Great link, Carrie. Thanks for sharing.

There are three things a retailer must do, Klais explains. First, a retailer▓s site must have what is known as a ⌠vary header■ that indicates user agent (the mobile platform initiating a request); this tells Google that the content at the URL varies by user agent, Klais says. Second, for desktop pages and mobile pages that correspond to one another, retailers must insert on the desktop page a meta-tag called an alternate tag that identifies the mobile version of the desktop page and the mobile URL, Klais says. And third, to complete the loop, retailers must insert on the mobile page a meta-tag called a canonical tag that identifies the desktop version of the page and the desktop URL, Klais says.

⌠These are the things mobile marketers have to do if they want their mobile content high up in search results,■ Klais says. ⌠Most retailers do not comply with this yet.■

So a mobile TEMPLATE that serves mobile devices is not doing a redirect, and is within the guidelines, right?

If an Xcart store has a template for desktop/tablet (responsive or not) and a template for cell phones, with correct "vary header" and meta alternate tag, we will be good for google, right?

is this how your template works?
