BREAKING: Google to Increase Ranking Value of Mobile-Friendly Update

I've updated our big #Mobilegeddon  study from last year to include this news, announced today by Google. Some time in May (no date specified) Google plans to boost the ranking power of pages that have a "mobile friendly" designation from Google. This affects only searches on smartphones. 

Our 2015 study showed that the original mobile-friendly update had a far bigger effect than people thought, especially in demoting non-mobile-friendly pages. Google confirmed to Jennifer Slegg of SEMPost that the May 2016 update will use the same criteria and filters as the original update. I've linked her post in my update to our post; do read it for more details.
