Thanks David Yeager,
I have check and see that my mobile site has been indexed by google. But I currently have some problems:- I don't have a sitemap for mobile
- All contents on mobile are the same as desktop contents
- Should I use canonical tag on mobile site?
Thanks for any advice!

Yes, optimize for mobile.
The only consideration for title and description is to remember that you are dealing with smaller screens that usually have larger text, as few as 10 characters may be visible on screen but around 45 is suggested for the serp title and 100 is visible for the serp description.
Yes, separate sitemap. Also it is suggested to use 3 more if applicable. News, Photo and Video.
NO. Googlebot and Googlebot Mobile are two separate indexes. They do not utilize each others data in a way to compare a page to itself cross index. Now, with that said.... you will not optimize UX by using the same content on desktop and mobile. They have different needs and desires.
ie. Search
Desktop
Mylocal's Italian Restaurant MyTown Special Lasagna - Pictures, ingredients and description are very important. Taking a moment to sell the dish and then post availability.
Mobile
Mylocal Lasagna - Availability should listed first. Chances are they simply want to know if the special lasagna is available tonight and would prefer to find out before the light turns green. Pictures etc. should occur in a lazy loading manor after the onload() event.

Reducing multi-page website to one page & SEO ramifications?
Hello there! I just want to check in before I do this. I am reducing a multi-page website to one page (temporarily, but for at least 4-6 months). I will be 301 redirecting all old pages to the one, new home page. The new home page has a lot more content, long and short keyword phrases. Aside from losing the benefit of internal links, will reducing the number of website pages hurt a ranking? Does having associated keywords on other website pages provide benefit to another (in this case Home) page? Thanks so much for your invaluable advice!

Sitelinks to internal pages
Hi Moz Community, Is it only possible to get sitelinks to your main domain in the SERPs or can you also get them to internal pages in the SERPs? i.e. if this were to pop up in the SERP: www.mysite.com/page1
On-Page Optimization | | Brian_Dowd
Can I get sitelinks such as the examples below:
Sitelink1: www.mysite.com/page1/page1a
Sitelink2: www.mysite.com/page1/page1b
Sitelink3: www.mysite.com/page1/page1c
etc. Just curious and I haven't really find anything like that on the internet. How can I set them up? Thanks.0 -

Too Many On-Page Links
Hi, I did a SEOmoz campaign and got results today, One of the results is Too "Many On-Page Links" when i am drilling down, i see that that's include inside links. for example, i sale food, i have my main department window - inside i have 30 products - each product is linked to a detailed page about the product. so automatically i have 30 links - not including all the others in this page, and i easily get over 100 and even sometimes 200 is this a big issue? does it damages my SEO? If yes, is there a way to write the HTML in a way that internal links like that wont be counted? Thank you SEOWiseUs

How to fix duplicate page content and page titles?
Apologies in advance if this has already been answered (it probably has) - I'm just not seeing it. Is there a guide on here for how to fix the issues brought up by the crawler - specifically, things like duplicate page content, or duplicate page titles? A lot of these seem to have been created by wordpress.org combos that I didn't anticipate - i.e., category pages, author pages, etc. The crawler brings up the problems, but I don' t know where to start to go about fixing them. Also, any guide on best SEO practices or fixing optimization problems, specifically for wordpress.org blogs, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
