Half the top 20 top Web sites ranked by Nielsen Online are not optimized for the mobile Web, according to a survey by mobile software provider Bango. The company reports that many sites admit to not even knowing how much mobile-generated traffic they have.

With mobile users accounting for an average of 5% of all site traffic, Bango touts a new tool called Analytics for PCs that measures the actual number of mobile phone users hitting a wired site.

It also provides data on mobile visitors including the proportion of mobile traffic in unique visitors as well as the country, network and device that mobile users connect through.--Mark Walsh
