The Cardinal Rules

Google started sounding the alarm in 2016.
They are Now putting teeth into their Mobile-First Initiative and sites that don't comply are being De-Listed.

If you haven't made significant changes to your online presence in the past 6 months, your site is probably already starting to disappear from Google Searches.

Remember the 2016 Mogilegeddon Panic?

This was Google's first shot across the bow and it affected every business owner. An unfortunate results was the formation of 1,000's of so called "Go Mobile" companies with their quick fixes and S.E.O. Experts trying to Force Rankings.
Just below the Wall Street Journal explains why Google did this. All those S.E.O. Experts who try to force rankings are affecting Google's ad sales. Google doesn't like that and their retaliation is swift and fierce, as so many have already discovered in the Rules section below.

The Wall Street Journal
  • "95% of All Local Searches are now from Mobile Devices." 
  • "49% of Mobile Users will Leave if a page takes longer than 2 seconds to load." 
  • "The Majority of Web Surfers are now Mobile Only, Rarely using a P.C."
  • "Over 80% of businesses who have made the step to Mobile are doing it wrong, significantly hurting their business." 
  • "Nearly 90% of Mobile Visitors will leave immediately if:
    - They must Zoom in and out to view.
    - The navigatin bar is hard to read or find.
    - The type doesn't adjust to their individual device,
    - There is No video on the first page."
  • "75% leave if the site is merely size-converted, not optimized for their device."  
  • "80% immediately leave the 'Shrink up' and 'Redirect to mobile' sites.
  • "The 'Shrink up' and Redirect to mobile' sites are now being de-listed!" 
  • "A poorly designed mobile website is worse than none at all." 
  • "The Expensive, Fancy, Graphic Designer sites of old are not only obsolete they negatively effect the mobile experience and are being de-listed." 
  • "The Template style sites have not only lost their appeal, they don't render well on mobile and are being de-listed."
It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN your site will be affected if you have ANY of the Criteria above.

Those that have already been affected in a Major Way are sites that feature: 
Wordpress - Template Based - Graphic Designer - Godaddy - Redirect to Mobile
Mobile Adapted - Mobile Converted - Shrink to Fit Mobile

The Google GoMo Iniative.

Google No Longer uses Keywords

Here is Matt Cutts, Google Software Engineer.

If you are geing called by so called "SEO Experts" and they mention helping you with your Keywords, you are about to be scammed.  Google stopped using keywords EIGHT years ago!

Algorithm Changes

Google has an aggressive campaign of changing their algorithms to prevent any company from Forcing artificial Rankings. The tricks these online scammers try to employ actually become devastating to the business owner.

When you break the rules to force rankings, Google will find out and that could result in your site being De-Listed.

Google Owns YouTube

Google is gearing their entire system towards preference to sites that are MOBILE and have YouTube Video.
The MOBILE part is Critical.
These Rules of Engagement will make or break your business.
You are already beginning to see it. Noticed the little video boxes that are starting to appear on some searches?

Geared towards Quality

Many companies are just slapping up a poorly done video in an attempt to comply.
This Backfires!
Google not only looks for Video, they look for Engagement and if your video isn't getting traffic, that ends up being worse than having no video at all.


Google "Massacre"

Google has decided to fully inmplement the most dangerous warnings about un-protected websites, their Google Massacre patch. It's INEVITABLE.
It's a speeding train headed right for all businesses. Google initially decided to "soft launch" their changes, a "carrot" approach. 
BUT, with the carrot approach not working like Google would like, now they're reaching for the stick...eventually all HTTP pages will be marked as non-secure with a red warning triangle NO ONE can miss.
