xAd, a mobile ad ntework, looked at data from last year to create an infographic showing likely trends for Mother’s Day 2013, ranging from nearly one-third researching Mother’s Day products on their phones to the peak day for mobile versus desktop purchases, for certain types of products.

Buying bakery goods for Mother’s Day? On both mobile and desktop devices, the peak day is two days before Mother’s Day. For flowers, mobile activity peaks three days before, whereas desktop activity peaks two days before. Maybe people figure florists sites are too complicated to navigate at the last minute? And if true, perhaps a lost opportunity lesson for all marketers?

The infographic:

As you can see, video content is far more likely to be blended into the search results than any other type of vertical material, followed by image content. And if you’re going to do video, do it on Google’s own YouTube video site. The study found that 80% of video integrations came from YouTube, as opposed to other video sites:

A few caveats to keep in mind. When it comes to bookmarking sites, submitting your own content to places like Reddit may not be the wisest of ideas. The general guide is that you should take a real part in such communities, honestly sharing your own content along with content from others, if you want to directly be involved.

Similarly, commenting on blogs — even relevant blogs — shouldn’t be just an exercise in dropping a link to your blog. Unless there’s a real reason to leave a link, that’s a tactic you might want to leave off from doing.

Submitting guest posts and joining blogging communities that seem only about exchanging links is a definite no-no if you want to avoid problems with Google (see also articles on our Search Engine Land sister-site about the Google Penguin Update).

Promoting on Twitter makes sense, but running the same tweet 2-3 times per day for 30 days might be overkill and perhaps be downright annoying. The amount will really depend on other content you have and what makes sense for your particular audience.
