So, as most of you know, for the past couple weeks our forum was set to a new theme for MOBILE FRIENDLY viewing and listing on search engines. I moved the site back to our regular STANDARD vbulletin look and feel for the last 2 days, and now once again today, I have moved us back to the MOBILE FRIENDLY theme where we will stay!
Over the course of the two weeks we were set on Mobile Friendly which is called “debutant” theme when you scroll down to bottom of our forum on the left you’ll see various themes where you can change the theme to whatever you want. But it is staying on mobile friendly debutant, and the two weeks we tested out debutant , our traffic here tripled for mobile users, and for those who dont understand the importance of this, MOBILE USERS or Mobile Viewing, makes up about 80% of all traffic on our site which matches the internets overall traffic and how its viewed!
So having our site listed as Mobile friendly due to us using this current theme “debutant” made a huge difference when google decided to role out yet another algorithm search engine crawl update right after we changed over, and we got super lucky, in that the new google update was all about “MOBILE FIRST INDEXING”
So if anyone has questions feel free to leave them here in a post reply.
If you experience any glitches, let me know here!!
On top of our traffic tripling for mobile users, our desktop traffic went up as well, and we also got an extra 4k NEW threads indexed.
So enjoy the forums, and please do not hesitate to reply with questions or concerns!
You can change the theme to whatever you prefer by scrolling down to bottom of our site and on the far left you can choose.
For those of you viewing on mobile, and you dont see all the features, simply turn your phone side ways and all the features will pop up like the “thank” and “Like” buttons on each post, and the top statistics at the top of the page etc.... I also understand those of you with very small smart phones will not see the features even when your phone is side ways, and that is a shame, as our site looks PHENOMINAL on most all smart phones, especially the size of iPhone plus
