Chapter Two: How To Implement A Google Ranked Mobile Website
To succeed with mobile SEO nowadays, your site must be Mobile-Friendly.
Once the full version of your desktop site is not accessible to a mobile user, you have serious issues with your mobile site.
So far the implementation of a Google ranked mobile site is not a big deal, I think it’s worth achieving.
Because of this, we will be directing attention towards mobile SEO with a view to implementing a mobile site that ranks well in Google.
You Have 3 Alternatives For Configuring Your Site For Mobile Users
To configure your site for mobile devices, you have 3 alternatives as follows.
1. Use An “M” Configuration Which Means Getting Multiple URLs
With this particular configuration, you do have a mobile version of your website; the M version, and the desktop version; the Main version.
With this, your site will automatically detect the kind of device that a visitor is using at any point in time and then redirect such to a particular URL that was configured for that device.
As the mobile versions of your sites would bring about tons of SEO issues, it would not be a great way to configure your site for mobile devices.
2. Embed All Of Your Content On The Same URL
Whenever posts are dynamically spread, they will all be on the same URL though users would be shown different CSS/HTML depending on their own devices.
If people try to visit your site from a desktop device, they’ll find a desktop version of your website.
If your site is accessed from a mobile device, a mobile version of your site would be viewed.
Thus, having all of your content on the same URL is a more awesome method than using the mobile configuration or Multiple URLs although there may still be some issues with this technique.
3. Use The Responsive Designs
Implementing the responsive designs will make your website’s content and images responsive to the various visitors regardless of the device that was used.
By using the responsive designs, there would not be any need for embedding content on multiple URLs.
Thus, the responsive design is better and more ideal for SEO as you have all of your content on a single URL which makes sharing content easy.
