The document discusses creating an SEO-ready mobile presence. It notes that responsive design has pros like a single URL and analytics view, but cons like slow performance on some devices. Tips for responsive design include keeping the mobile experience simple with important information upfront. Case studies show that responsive design can increase key metrics like mobile visits, pageviews, and organic traffic. The future may involve making sites more "app-like" as mobile time is increasingly spent in apps rather than browsers.

- A bit about me and illuminea – how I got started in business and WP
- To find out, let’s look at the numbers to see how people react to mobile sites.
- Samsung S IV has 95% bounce rate, spends 3 seconds on site. Something is wrong!
- In the stats I looked at, tablet behavior was almost identical to that of desktop
- Tablets lead the way in online purchases: smartphones drove 21.3% US online traffic, nearly double that of tablets at 12.8%.But tablets drove 11.5% of all online sales, more than twice that of smartphones, which accounted for 5%. Tablet users also averaged $118.09 per order, versus $104.72 per order on smartphone. (IBM)
- Renault Israel main site. Starts playing music after about 20 seconds. Yikes!
- we spend an average of 158 minutes each and every day on our smartphones and tablets. Two hours and seven minutes of that is in an app, and only 31 minutes is in a browser. Eighteen percent of all the time that Americans spend on their phones is spent in the Facebook app, a figure that by itself dwarfs all other social networking apps.
- Answers.comlaunched a redesigned mobile site in March 2013that allows users to swipe the screen to get answers to questions. Mobile overall now represents half of all Answers page views and a third of its unique users.
