Smartphone ranking changes

[chris]

First evidence of smartphone/mobile ranking changes:

In June of this year, Google announced it would be adjusting search rankings appearing on smartphones based on how well the site in question handled the mobile user experience. The company didn’t say exactly when these changes would be rolling out, but only said it planned “to roll out several ranking changes in the near future that address sites that are misconfigured for smartphone users.”

...

That was a little over two weeks ago. Today, I tested the results again to see if anything had changed and found the first evidence I’ve ever seen of Google applying this smartphone ranking penalty.
