YOU AREN’T READY…

• A recent 2012 Mongoose Metrics study of the top 1 Million Websites found that:

– Smartphone market share is now at 44% and it is expected to increase to over 52% by 2014

– mobile search currently represents approximately 9% of all searches

– Of the 1 million websites examined in this study, only 9% were deemed mobile ready


WHAT IS MOBILE READY?

• A specific mobile version of a website– Not a one size fits all

ARE THEY WILLING TO WAIT?

• A 2011 Compuware Survey found:

– 71% of global mobile web users expect websites to load as quickly, almost as quickly or faster on their mobile phone compared to the computer they use at home

– Nearly 60% of web users say they expect a website to load on their mobile phone in three seconds or less

– 74% are only willing to wait five seconds or less for a single mobile web page to load before leaving the site.


APPROACHES TO MOBILE WEB SITES

• Separate Mobile Sub-Domain from main website – usually with device detect redirects to mobile pages


RESPONSIVE WEB DESIGN

Responsive web design: A website that responds to the device (or window size) that accesses it and delivers the appropriate output for it uses responsive design. Rather than designing multiple sites for different-sized devices, this approach designs one site but specifies how it should appear on varied devices.


GOOGLE PREFERS RESPONSIVE DESIGN


BING PREFERS RESPONSIVE DESIGN


IF YOU CAN’T DO RESPONSIVE DESIGN YET

• If you have equivalent mobile and desktop pages you need to give search engines a way to know they are connected

• Annotations in HTML code (sometimes called switchboard tags) can accomplish this

• On the desktop page, add a special link rel="alternate" tag pointing to the corresponding mobile URL. This helps Googlebot discover the location of your site's mobile pages.

– <link rel="alternate" media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)" href="http://m.example.com/page-1" >

• On the mobile page, the required annotation should be:– <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/page-1" >

• You can also accomplish the same thing in your site’s XML sitemaps:
