I have a website with a separate version for mobile and smart phones but the user cannot open the mobile version from Desktop and vise versa the Desktop version cannot opened from Mobile device(s).  Shall i make both version and specially the mobile version indexed by search engines?

Hearing about the problems with mobile browser detection I plan to add a button to my site which enables the users to switch manually between normal/mobile version of the site. The button sets a cookie and reloads the page and the PHP code on the server side seeing the cookie serves exactly the same page with only the CSS link pointing to the mobile stylesheet file.  I heard Google is able to follow javascript code too, so it may "push" the button and sees the mobile version of the site. Wouldn't it confuse Google that it sees exactly the same page (same URL, same content) with only a the CSS link replaced? Wouldn't it consider it duplicate content?

This issue came up  on Worldbuilding:  If somebody is on a mobile device and wants to cite, e.g., Wikipedia, they usually insert a link to the  instead of the regular one. This is annoying for users with immobile devices, while it poses no benefit to users with mobile devices, who should get redirected to the mobile Wikipedia anyway.  I thus request that links to mobile versions of popular web pages are automatically converted to regular ones either in the post source or when rendering the page.  As  mentioned, an author may sometimes explicitly want to link to the mobile version of a webpage but as far as I can tell, this should be the exception. At least for Wikipedia, an automatic conversion would do much more good than harm, because it is very often cited as a resource. For example, until recently, there were at least 82 posts with links to the mobile Wikipedia on Worldbuilding alone (going by  edit spree to remove them)

I have made a web platform for the cab booking service. And I want to ensure the user interface and functionality of my web application is working across different browsers.   But there are many browsers available in the market, can you people suggest me to choose the browsers for testing?

I am scoping a responsive project and thinking it will need views spanning from mobile to desktop. I am just wanting to confirm if it is necessary/helpful to do mockups for all 4 sizes (Extra small devices (phones, up to 480px), Small devices (tablets, 768px and up), Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up), and Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)?

I am creating a new website for a client, and I think a single page website / layout will be pretty neat. There is not that much detailed content, it is a company that imports a lot of products from different companies. So it will be a bit of a showcase of the different types of products / equipment you can order. Of the whole catalog only maybe 10 products are actually shown.  Now I have the basic structure with sections and links like:      #home / #products / #equipment / #services / #contact.    Now from what I understand is that Google does not index links containing #, so there will be no problem of duplicate content, everything will be indexed as the frontpage.  Now what I want to optimize is searching. This company is agent of some product in the country, meaning only they have the permission to import and sell that product. This means  that when somebody searches for product x, this website pops up as the first hit.  Now can I make it that they will be automatically brought to the #products part of the website directly from google.  I was thinking of something like having google index the different sections as different pages. Is something like that possible?

With Google Chrome available for iOS now I'd like to know if it's possible to make Chrome the default browser? I find "open in browser" type options from other iOS apps still take me to Safari.  Not interested in jailbreaking. Looking for a solution that works without having to do that.

I have keyboard shortcuts enabled in my profile. They are great, so I can't imagine answering questions and navigating on SE without them now.   However, I don't expect them to be active when using the mobile web interface. But if you try to use the question search box on the mobile web interface, then you suddenly find the achievements box opening, or the inbox, or the keyboard shortcuts help overlay appearing. Actually entering an h or i or r into the search box is impossible however.   Try it yourself:   enable keyboard shortcuts in preferences  open the mobile web UI (there is a link at the bottom right) select the questions tab select the magnifying glass try and type some search terms   Please don't even load keyboard shortcuts on the mobile web UI. The keyboard isn't even available most of the time. Or at least disable them for the search box.

Attempting to use the site with a Nexus 4.  I came across a question that was a duplicate, so I found the dupe and voted to close.  The only problem:  the button is at the bottom of the modal.  While in mobile view, that means lots of painful scrolling all the way through the question and its answers.  On the normal site this isn't an issue:    ...but on the mobile site...    Here's an example:    This definitely affects usability while on mobile.

When (accidentally) clicking "mobile" in the footer, one gets the mobile site in a regular browser too. To switch back, one can click "full site" in that same footer:    However: when hovering it, the mouse is changed as to select text, rather than to indicate one can click (even though it's clickable).  All other links do change the mouse into a pointer.  (Not a big deal, except when somehow  getting into the mobile mode, I guess.)

I've heard a variety of opinions regarding the pros and cons of using responsive web design recently and was wondering whether it was necessary for small businesses that target small geographical areas to implement responsive web design?   Some sub-questions I have regarding this include:   Is it better to use responsive web design as opposed to having separate code utilized for different dimensions/devices? Can it potentially affect SEO (positively or negatively)? What are the main problems I could run into when optimizing a website for a business using this design method?

I'm talking about links or buttons at the bottom of the page or screen simply linking to the top of the website.  Is there any data on that? Are they used more frequently on long pages? What about mobile?  I know that , but I don't know if people actually know this and I also don't know if it works on Android and WP7.

On the mobile view, the top-left navigation menu has a header which is also a link titled "More Stack Exchange Communities":        This link is broken; it goes to  which is 404.  "Your Communities" is also broken. It looks like maybe the links are using the domain meta.stackexchange.com where they should be stackexchange.com.

I've done a lot of research trying to figure out where to put my breakpoints for designing a responsive site. There seem to be at least three, maybe four common plateaus: phone, tablet, and two desktop (normal and gigantic). What I'm not seeing is a consensus on what those points are. 320 or 480 for phones? 768 for tablets? What for desktops?  What method do I use to determine what good breakpoints will be for my site? (Assume it's a new site so I don't have analytics of previous visitors.)

Is there a specific reason that the number of views is not included as a feature on the mobile version?  I understand there are certain features which are better to be viewed on desktop rather than on a mobile device.  However, the number of views for a question, which is shown along with the topic title on left on the desktop browser shouldn't be much resource consuming to be displayed on the mobile browsers too.  Is it specific to the desktop/mobile browser or is it a feature which is not at all included for mobile browsers.  I am only talking about mobile version and not the mobile application.

Some webpages forces mobile version even I change user-agent. I changed user-agent in built-in browser and "Dolphin Browser HD",  I am checking it on page www.user-agent-string.info  Main problem is engadget.com, always in mobile version. I tried to clean cookies, restart browsers etc.  This is my results:   in built-in browser, user-agent - "desktop"   () doesn't work, redirects to mobile version   in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "desktop"    (NSFW: redtube.com) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version  (allegro.pl) works fine  in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "IPad"   () doesn't work, redirects to mobile version  (allegro.pl) works fine (NSFW: redtube.com) works fine  in "Dolphin Browser HD", user-agent - "custom": Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1   (engadget.com]) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version  (NSFW: redtube.com) doesn't work, redirects to mobile version  (allegro.pl) works fine    Maybe this pages using "adobe flash" user-agent detection ?  (I'am using Asus Transformer TF101, Android 3.2.1, Adobe Flash Player 11)

How do you exactly create a very responsive web design? Do you create application for your website to be responsive when using mobile and/or tablets?

In researching the best practice for adding sites to the Search Console, I've often seen it suggested to add separate properties for different versions of the same website. Even in  it states:     "Similarly, if your site has http:// and https:// versions, you should   add each as a separate site."   I've seen the same suggested for www/non-www. So if a site is accessible at all the variations of http/s and www/non-www we should have four properties.  But what if the site is only accessible at one variant? i.e. https and www are forced via htaccess, so only  can ever be accessed - should we still add all the variants?   In essence, the problem is that I don't know why Google wants us to do this, so I can't work out if it'll be ok just to have one instance.
