Generate a sitemap for mobile pages



User: Aaron C. 10 years ago
Hi there

Great software, have been using it to develop my own business site: http://www.tattooremoval.scot for my new business without having to resort to web designers which I can't really afford.

I am a little confused with the whole mobile aspect of EverWeb. The vast majority of users access my site from mobile devices so this is important to me. I have generated a sitemap for my conventional pages, but don't know how to do this to incorporate the mobile pages. When I use your own sitemap automator software, my sitemap includes no reference to mobile pages.

Commonly, the format appears to be:

Desktop pages = www.example.com
Mobile pages = www.m.example.com

Everweb is different and I confess I'm not sure how to label my mobile pages. I have followed the format of

Desktop pages = www.example.com/page1
Mobile pages = www.example.com/mobile-page1

Is there a better way to label my mobile pages?

Is there a way to generate a mobile sitemap with Sitemap Automator or using another tool?

Many thanks for your help

Aaron

You can create separate versions of the sitemap if you create the full site, tablet and smart phone versions of the site on the same project file using directories - or on separate project files - and upload them in sub folders. But you don't need to.

The TRISITE demo expains all this. Go to THIS PAGE to see the structure and how the redirects work.

Run Sitemap Automator for the complete site and upload it to the root folder. The URL for any version of the page will have the device type folder name in it.

Since EverWeb follows Google's instructions exactly for providing mobile directs, including using the canonical urls for mobile sites, Google can determine this automatically and only one sitemap is needed without any modifications.

Basically an EverWeb site tells Google for you that a desktop page should point to a specific mobile page so it can work this out for itself.

Thanks, Roddy - tri-site looks like the way forward for lots of reasons as long as I get the redirect code right in the index.html. Will aim to get that done with tablet optimisation once I've got my head round how it all works. Looks like a major site redesign!

Thank you also, Paul. Might take me a while to get the above sorted, but in the meantime, even though my sitemap makes no reference to any of my mobile pages, when Googlebot-mobile crawls my site it will be redirected to them automatically?

Yes, as long as things are correct, visitors will be redirected.
Here is a google page where you can test your mobile pages in their system.

This is correct. We have code inserted on your site telling Google where you mobile site is for each page.
