If you are reading this, it means that you survived Google’s Mobile-Friendly Algorithm Update – otherwise known as Mobilegeddon and/or the Mobile-pocalypse. Well, technically, it is a week-long rollout, so just because you are still ranking today doesn’t mean you are in the clear. Be sure to keep your eyes on your mobile rankings and mobile traffic data over the next several days.
In the past 48 hours, we have seen several blog posts about the Mobile-Friendly algo update and its aftermath (aka Mobilegeddon). We wanted to create a resource guide for anyone looking for information on this update, so we will be updating this post every day with new links. Check back for more in the coming days and weeks.
This is a good post to read if you want to make sure you’re site is Mobile-Friendly:
And we’re off! Here’s a tweet from Gary Illyes, a Webmaster Trends Analyst at Google:

FYI – Gary Illyes also says the rollout may take weeks:
@rustybrick to the best of my knowledge yes. Keep in mind that the rollout may take weeks so you might not see an immediate effect. #april21
