What is a better mobile domain from an SEO perspective an m.example.com or using your regular domain with user agent detection?
-
Just wondering what domain is more beneficial for a mobile site and why.
-
I prefer to use the m.domain.com for mobile sites now and deny Google from searching my main website. But with responsive design we are moving toward utilizing the same URL for mobile and main websites.

Thanks for the help and answers on this Francisco and Nakul!

m.example.com is definitely better but if you have responsive design, you can also adjust based on user agent detection and I am seeing a lot more success with that. However, if you do decide to go m.example.com, don't forget to Deny Google Mobile access to your Main Website and Only Allow Googlebot-Mobile access to your mobile site. That way you won't run into duplicate content issues between your main website and mobile site.

To use or not to use: Keywords with locations
Hello there. I work for a marketing agency that manages SEO campaigns for a variety of small businesses in South Florida. Let's say we have a client that sells cheap shoes at their store location. Obviously, we want to show up in Google rankings for search terms like "cheap shoes south florida" or "cheap shoes miami." Now, my question is, when optimizing a website's content for various keywords, is it really necessary to include keywords with the location (which are often awkward for both reading and writing purposes)? Ideally, I'd prefer to have text that always reads as naturally as possible. Text like this is just an eyesore: Welcome to ExampleSite.com, home of the best cheap shoes Florida. We offer all kinds of cheap shoes Boca Raton. Your whole family doesn't have enough fingers and toes to count how many cheap shoes West Palm Beach we have in stock! Contact us to ask about our cheap shoes Miami discounts today! Olé!" What say you? Is there a way to work around ugly SEO text like this while still effectively ranking for GEO terms? Thanks!
