Everyone is happy until the news of a new Penguin Update arrives just before the clock strikes 2016.

I’ve been quite busy these days with a multitude of hot projects and assignments that span software development for enterprise-level web applications, integration development for a Church Management Software, and SEO projects in between all of this.  

The latter has suffered quite a bit only because the first two are demanding so much of my time.  

Not to mention I’m pressed for time to spend with my wife and two boys.  

That said, a lot has happened since my last post.  

I won’t cover all the details, but will focus on an imperative one that you will want to establish a plan for should you not already have a plan (now that it’s a week old): Google’s Mobile Update.

Two years ago this very day, March 7th 2013, I sat wide eyed in front of my 21-inch monitor and endlessly stared into the blank abyss of a Google doc file.

It was quiet this night in our home as my wife and almost 3-month old son slept the night away.
