The April 21st mobile-friendly update<\/em> by Google was one of the biggest recent updates.<\/p>\n

It created a lot of fear<\/span> buzz in the SEO, blogging, and digital marketing world.<\/p>\n

A lot of websites owners were really concerned about this update and the potential loss of traffic it could cause.<\/p>\n

Since April 21st<\/sup> Google has reported an increase of 4.7% mobile-friendly websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But has the dust settled?<\/p>\n

Well, not exactly.<\/p>\n

Despite Google saying that the update has now been \u201cfully rolled out\u201d, we haven\u2019t seen the end of it \u2026 not yet. There is a lot more to come.<\/p>\n

According to Bryson Meunier of Search Engine Land<\/a>, the \u201cmobilegeddon\u201d is just beginning, not ending.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the following chart, the latest mobile-friendly update by Google continues to change the amount of mobile traffic a website receives.<\/p>\n

\"SEO<\/a><\/p>\n

The above analysis is done by SEO Clarity<\/a>, and although the results are now becoming more stable, the difference is still noticeable in the overall percentage change.<\/p>\n

Now, the more important question is that are we done with the update?<\/p>\n

The simplest answer would be a big NO!<\/p>\n

Google may have rolled out this update on April 21, but this will continue to affect \u201cmobile-unfriendly\u201d websites in future. They have mentioned \u2014 somehow \u2014 that they will continue to tinker with the update and encourage more websites to come within the mobile-friendly zone.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s Gary Illyes also echoed the same thoughts on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\"Googles<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can guess, there is no reason to stop now.<\/p>\n

Google knows that the future is all about mobile devices, tablets, wearables, and smartphones. So they will continue to tweak their mobile-friendly factors and introduce new algorithms to make websites more mobile-friendly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Final Words<\/h2>\n

The bottom line is that if you haven\u2019t seen any drastic results after the 21st April update, don\u2019t think it is over.<\/p>\n

If you want to survive in this competitive online world within the top 10 Google results, you will have to make your website mobile-friendly and in complete compliance of the latest mobile-friendly updates. There is no other option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
