There are 71% of tweets that get no response. 6% get retweeted and 23% get an @ reply. Some 92% of all retweets and 97% of replies occur within the first 60 minutes, according to Sysomos.

There are many factors - or signals - that determine a website's search engine ranking. And a mobile-friendly website is one the biggest. And it's not optional any longer.

More Internet searches are done on smart phones and tablets now than on laptops and desktops, according to Google, yet only 44 percent of business websites are optimized for mobile. It's been estimated that mobile search would exceed desktop searches by 27.8 billion queries in 2016. (BIA/Kelsey).
