Uncategorized Smartphone adoption in the EU5 (U.K., France, Germany, Spain, Italy) has grown 32 percent compared to a year ago to 51.6 million subscribers, according to a new report from comScore. Growth can bee seen across the range of monthly subscription fees, but the mid to low tier is growing faster that high tier subscriptions in each of the EU5 markets. The U.K. market has a significant lead in the growth of smartphone adoption over the past year, growing 70 percent to more than 11 million subscribers. France ranks second in growth with the number of smartphone subscribers up 48 percent to 7 million. Italy has the largest number of smartphone subscribers overall (15 million) but showed the smallest growth in the market at 11 percent. “Smartphones are generally seen as luxury devices that come with big price tags and high monthly tariffs, yet the largest segment of the market and the one demonstrating greatest momentum is actually the low to mid tier,” says Alistair Hill, senior mobile analyst at comScore . “The growth in these tiers suggests that as smartphones become more affordable to the majority of European consumers, their proliferation will increase considerably and lead to a surge in mobile content and data consumption. Such market dynamics offer substantial opportunity for different players in the mobile ecosystem — from operators and manufacturers to publishers and advertisers — and underscore the importance of competing for customers now to engender long-term loyalty.”

Uncategorized In case you missed it, WebProNews streamed a live interview with Google’s Matt Cutts today from SMX West in Santa Clara. It’s hard to narrow down the discussion to a singular topic, but here are some of the things touched upon in the video: – The status of Google’s Caffeine update (nothing’s wrong, they’re just being careful.) – Site Speed as a ranking factor – settle down, it’s not replacing relevance (and it’s independent from Caffeine) – PageRank – Google’s probably not going to rename it, but people do obsess too much over it. – PuSH – indexing much of the web in real-time – Coming up with metrics for authority in real-time search – Google Buzz – Why Matt Cutts likes it, but still uses Twitter as well – Why does every product that comes out have to be the killer of an existing product? – SEO vs. social media marketing – NCAA Basketball and the Kentucky Wildcats After discussing the above topics, Matt and interviewer Mike McDonald turn to Twitter for audience questions for Matt to answer.
