Might do an article on mobile SEO just for the purposes of clearing this up. @Jeremy – yeah, typically that is an accepted way to do it, based on the UserAgent.

Not keen on the subdomain issue at all. The two things shouldn't be separate, especially considering the link equity built up on a primary domain. For sites such as Wikipedia and the BBC with established brand traffic, its not so much of an issue. The BBC has ts mobile content is on a different subdirectory, with a mobile sitemap as well. @lubos - take a glance at the paragraph marked 'Hide this result' and follow the link- think that's what you are keen to see? @Jeremy – yeah, totally agree with that concept.

My little comment is that I wish that Google added some ranking methodology directly into the browsing experience. Instead of simply guessing which sites are valuable or not based on some metrics, users should be able to submit a feedback. Google already does this partially with its +1 button, but I really wish there was also the opposite -1 option to flag spammy sites. It's seem to be the rule now that regardless of what topic you search for, one of the top results will be some site containing only super short, unsubstantial snippets surrounded by a plethora of ads. But I guess as long as Google also keeps selling these ads, it's probably not in their best interested to penalize sites like those since they likely drive much ad revenue... Nice article, Paul.

With regards to a Mobile version of your website should it be the same website, just displaying to suit a mobile device or should you have a completely seperate website? eg. http://m.webdistortion.com I notice The Telegraph go with the first option while the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile) and Wikipedia (http://mobile.wikipedia.org) do the later. Any thoughts? I recently came across this - http://www.wolf-howl.com/seo/dangers-multiple-website/ Nice article.
