Mobile SEO
-
Hello,
A bit of an open question to start the week...
What do you think are the key differences between Google's mobile search and web search algorithms?
Obviously greater importance on site speed for mobile search!?

Slow loading is if you have multiple uncompressed resources, but if your site is crawled then it will show to user, it is his decision if he will wait to open the site, maybe if there are 2 sites 1 is better optimised and slow and the other is faster but bad optimized, the advantage will have the one that is better optimized, if they are the same in optimization then there is the probability that google gives the priority to the fastest- in google webmastertools there is a tool that calculates the ownloading speed of the page.

Thanks Cocarcea Ion,
I'm sure the algorithms contain the same components but Google must give greater importance to some of those components and less to others depending on whether it is a web search or mobile search.
Surely if you have a site that is quite slow to load on a mobile device but fine with a proper internet connection Google would not display it as high in mobile search results?!

Google webmaster tools have the test tool to check if your website is accesible for mobile search, when you develop a site, and if you want it to be accessible for all mobiles then you have to build a wap version of it, but it is ok if you build the site to web 2.0 standards most of the phones iphones etc have a html compatible browser in them.
The search algoritms I think are the same :).

38% of SEOs Never Disavow Links: Are you one among them or the other 62%?
Hi all, Links disavowing is such a advanced tasks in SEO with decent amount of risk involved. I thought many wouldn't follow use this method as Google been saying that they try to ignore bad links and there will be no penalty for such bad links and negative SEO is really a rare case. But I wondered to see only 38% SEOs never used this method and other 62% are disavowing links monthly, quarterly or yearly. I just wonder do we need to disavow links now? It's very easy to say to disavow a link which is not good but difficult to conclude them whether they are hurting already or we will get hurt once they been disavowed. Thanks Screenshot_3.jpg

Old school SEO tools / software / websites
Hey Mozzers, I am doing some research and wonder if you can help me out? Before Moz, Hubspot, Majestic, Screaming Frog and all the other awesome SEO tools we use today what were the SEO tools / software / websites that were used for aiding SEO? I guess we can add the recently closed Yahoo! Directory for starters! Thanks!

Thoughts on Google's Autocomplete hurting organic SEO?
A client sent over an article about how Google's Autocomplete eliminates your chance for clicks. Saying that if your competitor is higher than you, the user will bypass the page one organic rank and click on a specific business from the autocomplete which in turn presents an entire page one result for that business. So in a sense they are wondering why they're doing organic SEO if potential customers are just going to bypass the page one organic results. I would love to hear thoughts from like minded people on this as I have to start proving my case with articles, facts, data, and research.

Will Russia's New Data Protection Law Impact SEOs and SMBs Outside of Russia?
We've all seen the news recently that Google will be closing its engineering offices in Russia due to new data protection laws coming into place in January 2015. The same law has also led to Adobe pulling out of Russia earlier in the year. I was wondering how you think this will impact SEOers and small/medium businesses that market _to _Russia, but are based outside of the country? Personal data has been defined in the new legislation as: Personal data means any information directly or indirectly related to any identified or potentially identifiable person. It includes, among other things, first name and family name, date and place of birth, address, information about family status, education, profession, income Source For those businesses which don't process personal data (affiliates etc), will there be any foreseeable impact? On the flipside, are there any benefits here for affiliate businesses inside of Russia? I'm using affiliates as an example to get the ball rolling, but I'm sure there's numerous more. Personally, I'd be interested to hear if you think this may impact corporate websites which don't process personal data, but operate outside of Russia.

Do Explainer Videos Help SEO?
My company makes explainer videos. I often come across a lot of (seemingly) inflated & unprovable stats, pertaining to explainer videos, from other companies. This article claims that "Having an explainer video on your web page makes it 53% more likely to show up on the first page of Google search results" Is there any real data to back up such a claim? Do explainer videos really help SEO? How?
