phones, we expect to see a steady increase in page views from mobile across more categories looking ahead - in line the increasing popularity of newly released smartphones such as iPhone 4S.
