Make Your Website Mobile-Friendly With Google’s GoMo

Did you know that nearly half of all adults in Australia, United States and United Kingdom have smartphones?

In a previous article we have already described the importance of having a mobile-friendly website. We have also seen that only less than 10% of the web is optimised for mobile phones.

Interesting facts about smartphones:

1. There are more than 1 billion smartphones in the world
2. People aged 25-35 have the highest smartphone penetration rate
3. Adults consume more news on their smartphones than on print
4. 95.2% of smartphone users are accessing the internet daily spending and average of 71 minutes surfing

Google was always a big supporter of mobile technology, especially since the release of its own smartphone operating system Android. And now Google has created a platform for all people or businesses who want to optimise their online presence for mobile phones – HowToGoMo.com.
