What's This All About!? This week, specifically on April 21, Google has started to implement a new algorithm specifically geared towards search engine results on mobile devices. The easiest way I can explain it, is that Google is now checking to make sure websites are responsive (or 'mobile friendly'.)

Today we’ve got a new ‘guest writer!’ He’s an old friend who I get together with every once in a while and discuss marketing, social media, the internet, music and a bunch of other stuff! His name is Seth W. I recently subscribed to Seth’s newsletter and his latest article was perfect!
