The site to determine rankings vs. the mobile site The primary use case Ive seen referred to so far is that they will use the desktop site to determine rankings when there is no mobile version. It is possible that for websites where the desktop version has additional ranking information such as backlinks that information could also be taken into consideration but there is no guarantee that they will crawl or index the desktop version once theyve seen the mobile version and I havent seen any official statements that this would be the case.
Therefore one of the official recommendations is that once America Mobile Number List the mobilefirst indexing rollout happens if youre in the process of building your mobile site or have a placeholder type mobile version currently live it would actually be better to have no mobile site than a broken or incomplete one. In this case you should wait to launch your mobile site until it is fully ready. What if I dont have a mobile version of my site If you dont have a mobile version of your site and your desktop version is not mobilefriendly your content can still be indexed however you may not rank as well in comparison to mobilefriendly websites.
This may even negatively impact your overall rankings on desktop search as well as mobile search results because it will be perceived as having a poorer user experience than other sites since the crawler will be a mobile crawler. What could happen to sites with a large desktop site and a small mobile site Will content on your desktop site that does not appear on the mobile version be indexed and appear for desktop searches The end goal for this rollout is that the index will be based predominantly on crawling mobile content. If you have a heavily indexed desktop version theyre not going to suddenly purge your desktop content from the existing index and start fresh with just your thin mobile.
