Is Your Book Blog Mobile Friendly? Google Update is Tomorrow!

Posted April 20, 2015 by Marsha in Discussion Post / 0 Comments

mobile phonesGoogle is rolling out another update to it’s algorithm tomorrow (April 21, 2015)  This one seems to be focusing on our sites being mobile friendly.  Can your site be read easily on a mobile phone, cell phone, tablet, etc.?  There are, of course, other things in this update as well.

But this needs attention now.  I just came back from checking all of my sites and all but one passed.  I’ve fixed the one that didn’t.  Blogger, WordPress, whatever platform you use – it does not matter.  This is across the board.  And important.  Not hype, not trying to get views here – I am trying to let those that read my blog know that there is a change coming and we need to be ready for it now.  It will affect traffic and page views if Google deems your site not mobile friendly.

There is an awesome post on BlogHer that addresses this – and the tool that I used to check my sites is available to anyone to use – that link is within the article..   Please take a moment and go read this post.  3 Things Bloggers Need To Do Before The Google Update Tomorrow.

Please, if only to educate yourself about what is going to happen tomorrow, go check out that post.  Maybe everything is already perfect on your site.  But isn’t it worth 2 minutes to check it out?
