For this to work the mobile subdomain&#8217;s <strong>structure must fully match the main domain&#8217;s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The consequence of failure is spelled out, and it is severe: if the versions are not linked, <strong>both are indexed and both can appear in mobile results<\/strong>. The audience splits between them, and so do the signals that determine search standing. Yandex says outright that without reliable data on the connection, it cannot combine those signals \u2014 which is the strongest argument in its documentation for responsive design over a separate mobile site.<\/p>\n<h2>The requirements common to all three approaches<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Everything must be reachable by <strong>YandexMobileBot\/3.0<\/strong>, and <code>robots.txt<\/code> <strong>must allow the CSS and JavaScript<\/strong> responsible for mobile rendering \u2014 otherwise pages are judged on a broken rendering.<\/li>\n<li>Pages must return <code>200 OK<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>No Flash, Silverlight or Java applets on mobile pages. HTML5 instead, or remove heavy interactive elements.<\/li>\n<li>Content fits horizontally, <strong>no horizontal scrolling at 320 pixels or wider<\/strong>, and text at a size that can be read comfortably.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A naming trap worth avoiding<\/h2>\n<p>Yandex warns that addresses like <code>m.example.com<\/code> may surface in <em>desktop<\/em> results as accidental mobile links, and recommends less ambiguous subdomain names for regional desktop variants \u2014 <code>mos.example.com<\/code> for a Moscow version rather than something that reads as &#8220;mobile&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>Checking<\/h2>\n<p>Single pages through Tools \u2192 Audit pages for mobile compatibility, which takes minutes.
