SEO numbers are in for April

April saw some pretty big jumps in web traffic for our clients. Dog Star Media SEO clients experienced a 6.6% increase in web traffic last month. That included some pretty big jumps by some clients and, for others, it meant the continuation of steady progress.

And, the story continues to be mobile device uses. Today Apple released news that the 1Millionth iPad was sold. And, today, following analysis of their SEO results, I had to inform two clients that they had reached the 5% mark (5% of site visitors coming on mobile devices), which is the point where you should have starter mobile site. One client jumped solidly up to the 10% mark. And, no one slid backwards on mobile devices referencing their site. It appears this trend is continuing and being reinforced by the new equipment that is out there.

We are offering a special this month on mobile sites that includes 5 additional pages on a starter 12-page mobile site. We have also loosened our restrictions and will now place three Before/After cases on a page. And, more and more clients continue to come to us for mobile sites right now. Mobile site orders are outpacing web site orders by a rate of 10-1 over the past two months.

If you are interested in starting a mobile site strategy, please let me know. You can contact me directly at donald@dogstarmedia.com.
