Should Content Publishers Adopt Google’s New AMP?
Converting to Google’s new AMP could make your mobile content blazing fast. But … should you?
[episode_ad]
On Monday, Demian Farnworth explained what the AMP (that stands for “Accelerated Mobile Page”) framework does for mobile content, and why Google is pushing for it.
Today, I talk about whether or not content publishers should dive into AMP … and what to consider when we’re making that decision.
In this 21-minute episode, I talk about:
- What mean teenagers can teach you about search engine optimization
- How I decide when to try out an SEO tactic — and when not to
- The incredibly important site functionality that AMP disables
- What AMP is really intended to protect (and why that might not apply to you)
