Fix mobile usability issues found on your website http://xxxxxxx.xx

ISSUE: Seems like google Webmaster tools is running a huge email blast to notify their users if a website is compatible with mobile devices, even though 98% if my websites are currently using wordpress. I  have a few sites still using the DotNetNuke CMS system. I plan to migrate them over soon here is a copy of the email that I got form them

Fix mobile usability issues found on
To: webmaster of http://yourwebsite.com/
Google systems have tested XXX pages from your site and found that 100% of them have critical mobile usability errors. The errors on these XXX pages severely affect how mobile users are able to experience your website. These pages will not be seen as mobile-friendly by Google Search, and will therefore be displayed and ranked appropriately for smartphone users.

I will update this post after my migration is complete, and see if I hit any bumps on the road my current migration would be from Managed.com (aka PowerDNN) using DotNetNuke to Godaddy.com using Wordpress.

Finally Google Chrome Resolving Host issue resolved!!!

I came across this issue a few weeks ago, were Google Chrome just sits on "Resolving Host" I would see this at the bottom left hand corner, for over 20 seconds sometimes even minutes. I tried everything to Resolve this issue, here is a list of all the things I tried:

1. Change DNS settings to Google 8.8.8.8 secondary  8.8.4.4
2. Tried changing DNS to Comcast (my local ISP) 75.75.75.75 secondary 75.75.76.76
3. Ran AVG Virus scan and Optimization
4. Ran Norton Virus scan and Network Check
5. Tried diffrent Internet Connections Timewarner, and Comcast 
6. MalwareBytes Scan
7. Uninstalled many applications that I thought my interfere with my connection
8. Reset the default settings in Google Chrome
9. Checked the Proxy settings in Chrome and tried several configurations 

Solution: 
None of this worked Here is the only thing that seems to fix it after several frustration hours trying to get this to work. I decided to set a Static IP instead of a dynamic IP inside my connection settings. After doing this my browser went back to Normal or maybe even faster its extremely fast!!! I'm running on a T1 line, Windows 7 with 8GB of RAM I didn't see this type of solution anywhere online so I hope it helps anyone having this issue. 

Overall I don't know exactly what caused the issue, but setting a STATIC IP was the only fix that did the trick.

Why is googleads.g.doubleclick.net showing up in my adsense reports ?

I looked all over the internet to find a quick simple explanation for this. After reading a few google help documents and doing some research online, reading others experiences.

 I found that, the reason for this is that "googleads.g.doubleclick.net"  to keep track of Adwords sites and Adsense click revenue google uses a system called Auto tagging, basically what it does it appends some text to the end of your URLs for tracking revenue and what users do on your site to determine the cost. When you bookmark pages it throws this information off as you are coming in from a URL that might have been previously generated. This is why you might see it in your adsense account. If you are using google adwords make sure not to link directly to the generated URL as it will provide google with the wrong tracking data = cost.

for more information on this topic I recommend reading: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1011829?hl=en

There is many out there and a lot of them make this simple process a lot more confusing than it needs to be, after trial an error on a few of them I found the most up front and simple way to do this and it works almost immediately after you add the TAG.


THE PLUGIN NAME IS

1. Search for the plugin in WordPress
2. Install & Activate the plugin 
3. Go to the settings for the plugin 
4. Enter the following: from Webmaster tools Tag to the WordPress Plugin see screen print
