Curious article on Mobile SEO and the new Google "Mobile-first Index"
Last Update: March 21, 2018
Hi, Team,
Just wanted to share with you an interesting text from Backlinko, regarding Mobile SEO, which becomes more and more important, as Google recently rolled out their "Mobile-first Index".
The text is comprehensive, and many aspects are touched, including his standpoint on AMP.
It is good to view one more opinion on what to expect in terms of mobile SEO in the next months.

Hi, Monca, you are welcome!
You are right for the mobile users. This is what I found from Statista site:
"For 2017 the number of mobile phone users is forecast to reach 4.77 billion.
Mobile phone users worldwide - additional information
The number of mobile phone users in the world is expected to pass the five billion mark by 2019. In 2016, an estimated 62.9 percent of the population worldwide already owned a mobile phone. The mobile phone penetration is forecasted to continue to grow, rounding up to 67 percent by 2019. China was predicted to have just over 1.4 billion mobile connections in 2017, while India was forecast to reach over one billion. By 2019, China is expected to reach almost 1.5 billion mobile connections and India almost 1.1 billion.
Most of the mobile market growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of smartphones. By 2014, around 38 percent of all mobile users were smartphone users. By 2018, this number is expected to reach over 50 percent. The number of smartphone users worldwide is expected to grow by one billion in a time span of five years, which means the number of smartphone users in the world is expected to reach 2.7 billion by 2019."
