Patent Filing for Google Mobile Search Provides Indexing Clues
Dec 28, 2006 at 10:20am ET by Bill Slawski
Mobile search has its own rules, and if you want your pages indexed for people searching with handhelds, it may help to take a look at some of the patent applications that have come out lately from Microsoft and Google on the topic.
Microsoft provided some details about what they are looking for in a patent filing from September, Mobile friendly internet searches. They note there that they will only index some pages for their mobile search. And Google…
Google underscores that same point in a patent filing from this last week.
I have more about the patent application and some of the details in an SEO by the Sea post: How Google Might Decide to Index Your Site for Mobile Search.

Thanks for bringing this to SearchEngineLand and for the quick link update! I may have missed this patent had you not made the effort to share and so this is a helpful post.
Thank you, Andrew.
Some of these are difficult to find, like this one from Google. The title wasn’t really helpful (Electronic content classification ), and I hadn’t heard of the authors before. It’s the kind of information, though, that maybe they should share more openly – it might get more people to design their sites better for mobile.
