Only 11% Said There Were Traffic Changes Since Google's Mobile Friendly Update

google mobile resultsThe Google mobile friendly update was one of the most talked about updates prior to it being released (well, Google doesn't pre-announce stuff like this) and truth is, it was barely talked about after its release. Why? Well, the ranking changes and traffic changes, to most, were unrecognizable.

Only 11% said in our poll, which had a thousand responses, that the mobile friendly update resulted in changes in their traffic or rankings in Google. Only 11%!

65% said there were no real changes at all. 11% said only sometimes and 13% were still unsure a week or so after it was released!

I don't think the poll would change much today, in fact, I think that 65% number would be closer to 75% or 80%.

Disclaimer: Please see my poll disclaimer post before coming to any conclusions on these results.
