Should I have app deep links from by m.example.com site?

Hello Mozzers

I had one small question to ask regarding app deep linking. I noticed websites ike http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ & http://www.trulia.com/ only include app deep links within desktop (www) versions of their websites but not include them on their mobile (m.) versions.

Is this the best way to implement app deep links? Shouldn't websites include app deep links from both mobile and desktop versions of their website.

Any help or tips will be highly appreciated. Thank you mozzers in advance.

Hello Vincent

There is a good post here regarding app search which may help in developing your overall linking strategy

Given that not all websites use an "m." mobile setup, I'm thinking that app deep linking to the desktop version of a page would be A-OK.

Thank you Rebecca for your reply. I agree there are many websites that do not have a m. variation and are responsive. In such cases its fine to have android links from the desktop version as its the only one available version.

I am not sure what to do when there is both desktop and m. version available for a website. Should I be placing deep links on both versions or just the one.

Thanks for your help.
