Hi,
 
Has anybody set up a mobile site in a subdomain of the main desktop site using the multi-site option?
 
e.g
Desktop version: www.site.com
Mobile version: www.site.com/mobile
 
If so, do you have any advice in respect of SEO and advice on avoiding any duplicate content issues that may arise.
 
I am just trying to avoid a situation where Google and/or other search engines might penalise my site.
 
Hope somebody can advise on this.
 
Thanks in advance
 
Dave

On the desktop site you would have a link rel alternative on every page pointing to the mobile version e.g
 
<link href="http://www.site.com/mobile/" rel="alternative" media="only screen and (max-width: 768px)" />
 
and on your mobile pages you would set the canonical to your desktop site e.g
 
<link href="http://www.site.com/" rel="canonical" />
 
That should prevent duplication issues with search engines.
