WebmasterWorld Newsletter
We have three main topics to mention this month: Google's Phantom "Quality" update, Google's Mobile update reflections, and a beautiful new look to WebmasterWorld.
In the last few weeks WebmasterWorld members were reporting an update of sorts going on, and with Google's new way of not announcing updates we were first to spot the SERPs movement. Clearly, the best place to find out what's going on is by crowdsourcing on WebmasterWorld and joining the members with your feedback. These are real-world news and updates from your peers, so it's valuable to monitor, and even better to participate.
With the Google mobile update having passed the launch date, many webmasters have been assessing the impact on their sites and traffic. Join our discussions on the topic, and let's hear your experiences since the update kicked in on April 21, 2014.
Of course, there's lots more news and discussion on WebmasterWorld, and this newsletter highlights some of the hottest topics since our last newsletter.
Blowing our own trumpet: We're officially announcing the new responsive design for WebmasterWorld, which is mobile-friendly to help our membership stay in touch on the latest topics and news while on-the-go. With the smartphone friendly design, we also took the step to move to https. Obviously, lots of aspects have changed, and I'd encourage you to take a look around and to join in the hot debates. The new design has been well-received by our regular members, and is attracting many others that really like the modern approach we've taken to WebmasterWorld forums. Tell us what you think in our threads on the topic, and we look forward to seeing you on the forums. As ever, we really do welcome your feedback.
We're Feeling Lucky
Jim and Neil
