10 Mobile Pages. 5 Desktop Pages. Canonnical to where?

[Imajery]

I  have a mobile site with more pages than the desktop site.

Normally I would just point the page equivalents to the desktop site using the rel canonnical tag.

What about the 5 pages? Do I just leave them be?

Thanks

Are those 5 pages extra content, that do not appear on the desktop site? If so rel canonnical is used to advise of duplicate content and how it should be treated. If they aren't duplicate you dont need to use rel..

Yes, thank you adam. I wrote this up in my own wiki after research:

rel="cannonical" tags should be applied to all mobile pages where a corresponding desktop page exists.

http://www.example.com/" >

At the same time, to pass any SEO rank to mobile sites (for mobile Google users) the desktop site should have a rel="alternate" taghttp://m.example.com/" >There are two reasons to apply these tags:

1. avoid duplicate content issues
2. ensure SEO rank is the same for both mobile/desktop equivalent pages

So if you have mobile pages that don't match up to any desktop pages, then the above codes do not apply, as there is no duplicate content issue, and no SEO rank to be shared. Thus these pages will have to rank on their own.Thanks
