As if there’s not enough to do, racing around and tweaking your websites’ code to pander to Google’s needs, there’s now the AMP Project from Big G.
Announced yesterday on the official Google blog, AMP is the Accelerated Mobile Pages project. The aim of the AMP project is to improve delivery of content on mobile devices. The basis of the latest crusade is that publishers use open-source AMP-HTML to markup their content and this speeds up delivery, hopefully by instantaneously downloading content to mobile devices. Behind this all appears to be some sort of Content Distribution Network (CDN) that Google say can be used at no cost.
Every once in a while something crops up in the world of search marketing that really piques my interest. Caffeine, Hilltop, Panda, Penguin and Hummingbird and all those updates and refreshes in all their versions, if appropriate, are usually talked about ad nauseam and there’s often little to be added to the conversation because there’s nothing new to be said or you’re probably a heretic for saying something different.
Logo and branding changes can often be contentious things.
