Wordpress main website and mobile website duplicate content.
- by ObjectiveJ
Basically a client has asked for his WordPress website to be turned into a mobile website as well. I have never attempted this and know nothing about SEO.
However the issue has arisen that this may cause duplicate content issues with Google, and therefore both sites may be dropped in the rankings.
I was looking at turning the website into a mobile site via one of the available WordPress mobile website plugins.
My question is if duplicate content will be an issue? Has anyone ever tried this?
After doing some reading I kind of think it may be possible to tell Google not to index the mobile website, although as I understand it It would be the same set of files. So I am unsure that if I tell it not to index one of them, that it will drop the other one as well.
Can anyone with WordPress and SEO knowledge clear this up for me?
