The Adobe Digital Advertising Report for Q2 has pointed to possible effects of Google’s ‘Mobilegeddon’.

Mobilegeddon refers to Google’s algorithm change in April of this year, which prioritises mobile-friendly sites in organic searches. This, according to the report, has led to up to 10% lower organic traffic among sites with low mobile engagement.

The report also anticipates that Google’s search business will slow: Google’s search business in Q2 2015 was up 1-2% compared with 4.5% in Q2 2014.
