As one of the features of its small business suite of services (e.g., webhosting), Yahoo is now making mobile websites available through DudaMobile. This is a coup for DudaMobile, which already has similar partnerships with Google and with OpenTable.
With these deals and the accompanying visibility DudaMobile becomes the de facto leader in SMB mobile website development and hosting. DudaMobile also recently announced the addition of mobile paid-search advertising to its services.
SMB services is an area where Yahoo has a pretty rich offering and some strength. Most of this is based on legacy webhosting. The company could, however, go much farther if it was willing to give some additional attention and resources to the effort.
