I have a client that have bought themselfs a mobile site m.mysite.com. So now there is www.mysite.com m.mysite.com when searching for one of their products you find one entry in the SERP and that is www.mysite.com/product1/ But if the visitor is using a mobile device you get redirected to m.mysite.com/product1/ how does this work with Google and their rules? Should we consinue having it this way or should we merge the 2 product pages www.mysite.com/product1/ and m.mysite.com/product1/ to one and the same product page www.mysite.com/product1/ that will send a short version of the page if it is a mobile device used? This client does not want a Responsive website (dont ask me why). I think it is because their webpages are too rich with content
I thinks this OK, when visitor came useing mobile device, they get redirect to m.mysite.com. or wait for other opnion below me..
This is fine. As long as your redirects are correct, you won't have a problem. Redirecting all mobile visits to the desktop site to just one page on the mobile site would be a problem though. Read: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/changes-in-rankings-of-smartphone_11.html No, you should always deliver the same content (otherwise you'll be cloaking and could end up banned from Google) and as your client doesn't want to use responsive design, then redirecting to m.mysite.com is the right decision. A big mistake by your client.
Not all parts of DigitalPoint support "Best Answer". If I remember correctly, there will be a link at the bottom of the post with "Set As Best Answer". The important thing is it's useful for you. Wishing you all the best with it, mate.
This works fine with Google. This is actually known as "Parallel Mobile Web". But this method is not SEO friendly, to build links separately to m.domain.com and domain.com would be difficult. To make the best of the mobile search and traffic, links have to built or earned separately to m.domain.com.
