What I can't reconcile is the difference between Google's approach here and what I see when I search on my old Nokia N95. If I search for "chamonix ski chalet" or "chamonix snow forecast" our website is no where... not even on the first 5 pages... but if I click "mobile" for mobile results we are twice on page 1, and it's the same for most ski resorts worldwide because we are the world's first and only fully mobile ski resort guide (ie not the usual lame snow forecast etc that has no device detection, we're a full ski resort website for the world's top 250 resorts with everything from accommodation to bars and restaurants and weather and piste and lift info etc). The problem is... who is actually going to bother pressing the "mobile" results button when they are looking at the standard desktop results right there? What's worse, when I do these searches on the iPhone, there isn't even a "mobile" button to press so iPhone users will never find us! There is nothing "blended" about that and it's putting us out on the un-visited periphery of the search galaxy - what use is ranking top for all the major ski search phrases, if its on a ranking list which hardly anyone ever sees? Am I missing or missunderstanding something? All best, Richard. Hi Bryson – excellent post.
