In a clear exertion of Big Brother force, Google is pushing for a ‘mobile-friendly’ web across its millions of stored web sites.
Bigger than any Panda update, the push to pass the mobile-friendly test even has a deadline: April 21st.
Creating extra work for thousands of web masters and developers that scramble to tune up their web sites just to satisfy Google’s SEO baron, Matt Cutts, is a demonstration of digital era bullying.
The best part is that the web site of Matt Cutts, at MattCutts.com, fails to pass the mobile-friendly test, on two counts:
- Text too small to read
- Mobile viewport not set
It’s ridiculous that Google demands such changes in the first place, but at least we got a good chuckle out of this. 😀
