I just read about some changes that Google is supposed to have recently made. Their ranking algorithm for mobile devices now looks for what Google is calling "Intrusive interstitials". Intrusive interstitials are pages that open before or after the expected content.
We knows these as popup windows. Google is now penalizing websites that have popups that show up on mobile devices. Per Google you can only have a popup cover the top 1/4 of the above the fold screen on a mobile device. This is not much room on a mobile phone. If you have a popup, say to get user to sign up for your newsletter, it is probably going to be too big. Hurting you mobile rankings.
