Smart phone shows both mobile & desktop version of www.innoviafilms.com
-
Good morning from 2 degrees C mostly cloudy wetherby UK,
Image this situation...
Ive got two versions of a website: A desktop version & a mobile version, here are their respective urls:
Desk top: http://www.innoviafilms.com
Mobile: http://www.innoviafilms.com/m/home.aspx
With blackberry bold in hand I type in via google search "Innovia films" i click on the search snippet and it renders
the desktop version.
But when i type the url directly in my Blackberry bold 9700 it returns the mobile version
This confuses me. Having read this: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-
friendly.html I thought the desktop version would render in smartphones which the balckberry bold is. So my question
is...
"Why does the the mobile version only appear when you type in www.innoviafilms.com on a blackberry (and iphone 4) and
the desktop version appears only when you enter "Innovia films" via google search"
Any insights welcome

Well it does the same thing on Android. I'd have to point to a software flaw somewhere not detecting the user agent correctly and feeding up the wrong version.
Have you considered using a subdomain (like m.innoviafilms.com)?

Bing Webmaster Shows Domain without WWW
One of our sites shows thousands of 301 redirects due to domain without www in Bing Webmaster under crawl Information page. It’s been like this for a long time. None of the internal pages have domain without www, it was tested through Screaming Frog. We do have www preference set in google webmaster, but unfortunately bing doesn’t have this option. We also specify URL with www preference through structural data, but that still doesn’t help. Did anyone have similar problems with Bing, and how did you resolve it?

Redirect our www.website.com to website. Com/target-keyword
Dear moz community I have been analyzing the websites that rank in top 20 for our target keywords. All of the top 20 sites except us have their websites re directing to websites.com/target keyword. This is due to probably because they have multiple city's and one of the target keywords term is cityname + word. My question is and idea - make a 301 to our www.website.com to /city-keyword and start linking to that page with new links. Would that bring any benefit? Seems that it's a very strong ranking signal. Any threats that I must take into account? We currently rank as #9

Mobile site domain authority
Hello, I think this may be a coding issue, but hoping someone can help me. I am still having issues with our mobile site ranking, even though we created redirects/canonical to identify similar content between desktop version and mobile. I did notice through MOZ analysis of backlinks that we have no domain authority. If the mobile site is automatically detected dependent on the user, shouldn't we also have the same domain authority? How does that work exactly? How can we build up the domain authority for our mobile site? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Site links show spam
Hi folks, I'm working on a website that runs on WordPress and was not updated by the owner, this has resulted in a malware injection and now when you search the companies name in Google, the site links appear with words like Viagra, et al. I've seen this a number of times, so I went through the code and have removed all the malware. I presume I now have to wait for Google to recrawl the website and update the site links? Is there anything else I should be doing to speed up the process? Thank you 🙂
