Hi everyone! Hope you had a great and productive week. Maile Ohye, Developer Programs Tech Lead of Google´s webmasters support team, released several videos for mobile website improvement. In addition, Google has put out a mobile checklist for better understanding on how to go about making your websites more friendly for smartphone users.
Maile goes over several issues, from “stop frustrating your customers”, Mobile loading Speed, to verifying your mobile site on Google Webmaster Tools.

On Bing´s front, this week, Duane Forrester posted a quick review of what’s important to focus on, and why it’s important to stay focused on impressing your customer. He starts by outlining some of the top things business owners (including webmasters) should be investing time in. These include, basic SEO, Social Media, Content and Usability, among other things. The post also provides some useful links to resources that I highly recommend reading:

I hate to admit, but I have not been checking my sites for mobile compatibility. Something I shouldn’t be ignoring. My wordpress sites run responsive theme’s, but I need to verify.
Thanks for the post, time to get to work for me 🙂
