Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I have few concerns about mobile seo. Pls have a look at here - http://www.seomoz.org/q/want-to-target-mobile-site-for-google-mobile-version-and-desktop-site-for-google-desktop-version Can I have any response here?

There are different names around this concept - search visibility, web visibility, keyword visibility etc. Ideally you want a tool that will quantify your website's "visibility" for a particular set of keywords or niche. Any such tool or report would take not only keyword volume into consideration, but also weight based on rank. Because of what we know about click-through rates, positions 1-3 are much more valuable that position 25. In fact, SEOmoz doesn't rank keywords past position 50 because the return on investment for webmasters past that point is almost nil. Google Analytics tries to provide some of this data in their SEO Reports, but the information doesn't include competitor data, and is an estimate at best. The best "out-of-the-box" tool, to my knowledge, is the visibility score offered by Advanced Web Rankings. Perhaps a better, and free, way to get this information is laid out by Ben Estes in this post about Defining Your True Competitors. Requires a bit of Excel wizardry, but it's an excellent method. SEOmoz is constantly updating it's Rank Checking capabilities. If this is a feature you would like to see, I encourage you to fill out the survey located at the soon-to-be-replaced Rank Tracker, or submit a vote at the feature request forum.

...any other steps we can take to ensure neither site gets "dinged" by the search engines... What you are doing will almost assure that one of the sites will be filtered from the search results.  And if you are going to have lots of links between these  sites I am willing to bet  one month's pay that one of them will be filtered from the SERPs in under six months. other meta tags to let Google know that we are not scraping Google doesn't really care if you scraped that content or if it was a gift from the Pope.  They don't like to show duplicate content in their SERPs and will work to filter as much of it as possible.  Adding meta tags will do nothing...... Your primary problem is cross-domain duplicate content... adding "our partner over at resources.site.com recently published the following report ... yada, yada....." sounds like more duplicate content WITHIN the domain. There are no shortcuts.  If you want to ensure that both sites will perform well you will need to pay the price of unique content. this isn't ideal but it's what I've got to work with If you were my employee I would  hope that you would try to educate me.

This is shady, but it probably would leave very minor footprints. It also would likely deliver you few if any quality links unless you create quality content. Good link building services come from good link building agencies. Go take a peak on the SEOMoz recommended list - http://www.seomoz.org/marketplace/companies/recommended
