Mobile SEO for mobile site
Hi Dov, It's a difficult one. I personally don't like the idea of separate mobile sites, you're unnecissarily competing with yourself and probably confusing users. Is it too late to go responsive? Anyway, the way I would do this is to target "Googlebot-Mobile" and write suitable 301 redirects from desktop to mobile. Googlebot will still index your desktop site but Googlebot-Mobile will be smart and follow the 301 to the mobile site. The following should work for an .htaccess file if both your desktop and mobile sites share the same URL structure, else you may need to manually write some 301s. Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "android|blackberry|ipad|iphone|ipod|iemobile|palmos|webos|googlebot-mobile" [NC] RewriteRule ^/?$ / [R=301,L,NC]
