Mobile is important, our readers get it and so do we. But sometimes convincing your boss or the decision maker to invest in a mobile friendly website or mobile app can be almost as painful as pulling teeth or harder than explaining how to tie a shoe to a three year old. We have searched endlessly for some awesome mobile statistics in 2013 and have brought them to you. You simply can't argue with numbers and showing your boss this post might just help....enjoy!

Sure these stats are fun to read, but really how applicable are they? Also are users really using smartphones to access websites from their mobile phones or tablets?

The answer is Yes They Are! We actually asked one pizza shop client of ours to send over their Google Analtyics for mobile vs desktop overview. Check these numbers out.

They found almost half of the traffic was coming from mobile searches alone, which is incredible! You can bet we already set them up with a mobile website and mobile app. They are set for the mobile worlds and seeing great returns already.
