    Mobilegeddon is having an effect

    According to Stone Temple Consulting who did a before Mobilegeddon and after (April 17, 2015) in Google Search Rankings there is a significant drop in Google Search rankings for websites that aren’t mobilefriendly.  See post below for the comments on how they did the study. 

    What does that mean for you?

    What does your website look like on a mobile phone? Does it respond and decrease in size to fit the phone screen or do you have to scroll to see all of the blog post?  If you have to scroll then you don’t have a mobile responsive screen and you should consider getting a new theme!

    Mobilegedon

    Mobilegedon was defined in April 2015 because Google+ decided it was going to give priority in Google Search for mobile friendly (as defined by Google) websites.  There were tests that developers and website owners could use to see how friendly their website is for mobile.  

    If you are thinking of a getting a new website, look for one that is , at least, mobile responsive.  HTML websites are not the website of the future. More people are looking at websites on their smartphone to find places to eat, compare prices or find a business on a map so you have to make sure your website is mobile friendly if you want to have people look for your business on the internet.

    Have you heard that Google Search will be recognizing mobile responsive websites in April? 


    There is a test at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/ where you can add your URL.  It will tell you how mobile responsive your website is and what is holding you back! 


    For example, some of my images were too large and slowing things down, some CSS code and other things. 


    Well at the bottom of the page, Google will optimize these images and files for mobile and give you a Zipped file!  Wow!

    MORE MOBILE

     

    Thanks to +David Amerland for this conversation share from +Padraig Ó Raghaill .

    This is true. Why aren’t more authors having an app created that people can download to their phone where they have easy availability to the authors blog and books and chat?

    iTunes has Apple magazine apps but there are only 5000 magazines over there.  They are easy to create and send out your message there !

    The future is mobile so have you even thought about apps for your business.

    I have and plan to create a magazine app since I don’t need to know the technology, all i need is to create the content.
