Improved Search Queries stats for separate mobile sites

Webmaster Level: All
Search Queries in
Webmaster Tools
just became more cohesive for those who manage a mobile site on a separate URL from desktop, such as mobile on m.example.com and desktop on www. In
Search Queries
, when you view your m. site* and set Filters to “Mobile,” from Dec 31, 2013 onwards, you’ll now see:
Queries where your m. pages appeared in search results for mobile browsers
Queries where Google applied
Skip Redirect
. This means that, while search results displayed the desktop URL, the user was automatically directed to the corresponding m. version of the URL (thus saving the user from latency of a server-side redirect).
Skip Redirect information (impressions, clicks, etc.) calculated with mobile site.
Prior to this Search Queries improvement, Webmaster Tools reported Skip Redirect impressions with the desktop URL. Now we’ve consolidated information when Skip Redirect is triggered, so that impressions, clicks, and CTR are calculated solely with the verified m. site, making your mobile statistics more understandable.
Best practices if you have a separate m. site
Here are a few search-friendly recommendations for those publishing content on a separate m. site:
Follow our advice on
Building Smartphone-Optimized Websites
On the desktop page, add a special link rel="alternate" tag pointing to the corresponding mobile URL. This helps Googlebot discover the location of your site's mobile pages.
On the mobile page, add a link
rel="canonical"
tag pointing to the corresponding desktop URL.
Use the
HTTP Vary: User-Agent
header if your servers automatically redirect users based on their user agent/device.
Verify ownership of both the desktop (www) and mobile (m.) sites in Webmaster Tools for improved communication and troubleshooting information specific to each site.
* Be sure you've verified ownership for your mobile site!
