Routes values not passing in Html.ActionLink attribute in MVC 4

Question

I want to pass an id like a string to my action method , I am doing like this

 <li>@Html.ActionLink("Nokia Lumia Series", "Mobiles", "Products", new { id = "Lumia" })

and here is my action method

public ActionResult Mobiles(string name)
        {
            return View();
        }

but it is not going on that action and this url is shown in browser tab

http://mymobiles.com/Home/Mobiles?Length=8

What I am doing wrong here??

You are using an incorrect overload of ActionLink. You should use this overload:

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(
    this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
    string linkText,
    string actionName,
    string controllerName,
    Object routeValues,
    Object htmlAttributes
)

Your code then becomes, I also changed your parameter name to make it more clear:

@Html.ActionLink("Nokia Lumia Series", "Mobiles", "Products", new { name = "Lumia" }, null)
