The idea is that if a high-quality site links to your content, Google is going to reward you with the potential for higher ranking for your content. It’s not that I don’t agree that Google rewards sites that are linked to by high-quality domains. Google is smart and getting smarter. Don’t get me wrong.

If you are a tablet owner, though, you probably know that apps like Twitter and Facebook treat your tablet as a mobile device by default.

Facebook can be just as infuriating, too.
