Did you know that mobile friendly and responsive websites seems to get better traction than the non-responsive and non-mobile ready sites ?
Take note. Important changes have been employed at many search engine's (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc) search results' ranking formula.
As a matter of fact, Google declared that as of the 21st of April, they'll start embracing mobile friendly websites in their search results compared to the lesser mobile friendly/ready websites. In fact, Google has stated that "...users can realize it is easier to induce relevant, high-quality search results that are optimized for his or her respective devices."
Well, in case you are not aware of it. The changes that are being employed by the search engine giant called Google, can have an effect on searches worldwide, in almost every single language and country.
Some time back, many Internet marketers and gurus have reported that for the first time ever, over 500th of traffic to e-commerce websites are currently coming from mobile devices. Therefore, it is no surprise that Google is paving the way in a bigger effort to dish out results that give a far better expertise for the searcher based on the device being used.
Let's take a look at how you can brace yourself for these changes.
If you have a website (e-commerce sites included), Google recommends following these steps to confirm that your website is fully prepared in anticipation of the forthcoming changes :
