The Verge reports on an announcement by Alphabet subsidiary Google that, beginning in January, it will change the way Web sites are ranked in results from its search engine. Sites featuring pop-up windows or interstitial adverts may appear lower in the results than they now do.

According to an Alphabet press release, 90% of Google's revenues during the first quarter of 2016 came from advertising.

    Like they don't allow manual checks at Google? Or even browsing? Or verifying that GoogleBot works correctly? There's no reason at all they could visit your website with a real browser?

    God forbid they use noscript while they do it!
