Don’t have a mobile website? You can’t hide any longer. (You may be noting that DMN doesn’t have a mobile site. This is something we’re working on.)
On Tuesday, April 21st websites that aren’t mobile friendly will be penalized. Google searches made from mobile devices will lower the rankings of non-friendly sites, and will boost the ranking of sites that are mobile optimized.
