Why our website failed

Google’s Mobilegeddon

April 21st 2015 – Google Launch

the Mobile Friendly Update

Google starts promoting mobile optimised websites within the mobile search results.

Or you may know it as…

…Mobilegeddon

The day Google started demoting websites that are NOT optimised for mobiles.

Have you been hit by the

Google Mobilegeddon?

We have...

...but we are OK with that.

…and we’ve lost some rankings...

That doesn’t mean everyone should be.

We’re rebuilding our website and making

it responsive, which is why we can afford to

take a short term loss in rankings.

Plus, around 80% of our website traffic

comes from desktop users.

However, not everyone can afford a

drop in their mobile rankings.

How the update works - and why we failed

A simple “yes/no” algorithm that

decides if an individual web page is

optimised for mobile or not.

Pages shouldn’t use software that’s

incompatible with mobiles, such as Flash.

THIS IS GOOD

OL’FLASH

Content automatically resizes to the

screen, no need for horizontal scroll

There are

large links

with spaces

between

them for easy

tapping.

Open your website on a mobile device and follow the criteria mentioned ;

Use Google's mobile-friendly test;

Google yourself on a mobile device and look if the tag “mobile-friendly” appears next to your name.

How to check if you are at any risk

Or ask us to run a FREE website report that

goes above and beyond mobile!

We’ll help you be as calm as us.

Just send your URL to marketing@bit10.net and we’ll do the rest.
