In this case study still 77% visit the site from a desktop. That`s because the audience is more mature. The statistics for this site itsvicky.com would be completely different.
I agree that the trend o using mobile and tablets, is here to stay.
We want to make sure that no matter what device visitors use, they get a great experience on our sites.

Thanks for your input Christian and for sharing your own experience,

Vicky

I think a lot of folks can learn a lot about how to learn what is trending on your site by using google analytics.

My day job is for a large eCommerce platform. Roughly 70% of our sales come form mobile devices these days with iPhones having the larger market share. Our consumers are mostly younger, ranging in age from 16 – 25. I can say that everyone should be creating their sites to be optimized for mobile viewing because as that generation gets older, I believe that trend will continue.

This certainly is a thought provoking article. Thanks for writing it.

There are a few things to look at.
1. Make sure you don`t have “spammy” robot visitors that will visit and jump off your site right away. These can improve numbers but they will shorten visitor duration. If they are not “real” users you don`t want them on your site anyway.
Working on a post on how to spot them and how to get rid of them…

2. Make sure you have content that engage. Make it easy to read, ad in pics and videos where suitable.

3. Depending on your goal for your site, you might not mind if they click through to for example Amazon. Some pages on your site might have a shorter session duration because they are actually doing what you want them to do, go to Amazon for example. Go in and check the session duration for the pages that you want them to stay on and engage and see if they stay longer on those.

Hope that helps,
Vicky

Yes Google Analytics can be confusing if you don`t know what to look for.
I plan on doing more case studies and Google Analytics posts as well.
Let me know if you have any specific questions about Google Analytics and I will be happy to help,

Vicky
