Hi,

I had a query that i have created a new URL on mobile site this url does not exist on desktop. So what is impact of this on SEO and is it harmful for SEO, if yes then what we can do to handle this.

Hi,

How are you dealing currently with the page for visitors on desktop. Are you doing device targeting to see if they're on a mobile device and otherwise giving a 404 or redirecting the user somewhere else? I think that's the most important thing to know based on what you're scared off that might happen to see if that could indeed hurt you.

This is 301 redirection on desktop home page and i think google might show this in faulty redirects. This page is live before 1 months but still i didn't get any Google webmaster error.

Hi Anirban,

Can you tell me a bit more about this page? Why is it only on the mobile site and not the desktop?

I wouldn't expect this to be an issue for SEO (especially not with a single page - maybe if you were doing this for lots and lots of pages we could see an issue). But I would suggest asking yourself whether it makes sense for this page to be mobile only.

If so, how likely is it for a desktop user to even find this page? It likely won't rank for desktop but that's a good thing because it's not really available to desktop searchers (since you've implemented a redirect).
