      Is it possible to selectively 301 redirect mobile/tablet user agents and google robots from the desktop version of a website to a mobile site? Would this preserve the SEO for the desktop website while optimizing the mobile/tablet site for mobile SEO?

        It is possible to redirect users based on UA (user agent). However Google now recommend using responsive design so if possible you'll (probably) want to do this
