mobile version of the URL when it's accessed
from a mobile device. In this case, the content
on both URLs needs to be as similar as possible.

Glossary
One of the most common problems for webmasters who run
both mobile and desktop versions of a site is that the mobile
version of the site appears for users on a desktop computer, or
that the desktop version of the site appears when someone
accesses it on a mobile device. In dealing with this scenario, here
are two viable options:
When a mobile user or crawler (like Googlebot-Mobile) accesses the
desktop version of a URL, you can redirect them to the corresponding
mobile version of the same page. Google notices the relationship
between the two versions of the URL and displays the standard
version for searches from desktops and the mobile version for
mobile searches.
If you redirect users, please make sure that the content on the
corresponding mobile/desktop URL buy now matches as closely as possible
(1). For example, if you run a shopping site and there's an access from
a mobile phone to a desktop-version URL, make sure that the user
is redirected to the mobile version of the page for the same
product, and not to the homepage of the mobile version of the
site. We occasionally find sites using this kind of redirect in an
attempt to boost their search rankings, but this practice only results
