Mobile-geddon: Google’s revised algorithm
The timing is awkward, to say the least. Today Google starts implementing a new version of its algorithm for mobile searches, which will penalize many sites. The overhaul (widely called “mobile-geddon”) comes less than a week after European Union accused the world’s biggest online search firm of systematically favoring its own comparison-shopping service. Google’s change isn’t meant to discriminate against rivals, but to relegate sites not deemed “mobile-friendly” in its search results on smartphones-such as those that load slowly, or are hard to read on a small screen. That may be good news for consumers, who are spending more and more time on smartphones. But it’s also shows how difficult it will be to force Google to treat its own and rival services equally, as the EU wants it to do: Google changes its search algorithm frequently, and there will always be losers and winners.

Overhaul relegate
Mobilegeddon should be our priority when we design our new websites for more than 60% of our customers browse our sites via mobile devices.
Google changes its search algorithm anyways, so deal with it!
