You might notice the difference in search results when you browse the same terms on the phone and on a computer in the next few months time. According to sources, Google has decided to start indexing mobile version websites separately.

Presently, Google has a single index of documents in terms of search, which means it doesn’t bother if you search from your computer, tablet or phone the index will come same.

According to Gary Illyes, Google’s webmaster trends analyst, who revealed that the search engine giant would create a separate search index for mobile in few months. He also predicts that there are possibilities that this new mobile version might be the primary search index.

It seems Google make sense considering mobile has become the primary device, so strengthening search on mobile does make sense.

What is meant by AMP ?

Since reading or looking a website on the mobile web is  slow, clunky and frustrating experience. The Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) Project is an open source initiative that embodies the vision that publishers can create mobile optimized content once and have it load instantly everywhere.

However, Google is paying more attention to the smartphone these days by providing features which desktop users won’t avail. Recently, Google also introduced new types of search recommendations exclusively to the mobile version.

It is too early to determine the functionality of the mobile index at this point. There are more possibilities that we could be looking for more mobile-friendly websites which the Google is prioritizing over the years.

Chances are there that Google may determine the ranking of the sites based on the mobile content which the now relies on the desktop content. Considering both the ways, it sounds like significant changes are going to take place soon.

And after planning our time we are somehow worried to fulfil as per the planning, reasons might be a lack of time, failing to give prioritisation (like Stephen Covey time matrix grid), and what not. Though we blame time and search for reasons to defend ourselves. A real fact mostly happens in every individual life.

The research found that at least 2617 times we touch our Smartphone in a day. New research says an average use we spend on a mobile phone is around 2.42 hours a day, and a heavy user spends 3.75 hours a day. Among one lakh participants, US recruited a sample of 94 Android users. They built a tool to track every user across 24/5 days and found people tap, swipe and click for 2617 times each day.

A recent study reveals shocking facts about how people are connected with their smartphones. Germany’s Wurzburg University and Nottingham Trent University in England collectively conducted research on Men and women.

They asked the participants to wait in a room for 10 minutes and on average they didn’t stay even 44 seconds without touching their devices. Women lasted for 57 seconds before using their smartphone whereas men waited for Just 21 seconds before touching their smartphone.

The research was carried out by the universities on behalf of cyber security enterprise Kaspersky Lab. After 10 minutes of waiting session, the participants were questioned about estimated time before reaching their phone.

Common answers are between two and three minutes, which shows a huge a difference between the perception and real-time behaviour.

During a press release Jens Binder from the University of Nottingham Trent, states that “The experiment suggests that people are far more attached to these devices than they realise and it has become second nature to turn to our smartphones when left alone with them. We do not just wait anymore,”

Binder noted that “The immediacy of information and interactions delivered through our smart devices make them much more of a digital companion and connection to the outside world than a piece of technology.”
