Mobile Traffic Info-graphic

Hey Warriors, I came up with this info-graphic today and thought some people would like to read it.

You can read the original article at The Free Life Network and I'll post just the info-graphic below.

Please let me know what you think, its my first info-graphic.

1. The link in your post is malformed and therefore not functioning correctly.
2. The statement "The next three years will show an large.." should be "The next three years will show a large.."
3. The infographic would carry more authority if you cited the source of your statistics.
4. The design is very attractive, I think.

Thanks for the advice. Changed the link so it should work now. I'll get working on the grammar error and siting the info.

It's a big deal for infographic readers to see the statistics are cited?

Maybe it's just my cynicism, but I believe I read somewhere that 90% of statistics are plucked from thin air.

I see your point, and I agree that citing makes things more credible. It's just that 75% of the info-graphics I see (now that I'm looking for it) don't have anything cited. I guess putting citations in mine would might put it in a higher tier of credibility.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback. I'm glad that the design layout is appealing anyway.

Your infographic is nicely laid out. I presume this is to be used to sell mobile - specifically mobile web sites. There is great info available about how mobile users interact with desktop web sites. Basically they don't. That kind of info should definitely be on your infographic to make it a better sales tool. Some great points you could use from this website: Why a Regular Desktop Website Doesn

Mobile users will leave the website if they have trouble accessing it. 78% are willing to retry a website two times before leaving. Nearly half of these users are unlikely to return and 57% are unlikely to recommend it. 33% will go to a competitor's website instead. That's a pretty significant downside.
People get frustrated with desktop websites because they simply don't work on mobile devices. Here's why:

Desktop websites take longer than four seconds to load on a mobile device.
Mobile users have slower connection speeds than broadband, and smartphones have less CPU and memory than desktops.
People use their fingers and thumbs to operate a mobile device.
Small buttons and links can be difficult to click without a mousepointer.
It takes longer to type on a virtual keyboard.
Long webforms are even more discouraging on a mobile device.
It's harder to read on a small screen.
The font sizes are smaller and users may be in a place with low light or have screen glare (as opposed to a well-lit desktop area).
People perform different tasks when browsing on a smartphone.
There's generally more need for local info and less need for photos and video.
There is less screen real estate on a mobile device.
This means there will be more scrolling and less tolerance for clutter.
Flash doesn't work on an iPhone.

The research for this info came from here: Survey Report: “What Users Want From Mobile” | Compuware APM

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the extra info, Doug. I was just going to use the infographic for my blog but you bring up an interesting point about using it to promote some mobile topics.

I will have to think about it and might go down that avenue.
