Goggle is stepping up for better searches with new search algorithms to support you when you are using your smart phone. Google is trying to give us what we all want when searching for something… better site viewing on smart phones. The new algorithms were launched on April 21st.
When viewing sites with older web design on your phone, they just are not easy to view. You get scrollbars, the text is too small, you just see small areas on the site, which makes you miss things. Overall it is not a great experience. And if your site is flash based, it can’t be viewed on apple smart devices unless you have created a second html version of the site.
One of the newer ways to make sure your site is easy and friendly to all devices is the buzz word “Responsive Design”. This makes your site fit any monitor or smart device. One of the things that the new Google algorithm does is check to see if your site looks good on a cell phone. The great thing that responsive design does is stack the information when you are viewing sites on your cell phone so you just scroll down and it all fits. The question is, will your site still be found on Google if it is not mobile friendly… sure it will. Though it will be penalized and you will lose some standing, in other words they will show the mobile friendly sites first.
