Happy Cyber Monday And Check Your Sites!
Hi, everyone!
I hope everyone is having a great start to the holiday season and I know this is a very busy day in the cyber world, but this issue needs to be checked if you have not already done so thus I am sending this out.
I was troubleshooting a website that was not mobile friendly but was using a mobile friendly plugin to make the site work with mobile devices.
That is all well and good BUT, this site was getting huge mobile traffic and a bounce rate of about 95%.
I went to the site on my phone and I was taken to the about me page which is the ONLY page that would display with that particular plugin.
This site had zero links out of that about me page and no way for the visitor to do anything but READ about the site, but that was the page that was chosen in the plugin settings to display when visited by a mobile device.
This was producing a bounce and zero chance of any sales whatsoever.
Check your sites and if they do not display correctly or do not fit your sales funnel you need to fix them right away.
Make sure your page that displays, when a mobile device visits your site, is the page you want them to see, if not you need to find a fix.
You can check them at this site:
http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/opera-mobile-em...
Or you can do a search as there are many free mobile simulaors out there.
Just a heads up!
Have an awesome holiday season!

Thanks for the info. I installed it and now I'm not sure what else to do. The tutorial on the opera mobile site is too technical for me. If there's more involved (setup, etc.) please advise me.
I would check your site on a phone and see how it looks. Do you have a link for your site?
Thanks for your reply. I checked my site on my cell phone and it looks great. So does that mean I don't need to tweek anything?
I found something simular. it was an old site that I haven't really looked at in years but it has the right domain name. I just hired someone to work on this site. it is just supposed to be a link site curious I guess I will have to accelerate her project.
