What would make more sense than blindly prioritizing mobile sites is this:

1) Desktop-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from desktop computers

2) Mobile-friendly websites appear higher in the rankings for searches made from mobile devices

I see, thanks. Makes sense.

To be fair, it was misleading that the WSJ article said "Google is changing its search algorithm Tuesday to favor sites that look good on smartphones."
