In some niches the top rankings aren't even mobile. Some even with pretty outdated looking sites. :cow04:

Didn't one of Google's search engine engineers say it would be one of their most significant updates ?

ummm you realize that the mobile update only affects mobile queries, right? Searching for your competitors on your desktop isn't doing you any favors.

Mobile and desktop results on some niches are way different. And whoever does IM or has a website the responsive design is a must from years ago. But i see a lot of people paying only attention in rankings and not converting visitors into money.

66% of my traffic is mobile and tablets.

So if my theme is not responsive and friendly mobile my CTR would be like loww down.

Jesus, it's 2015. and it's mobile time, you can't use huge html templates for websites anymore.

The update was fairly minimal. In one niche I use I saw a difference of #11 on desktop to #9 on mobile devices. That isn't much. On other terms there is zero difference.

Going mobile is good, but given that the effect right now is minimal and that mobile traffic typically converts like shit I see no reason to get too worried for those who can't afford to make the switch yet. Not at the moment at least.

If a website isn't mobile-friendly you're just flat-out missing on possible converts.

GOTTA PUT YOUR EGGS IN DIFFERENT BASKETS, MAYUN.

Here's something interesting i saw when testing things yesterday, a lot of large seo and marketing sites pages fail the mobile test like Moz.com, SEOBook.com, QuickSprout etc. Even Matt Cutts own blog failed with a score of 60.
