The increase in smartphone sales and mobile traffic makes it more
important every day for web publishers to build a mobile strategy for
their businesses. Nevertheless, only 1 out of 10 AdSense publishers has a
mobile-friendly version of their site. To encourage other publishers to
go mobile, Ángel Hernández and Manuel Lebrón, owners of Qué Tiempo, shared their experience with us.
Qué Tiempo
is a Spanish site that displays the weather forecast globally. Ángel
and Manuel became AdSense publishers in 2007 and over the years, thanks
to investing in their content, optimizing their ads and growing their
traffic, they’ve been able to build a team of more than 20 employees and
invest in new ventures.
Back in 2008, they could already see
through Google Analytics that the traffic coming from mobile devices was
growing, so they decided to develop quetiempo.es/mobile in-house.
Their
mobile traffic has successfully grown by 20% over the last two years.
New users are arriving to the mobile-friendly version of their site from
mobile devices, while the desktop version is experiencing a 10% year
over year growth. This shows that mobile traffic is additional, not
substitutional, and mobile usage is complementary to desktop.
Thanks to the increase in their mobile traffic, together with a successful implementation of their ads, Qué Tiempo
saw their daily earnings grow by 30%. The CTR of their mobile
leaderboard 320x50 now doubles the CTR on their desktop ads. In
addition, the CPC of their mobile ads is 100% higher than the CPC of the
desktop site.
Most of Qué Tiempo’s
efforts are now focused on improving their mobile site with features
like geotargeting, which makes it possible to deliver accurate
location-specific weather forecasts.
“We encourage other
publishers to build a mobile-friendly site, not only because they’ll
quickly see their revenue grow thanks to the available Google AdSense
mobile formats, but also because the future of your online business
depends on your mobile strategy, a market with infinite possibilities.”
