  • An Eye on the Losers: - If you pick up any two like tested.com or webs.com you can clearly discover that the pages are not optimized for mobile devices. It may also appear that the desktop visibility is increasing while there is a downfall of mobile visibility. Many of such domains have strong home page presentation, but they are not visible on the mobile screen. Moreover, after considering all such issues, Mobilegeddon has provided the scorecard.
  • An Eye on the Winners: - The scenario is totally opposite to the winners. It is very simple that these sites are completely optimized for mobile devices. You can pick up any two of them and check with Google mobile friendly test. The instance can be made with encyclopedia.com or washingtontes.com. As these sites are appreciated for mobile uses, there will surely be better mobile visibility than desktop visibility regarding the winners.
  • Mobile Suitability as a Ranking Factor: - It has been found that 16 percent of the total top SEO visibility domains are not optimized for mobile. Google has announced the fact earlier and now it has been practically experienced. Remarkably, it has been found that some of such domains have already lost ranking. So, it can be said that Mobilegeddon will be the hunter of the sites in case of mobile suitability.
Conclusion: - These changes of mobile visibility will surely have a great impact on the mobile update and the respective sites have to start the campaign as early as possible to sustain in the market. Though, there is no impact over the desktop search or visibility, the business owners have to take the matter seriously as mobile suitability has become the ranking factor.
