High qualitty images and mobile
-
We know that google likes high quality unique images. On the other side google likes fast load times (in particular on mobile).
What about showing two different dimensions images on desktop and mobile? Is it good? If yes than any wordpress plugins for that?

Thanks for the shout out, Ryan! Although, I think Smashing Magazine has already answered this question the best:
Basically, what you want to do is load high quality images for desktop, but remove those images or serve lower quality images for mobile. You can either do this by loading the images you need with JavaScript rather than CSS, so matchMedia can change the images based on device type, or you can set up your server to deliver differently sized images based on device type.
Hope this helps!

With modern mobile devices their screens are actually pretty good at displaying high resolution images, but responsive design still helps significantly in squeezing layouts into handy formats across platforms. The crew at Distilled wrote a nice post about this a couple of years ago that's still applicable, here: http://moz.com/blog/seo-of-responsive-web-design.

This is one of the best questions ever. I hope you get great responses and one of those responses thinks that the topic is worthy of a post on the Moz Blog.

Mobile Version SEO question
Hi there, Quick question on mobile SEO. Basically, I don't think I can effectively format my mobile website design unless I just build it as a collection of pictures. This way it'll be possible to format so it doesn't look a jumbled mess. My question - if my mobile version is just essentially HQ screenshots/pictures put together, how will that affect my SEO for mobile? PS if anyone has suggestions on how I can design my mobile version without affecting desktop I'd appreciate it. I'm using shopify and across many of the themes I've tried whatever I design on desktop has to format on mobile as well. To my knowledge only wix allows you to independently edit the mobile and desktop versions.

How to rank highly without much content?
Many pages on the web rank highly - even though they have no keyworded text. They might have listings, or just images. How do they achieve such high rankings? Is it just by getting lots of inbound links?

Getting an image to rank in blended search
Hi Mozzers, Has anyone got any good tips to get an image to rank in blended search when a user searches for a specific company name. I'm not talking about image search - I'm talking about the regular SERPs that sometimes contain images (normally logos) when you search for 'Coca Cola' for example - any ideas. Thanks Gareth

Short Meme/Image Posts on Blog - Will this hurt me?
Hey guys, I use Hootsuite to cross-post to twitter/facebook/google+/wordpress. It's mostly short one-sentence posts (http://minecraftserverfinder.wordpress.com/). But it's updated about 5-6 times a day and the images are relevant and interesting to my followers. Currently the wordpress page is not hosted on my main site minecraftserverfinder.com, it just links to it. I do have another blog on minecraftserverfinder.com/blog that has a couple of lengthy articles. My questions are thus: Should I keep going with these posts? Should I consolidate the blogs and host them on my main site? Thanks in advance.

Just a quick question...looking more for opinions and suggestions.... The specific page in question is: http://erasedisease.com/2012/04/09/all-natural-alternative-to-beta-blockers-arginine/ We get great traffic to this page specifically for these search terms (and more): natural beta blockers natural alternatives to beta blockers natural beta blocker supplements The bounce rate on this specific page is usually between 75% to 82%. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be (besides the obvious colors/theme of the website)? Thanks!!
