Google mobile friendly website

MUMBAI, INDIA: With an aim to enable organizations’ smooth transition toward a mobile friendly website, Google that started rolling out its new mobile friendly algorithm today, has released an exhaustive list of FAQs.

While the company said that the new algorithm will not impact the Web ranks of websites on desktop and notebooks, it maintained, “You won't be able to definitively determine whether your site’s rankings are impacted by the mobile-friendly update by April 22nd. While we begin rolling out the mobile-friendly update on April 21st, it’ll be a week or so before it makes its way to all pages in the index.”

“Your page can still be mobile-friendly even if it links to a page that’s not mobile-friendly, such as a page designed for larger screens, like desktops. It’s not the best experience for mobile visitors to go from a mobile-friendly page to a desktop-only page, but hopefully as more sites become mobile-friendly, this will become less of a problem,” the company said in the blog post.
