In the last couple of years, Mobile Web has emerged as a concept that presents the “web on the go” with dramatic development in its size and technologies. The first entry point for any mobile website is through its Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A URL plays a major part of any website interface. With appropriate URL addresses, websites can be located and remembered easily. In this paper we first discuss the different approaches used by desktop websites regarding the construction of their mobile websites’ URLs. Then we present the results of manually analyzing a set of 100 mobile websites to identify and distill the most commonly used URL patterns in these websites
