This would work great if I am building a website and their mobile site. Any thoughts?

This would work great if I am building a website and their mobile site.

Any thoughts?

This is something that I think is really underestimated on the web, and people moving into mobile should consider a single domain one oftheir highest priorities. Being able to use all of the SEO from your website for both the web and the mobile version of a site brings massive time and efficiency savings to running your site, not to mention better SEO in general. SEO is hard, and even harder when you have to do it twice for the same content on two different domains. By using two domains, you're effectively competing with yourself for SEO. I wouldn't use a different domain for IE and Firefox versions of my site, so why whould I use a different domain for web and mobile versions? Sematically, you are displaying the same web resource to the user, and thus it should be identified by the same URI. Nice little post.

Agree 100% with the frustrations of hitting a domain and getting a full-blown website which is inappropriate for my screen size. BUT i do think there should always be the option for the user to goto the full-website if they want. Twitter.com does this pretty well (but shame on the actual mobile site) Great little post!
