As usual, Google is up to the websites providing bad user experience and this time Google will reinforce its emphasis on mobile search experience with a new algorithm “Intrusive Interstitial Penalty”. It has been announced that “intrusive interstitials” can create issues where screens are often smaller.

> In a layout where the above the fold portion of the page looks similar to a standalone interstitial.
