Question about robots file on mobile devices

[Andy-Halliday]

Hi

We have a robots.txt file, but do I need to create a separate file for the m.site or can I just add the line into my normal robots file.

Ive just read the Google Guidelines (what a great read it was) and couldn't find my answer.

Thanks in Advance

Andy

Hi there

Yes, if you have a mobile site, you should create a separate robots.txt and sitemap, among other things.

I would also create a Google and Bing Webmaster Tools profiles for your mobile site so you can watch it with more granularity.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi Patrick

I thought that but just wanted to triple check before writing a nice list for my developers tomorrow.

Thanks
