      Hello & thanks for reading

      its maybe the monday morning blues but

      i have two versions of a website - www.gardeners.scot and www.gardeners.scot/AMP/

      the pages on the amp version have canonicals pointing to the "normal" website

      Should the links on "www.example.com/AMP/" point to the amp website or the normal website?

      what are your thougths?

        I've honestly seen it done both ways, I don't believe there is actually any guidance out there for what the best practice is. For example the Guardian does not link to other /amp/ pages. https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2017/feb/06/uk-tourists-face-mobile-phone-roaming-charges-post-brexit-paper-says

          thanks for the reply

          i too have seen it done both ways. I think i will leave it the way it is i.e. pointing to amp files as opposed to the normal site

            Here is the official suggested markup: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6340290?hl=en

            • On any non-AMP page, reference the AMP version of the page to let Google and other platforms know about it:

            • On the AMP page, add the following text to reference its non-AMP canonical version:
