Now that was a good answer

I marked this as answered but as I read through it I realize that I am more confused.

As I understand a 301 is geared towards telling Google that a page has moved to the new URL permanently.

In my understanding if I were to 301 a mobile user to my mobile version of my homepage as a 301 then I am telling Google this has moved here permanently. Which technically is true for a mobile user but can this have an effect on ranking on the mobile side?

Since there is way less content on the mobile site I am afraid this can impact me on the desktop side.

To me is makes more sense to just redirect a user to the mobile version without a 301 so Google knows that this is simply a redirect and not a 301

Now along with that my original question was more of increasing ranking for my homepage site.

Since I have a separate canonical for both the desktop page as well as the mobile page, my original question was asking whether I should make the canonical on the desktop homepage the exact same as the mobile homepage. I noticed in Google that both desktop and mobile versions of my homepage are indexed. Is this normal?

If I had the same canonical for both pages would that potentially increase the ranking overall for my homepage, since my mobile version is more popular than my desktop version?

Hope that makes sense.

You have a source that supports the 301 over canonical as the preferred method?

What happens to ranking in the aspect by placing the canonical to both pages does that potentially boost my ranking for my main site if my mobile site was indexed differently this whole time?

I am pretty sure that the mobile version of the main site needs to be the same canonical link from what I understand. I am trying to find good docuementation that supports this. Even better if its from Google or Matt Cutts.

I have a main domain like http://www.mydomain.com

the mobile version of this is http://www.mydomain.com/m/

Should my canonical be

rel="canonical" href="http://www.mydomain.com"/>

for both these pages?

ooooo I like that one

There is an app that does that already with Words with friends

I am going to build a fake product and wanted to get some of your awesome ideas This is for fun, laughs and mainly viral/back links. Ultimately my goal is to leave the user scratching their head saying to them self "Is this for real?". I want it almost believable

First: My site is based on everything scrabble so I want it related to that since my fans are going to get a kick out of it.

I need some great starting points of something fake I can create and post about.
