      Hey everyone!

      I had just finished building my first mobile website and i wanna focus on SEO for mobile search.

      Now, since there is a redirection once a visitor enter to the web domain to the mobile site automatically (e.g. sample.com to m.sample.com).

      Question is: Where should i refer my back links to to improve my ranking on mobile result page?

      Would love for some help..

        You just built a site that Google doesn't recommend. Google prefers your main site to be your mobile site with responsive design and not a separate subdomain.

            Howdy!
            For starters please make sure you are using rel="alternative" and rel="canonical" meta tags. I also highly suggest that you have completely unique content of both pages. Do not recycle anything unless you are going to robot.txt the page that will be using the duplicate content.

            We also prefer the practice of using responsive design. Since this does not seem to be an option for you, I suggest that you do some further research into optimizing a mobile site.

            Hope my tips help you out!
