I want to link my mobile variant website version to the desktop version i.e "view website in desktop". You click this button and it will take you to the desktop version only. Program I use is Xara Web Designer. CPanel is where the files are hosted.
They have advised I need to create two copies of my website to do this.
I can duplicate my website but how would I go about uploading the two copies to CPanel? Also I would need to remove the robots.txt file from one of them because I do not want google crawling the duplicate site (SEO Issues).
Would I need two domains? I want to keep just one.
Thanks in advance please let me know if you need clarification on anything.
There are better solutions with regards to SEO such as making your website 'mobile responsive'. But to answer your specific question, you are probably best to create a mobile website and set it up on a 'm.' subdomain (so you only need your 1 domain name). You can do this from cPanel under 'Subdomains'.
As for no-indexing the mobile website with robots.txt, the correct method is to use the 'canonical' tag. This is a good guide from Google on the subject: https://developers.google.com/webmasters/mobile-sites/mobile-seo/overview/select-config?hl=en

I'm building a website for a company, I build this website offline so google won't index it, with the reason that google don't see the codes yet and thinks at the official launch that we copied the text/codes from an other website.
Sadly I encounterd a problem. I need to implant the facebook social plugin, sadly does this plugin only work when the site is online. But as I said putting it online can be dangerous for future Google SEO.
Is there an other option where I can see the facebook plugin but it is not online yet or is it okay for me to just place it online already on (for example) www.example.com and later put the released product on (for example) www.released.com.
Any toughts on this problem?
Why don't you place the website online in a folder that is blocked for Googlebot via robots.txt?
That way you can test all the online elements work and not have to worry about users and search engines finding it and listing it.
An alternative could be to use the .htaccess file to limit access only to your IP address - that way, you'd be the only one to see the site live.
My question is "How to integrate apache and google site via proxy"?
I found this tutorial but it didn't work as I expected. It redirect to google site instead of keep my domain in address bar and change content only.
In my case, I want whenever people access to http://mydomain.com, they will see the content from https://sites.google.com/site/mydomain/
Thanks!
I think it's not possible because you can't acces on the dataBase on your Google Sites. The url of your Google can't change.
Okay, so I have my main site, www.mydomain.com.au along with my mobile site which is within a subdomain, m.mydomain.com.au.
I am trying to submit my subdomain to Google Webmaster Tools, although it cannot seem to verify it. I have tried with the HTML file upload and the meta tag option to.
I can verify that the Google HTML file is DEFINITELY uploaded since the link Google provides to check if it is there is working perfectly. Also, I have checked my source code and the meta tag is also definitely there.
My .htaccess file has a mobile redirect so I thought that may have been the problem, so I deleted that file to check if it would validate, but still no luck.
I have approximately 12 websites that are setup the EXACT same as this one, and all of their mobile sites/subdomains verified with Webmaster Tools perfectly.
This is my error message: We were unable to connect to your server.
Does anyone have any suggestions to why Google cannot verify my mobile site?
Google doesn't see sub domains...they see the folder where the sub domain is located. Delete the site and add is again as mydomain.com.au/m
Google will see it and add it to Webmaster tools...I just did this for my sub domain. That's how I worked it out...
You can verify them from here https://www.google.com/webmasters/verification/home?hl=en
It is wrong that google is not seeing sub domains. you can check it with site:yoururl. with your main domain you will get your sub domain as well.
I have a existing sharepoint site.
How can I make this site mobile compatible . DO I need to create separate pages for mobile view and navigate to them when ever user browses the site in mobile? And could any you refer any useful links for the above
Any help is appriciated
as far as I know, sharepoint is already capable of handling mobile view.
Here you can see that it is already indicated in the site information regarding the mobile site for the sharepoint site. You can access this through site actions>site settings and you will see it on the right portion of the screen.
Disregarding my question I asked earlier (and deleted) which has been solved, I want to know, how do I force sharepoint to generate user-friendly my site collection URLs?
To make the question easier, I'll include an example.
http://spaces.companyspttest.biz/Person.aspx?accountname=ADtest\Eon
must become
http://spaces.companyspttest.biz/Eon
How do I do this?
Ok, seems like what I have been looking for is a Self-Service Site Creation.
To activate it , go to Web applications management in Central Administration in Sharepoint, ,Select the web application which requires this "Shortened URL",Click Self Service Site Creation in the ribbon, and turn it on.
After that, add a Managed path to the web application called Profiles.
Not 10000% what I wanted regarding the URL, but definitely the page I wanted to see when I type the URL.
