Anyone looked into this recently? I'm thinking of getting a .mobi domain (Google was pushing for before ICANN approved it), but not sure how the whole duplicate content issue works out.
mysite.com == mysite.mobi = duplicate content? -------------------- Comment found on a tech blog:

I'd rather integrate a mobile version of my website in the same domain. Much more simpler for my target market. Just sayin'

Just sayin' I thought about that too, pero I noticed that google, flickr, and facebook all have dedicated mobile domains. If you try using google on mobile safari, iba yung google.com at google.com/mobile. I also read on an SEO site that Google treats the two domains separately: tipong if the person searching is using a mobile browser to search, mas binibigyan nila ng priority ang mobile version ng site. Although walang sinabi ganon Google, meron nga silang mobile domain AND sila pa kasama sa nagtulak ng .mobi na domain extension. So I'm thinking: where there's smoke... -------------------- Comment found on a tech blog:

Hurrr dhurrrr,,, sorry for replying too soon. Yes, I see your point now. Usually when people search for stuff via mobile, it usually leads to a "mobile" version of that search engine. The search engine automatically detects that you're using a mobile device to find stuff online. So, to improve the user-friendliness, the search engine's most appropriate logic would be to display relevant "mobile-friendly" results. In this case, having a .mobi domain name would be declaring that your site is meant for mobile users. Which in case, helps the search engine display your page better. So yeah, if doing a mobile version of the site, and the company needs SEO, .mobi might be a good option. -------------------- design | development | branding | illustration | motion | sound |
