Mort-lemur Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The latest from Google: Sept 1Having an app install interstitial popup on a web page began to be logged as a mobile usability issue. Websites with these popups may see their mobile usability error rate jump starting that date. Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglaswalker Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 From Tech Crunch... "According to an update to webmasters the company posted today, Google’s mobile-friendly test will now indicate when a site should avoid these kinds of app install interstitials. Starting November 1, sites that show app install ads that hide “a significant amount of content on the transition from the search result page” will be penalized by losing their “mobile-friendly” status. This means they will likely rank lower on Google’s mobile search results pages." *** on the transition from the search result page **** So my thinking (maybe wrong) a popup for a competition which is timed for after a number of clicks and can be easily dismissed surely can't be seen as a problem. from tech crunch "You could argue that Google is obviously better at monetizing on the web than in mobile apps, so it wants people to stay in the browser," Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
