Hi all. Just finished up on our new site (with thanks to Caleb and his brilliant Backdraft) and Freeway Pro7 in time for Google’s ‘be responsive or else’ deadline.
I have a question. Webmaster Tools under Site Errors is reporting a problem with the URLs:
mobile/
m/
The site is on a standard www domain and responsive through breakpoints and coding.
My question is do I leave those alone or do something about the errors?
Responsive sites generally have only one URL per page (if you think of a page as a unique collection of information). If you use the same filenames in the existing mobile site as your normal (and soon to be responsive) then you can just use a blanket redirect from your mobile subdomain back to the base domain.

I thought as much. Just ignore Google’s note on the mobile/ and m/ or should I redirect them to the homepage?
I don’t have any sub domains or alternative mobile versions of the site. I noticed the ‘errors’ in Google’s Webmaster Tools saying that there were broken links to the urls mobile/ and m/ which don’t actually exist at all.
That’s why I was thinking perhaps adding something in the htaccess file to point both to the usual homepage.
Or I could just ignore those errors. Not seen them before as I think it’s a new feature in Webmaster Tools.
