It's getting late in the day here, so this is probably a really dumb question.

We are setting up a mobile version of one of our sites, and I don't want to make it a subdomain of the existing domain. I want it a separate entity.

I've registered a .mobi domain. We were going to use the content from the main domain, and port it over to there. Supplement it with mobile specific sponsors etc.

Isn't google going to think the site is just predominantly duplicate content ripped from another site, and give it the googleshaft?

Is linking to the site from the main domain enough to avoid any possible penalties?

Not sure what the best / safest way to do it is.
