Google’s New Rules on Mobile-Friendly Sites

And How it Affects You.

April 21st Deadline To Get Mobile Friendly

Is your website mobile-friendly?
Starting April 21st, Google has announced an update to their mobile based search algorithm which will give a higher ranking to those with mobile-friendly sites and will be downgrading those without. As a result, mobile users will notice their search results to be more relevant and optimized for their devices. This change is great news for mobile users, as it may urge more and more sites to convert, but it may cause a sizable impact to businesses with outdated sites if they lose this mobile ranking. Many businesses are learning that visitors coming to their websites are on mobile devices. Upon further review it becomes evident that mobile searches have increased from 27% to over 47% in the past two years. Having a responsive website design, coded to adapt to all screen sizes regardless of whether a visitor is using a mobile device or a desktop computer, will give your business a competitive edge.

How can this change have a positive effect on your business?
Complying with Google’s new mobile-friendly requirements opens a rare opportunity for businesses to gain more market share, in terms of search ranking, from their competitors. Responsive websites that can accommodate the new algorithm will be shown above other noncompliant sites and in the long run, this higher ranking will direct more traffic their way. Usually companies pay thousands of dollars a month on campaigns to gain top rankings in search results. After April 21st, even small businesses have the chance to be placed above their competition without having to break their budgets.

So how can you ensure that your business’s website is ready?
Luckily Google has given its partners some tools to use in preparation for their upcoming changes. Contact the professional team of web developers at Skynet Solutions to review your website’s mobile-friendly readiness and make certain your customers can find you when they need you the most.

Website Launch: OK Headache Relief

Here at Skynet, we’re celebrating another successful website launch. This time, it’s a promotional site for a local headache relief expert and dentist.  The site was a doozy, coming in at 13 pages. But thanks to our content management system, EasyCMS, we were able to create a template and knock out those pages very efficiently.  Despite having 13 pages, the overall user experience and simplicity is among the best. With a contact form on almost every page, it’s easy to find what you want and set up an appointment. So go check it out at http://headachereliefok.com !

Lenovo Laptops with Adware Pre-installed

China’s Lenovo Group Ltd is in an awkward situation. It recently came out that Superfish, a piece of software that Lenovo had been pre-installing on consumer laptops, is malicious adware.

Superfish had been reported on Laptops as early as last June. However it wasn’t until Thursday, February 19th, that U.S.-based security research firm Errata Security declared Superfish malicious and dangerous to users. It is reported that the adware hijacks and opens encrypted connections, allowing hackers to eavesdrop.

This should be a warning to you – Even large, trusted companies can create dangerous situations regarding your personal information. Keep your computer clean and safe, and have it checked by professionals regularly!

WordPress Security Flaw Exploited

As we all know, WordPress provides people a cheap and easy route to getting a website. However, you get what you pay for with these things, and this is a classic example of that.

Zero-Day Viruses infected users through Insecure WordPress Plugin

One of WordPress’s most popular plugins, “FancyBox” had gone un-updated for nearly two years, leaving it open for attackers to inject malicious scripts into websites using the plugin. This redirected victims to “203koko” websites, infecting their computers.

This was discovered on Wednesday, February 4th. The next day, Thursday, the plugin was updated to secure it again.

However this should be a good warning to you. With a CMS like wordpress and the variety of third party plugins, you never really know if what you’re getting is secure. Going through a professional web design firm that uses its own code and CMS will generally ensure that you’re getting constantly updated and safe content.

Don’t cheap out on your website! Play it safe.
