Since I have been following Google for the past 5 years, I’ve experienced their major algorithm updates and was glad to have surpassed those critical algo updates. Based from that 5 years, I never experienced Google announcing some algo update months before the update takes place. Usually, a lot of websites (those who has been in the grey area) would fall victim of these algorithm updates before the announcement. So, I was thinking that this update could have been rolling out but the effects were not that big yet.

Very interesting post, thanks for sharing. Certainly, a lot many sites will be under the lend of Google after 21st. I read somewhere it will be 40% websites affected because more then 40% are non-mobile friendly

Hi Anthony! You raise a valid point. Here’s my take on it: Let’s assume that anything Google does is motivated by revenue (shocker!). Being that mobile searches continue to grow (seemingly exponentially), so does advertisers’ mobile spend, and hence, Google’s revenue. As for AdSense sites, I’d agree that the increase in mobile traffic, coupled with display ad limitations, might not be so favorable. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if there is any backlash from users.

Google wants our mobile viewers to view a “mobile friendly” version of the site, but Google will only allow one display ad on mobile pages vs. allowing three display ads and two text ads per page on desktop versions of the site. How is this mobile friendly push good for revenue (for Google or us)?

In reply to WebbyMonks. Some crazy stats in there, WebbyMonks! Thanks for sharing your sweet infographic. All those numbers really brings the point home that most sites out there have some work to do to get their mobile experience in shape.
