      Hey All,

      I just did a mobile version of my site and was seeking some guidance on where to put it in the sitemap. Do i need an entirely new sitemap, or do i just add to my existing .xml

      Thanks!

        According to teh Google you'll want to create a second sitemap specifically for your mobile pages. See: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34648
