    I really appreciate your last line “Inbound Marketing Relies on Trial and Error.” As it is SEO and Internet Marketing are long term commitments and you need to plan to study your efforts for 6-12 months out to see what is working and what isn’t working. There is no one clear cut solution for all businesses. Some industries thrive on mobile web marketing while others (like B2B) haven’t carved out a niche in mobile yet. Each company is different, but you won’t know what is going to work for you unless you try it!
