In a video on YouTube, Google's John Mueller said that the desktop version of your web pages will influence the position of your web pages in Google's mobile search results. A user was afraid that hidden content in the mobile version of his web pages had a negative influence on the rankings:
"We are looking at the desktop version. That's the canonical version so if you have the connection between the two pages, if they're separate pages and we'd be looking at the desktop version and that someone would be using for indexing.
So if it's visible on the desktop version and you're kind of holding it away, simplifying it on the mobile version, then that's absolutely fine.
If we run across situations where we see that people are abusing this that they're kind of [...] showing cartoons on the desktop side and showing adult content on the mobile site then that is something where we might have to reconsider that and see what we are doing there."

The Phenomenom of Google Algorithm Watching
In Google’s attempt to organize the World’s information, a new phenomenon has transpired in recent years, the algorithm watch. Search marketers (and others) have tried to gain an understanding into Google’s algorithm (of which there are many) to try and understand just how Google returns results for Apple the brand (not the fruit) when you perform a search for “apple” in Google. While some have tried to reverse engineer Google’s algorithms, a major update can leave Webmasters and site owners scratching their heads. Google has brought the whole issue of algorithm watching upon them. In fact, they used to announce (or leak) when there was a major algorithm update. I’ve been writing about Google algorithm updates for years such as here , here , here and here. The fact is one of my initial projects in this industry was to identify and research what the Florida Algorithm Update was all about. So my experience with Google algorithm updates is vast. Here is a reminder about some of Google’s most well- known algorithm updates:
