Mobile Site Outranking Main Site

[Steve25]

Hi,

We have recently been hit with a problem regarding our mobile site, where it is outranking our main site. This is causing a drop in orders and ranknings for our main site.

It would appear that google has indexed our mobile site and so the two are now competing against each other.

Our main site is on a .co.uk and our mobile site on a .mobi, but we have now taken down the mobile site until we get this sorted.

Does anyone else have any experience of this happening and how to stop it happening again?

Thanks

Steve

Hi,

You don't have to take the mobile version down - all you need to do is make google know that that is the mobile version and it should rank for mobile alone - that is done by using rel alternate tag.

Including the use of rel alternate.

Hope it helps.
