The term “SEO” has been changing drastically and the search engines have been demanding some significant alterations to be made to be recognized in the market. Optimization is important to survive in the competition of the rising business developments. With all these key aspects in mind, here are few important trends that have to be incorporated into any business website. Revolutionized use of exact keywords Google AdWords will not concentrate on the amount of keywords that are distributed with the content, but an importance will be laid on what the customers are wanting to see. While the contents will be rich in the form of images and text, it has to be used to bring audiences to the web page that is advertised. Banning spam SEO practices All the black hat practices will be abolished and Google has laid an importance to using the relevant links for describing the services that are mentioned in the content. All the low quality websites and advertisements will not be entertained curbing the increasing number of spams. Improvised mobile and voice search Every website should be compatible with the smartphones and tablets that are available in the market. This is because, many people prefer searching on their handheld devices other than computers.
Yes. A mobile version is strongly recommended, but for BIG sites (Like Facebook, Twitter, etc.). For blogs, I don't think it's necessary, moreover I don't even think it would help you for SEO!
Making your website responsive will atleast make sure that the visitors coming on your website does not drop off immediately.
I feel that it is mandatory for blogs to be mobile friendly as they are a immediate source of income as well as that dignifies our reputation about our doings and creativeness. If a visitor from mobile/any other device is bouncing due to irregular or inappropriate serving platform , its only me (blogger) who is losing.
