          Hey there, 
          certain pages of our website have mobile versions like m.mysite.com/content-xyz. On the desktop pages (i.e. mysite.com/content-xyz) we have "rich snippets for ratings" marked up and displayed in SERPs. However the ratings also appear in mobile search results when SERPS reference the mobile version of the page (m.mysite.com/content-xyz) which doesn't have any ratings or markup?

          I am trying to figure out how Google treats mobile versions of a page in relation to the desktop version in relation to structured data (breadcrumbs etc.)? Would you always mark up both versions to be the same?

          Any ideas and thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.

          Cheers,

          Jochen

            Hi Jochen,

            SUPER interesting find, thanks for pointing this out, Jochen.

            To me, this looks like Google understands that these two pages are the same page, except for different devices, and is using information on the desktop page to make their search results more robust for mobile.

            You can see the connection by looking for Google's cache of your mobile page. The best way to do this is to search in Google for "cache:[URL]". If you search for "cache:http://m.avogel.ch/de/ihre-gesundheit/erkaeltung/alles_ueber_erkaeltungen.php", Google will send you to the desktop version of the page.

            Here's my theory: Google has one index for both desktop and smartphone users, so it combines data and gives the user the best result possible. Google's doing more and more to try to improve its search results even without SEO intervention, so I'm not too surprised about this, but can't seem to find this in any SEO articles out there.

            In answer to your question: I recommend that you continue to keep you mobile and desktop sites similar enough that Google is pulling from both. In the past, some SEOs would build sites differently for mobile users, but I've never seen any UX studies that shows that that's a better approach. Given that Google strongly recommends that you use responsive web design, it's certainly not Google's recommended approach.

            I hope this helps? I'm not sure if this was a post because you were worried about something - this seems like good news to me!

            Kristina

              Thanks again!

              If I am doing "mobile friendly test" for the page Google doesn't seem to have any problems accessing the mobile version. If also crawled the page with googles mobile crawler in screamingfrog and again there were not issues.

              https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/mobile-friendly/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fm.avogel.ch%2Fde%2Fihre-gesundheit%2Ferkaeltung%2Falles_ueber_erkaeltungen.php

              So I don't think the rather unusual behavior of not beeing able to access the mobile site with a desktop browser has an impact on my question regarding the desktop "rich snippets for ratings" showing up in mobile search results.

                Is this how you intended the site to work/ (ie as described above)

                For example if you go to any of these 3 sites:
                http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/
                www.ticketek.com.au
                www.bankwest.com.au

                Then after that load their mobile site without deleting any cookies or changing any user agents, all the mobile sites load up straight away:

                m.ticketmaster.com.au  
                m.ticketek.com.au and
                m.bankwest.com.au

                Have a look through this Google Artilcle which might help:

                  Thanks for the feedback. I get the mobile page loaded in my browser (only) after deleting all cookies from the site and using the Chrome extension "User-Agent Switcher".

                    http://m.avogel.ch/de/ihre-gesundheit/erkaeltung/alles_ueber_erkaeltungen.php - Mobile Page... are you 100% sure that is set up correctly? I've tried to load the mobile version in my browser and keeps redirecting me to full site. Even using the mobile emulator on Chrome I cant log up the mobile site keeps redirrecting to full site.

                    All other websites that I know that have a m. subdomain for mobile site load up with no issues at all in computer Browser.

                    Is the mobile site made using one of the Mobile Apps or something similar?

                    I would suggest try use Google Webmaster tools and use the 'Fetch & Render' option so you can see how Google is rendering the mobile page

                          Reducing number of site pages?

                          Hi, I am looking through my site structure and I have a lot of pages left over from the days of article keywords.  Probably 7 or 8 years ago, someone sold my husband on article key word pages.  I have slowly gotten rid of a lot of them as they have fallen out out of the ranks.  I would like to get rid of the rest, probably 5 or 6 pages.  Will it hurt my rankings to delete pages and redirect them?  My customers really like the simplicity of our site and I want to keep it that way, plus clean up flags that Moz is telling me is a problem. I think its easier to keep less pages top notch than have to worry with a lot of them.  Especially since my customers aren't viewing them. Thanks in advance!

                          Page Title Length

                          Hi Gurus, I understand that it is a good practice is to use 50-60 characters for the a page title length. Google appends my brand name to the end of each title (15 characters including spaces) it index. Do I need to count what google adds as part of the maximum recommended length? i.e.  
                          is the maximum 50-60 characters + the 15 characters brand name Google adds to the end of the title or 50-60 including the addition? Many thanks!

                          URL Structure on Category Pages

                          Hi, Currently, we having the following URL Structure o our product pages: All Products Pages: www.viatrading.com/wholesale/283/All_Products.html Category Page: www.viatrading.com/wholesale/4/Clothing.html Product Page: www.viatrading.com/wholesale/product/LOAD-HE-WOM/Assorted-High-End-Women-Clothing-Lots.html?cid=4 Since we are going to use another frontend system, we are thinking about re-working on this URL Structure, using something like this: All Products Pages: www.viatrading.com/wholesale-products/ Category Page: www.viatrading.com/wholesale-products/category/ Product Page: www.viatrading.com/wholesale-products/category/product-title/ I understand this is better for SEO and user experience. However, we already have good traffic on the current URL Structure. Should we use same left-side filters on Category Pages as in All Products Page? Since we are using Faceted Navigation, when users filter the Category (e.g. Clothing) they will see same page as Clothing Category Page. Is that an issue for Duplicate Content? Since we are a wholesale company - I understand is using "/wholesale/products/" in URL for all product pages a good idea? If so, should we avoid word "wholesale" in product-title to avoid repeated word in URL? For us, SKU in URL helps the company employees and maybe some clients identify the link. However, what do you think of using the SEO-friendly product-title, and 301 redirect it to www.viatrading.com/BRTA-LN-DISHRACKS/, so 1st link is only used by company members and Canonicalized 2nd is the only one seen by general public? Thank you,

                          How to Define Best URL Structure for Product Pages?

                          I am working on my website to edit structure with help of Google's search engine optimization starter guide. There is really good instruction to define URL structure which help us to perform well over Google's organic search. I have resolved issues regarding category pages but, I have confusion to define best URL structure for product pages. My website's product page URL structure is as follow. http://www.vistastores.com/marketumbrellas-californiaumbrella-slpt758-f13-red.html http://www.vistastores.com/homefurniture-winsomewood-93630.html URL structure is constructed with following terms. 1. Root Category Name (Market Umbrellas or Home Furniture or ....) 2. Brand Name 3. Manufacturer Part Number I am not happy with this structure and also not performing well over Google's organic search. I am thinking to include product name or title tag in URL after root domain. But, it may create very long URL and create issues in organic search display. Does it really matter to perform well over Google's organic search? How can I define best URL structure for product pages?

                          Page speed tools

                          Working on reducing page load time, since that is one of the ranking factors that Google uses. I've been using Page Speed FireFox plugin (requires FireBug), which is free. Pretty happy with it but wondering if others have pointers to good tools for this task. Thanks...
