"Mobile friendliness" will
affect how prominently websites appear in Google search results
pages from 21 April 2015.
Criteria includes text size, the amount of
space between links and whether the content fits across a mobile
screen.
A Google representative said mobile friendliness
was "one of many" factors used by the search engine
to rank results, but in a blog post the company said it would
have "a significant impact" on search result."
"As people increasingly search on their
mobile devices, we want to make sure they can find content that's
not only relevant and timely, but also easy to read and interact
with on smaller mobile screens," the representative said.
