Mobile redirection

[Nicky]

On many of my blogs I notice I am promoting sponsors that do not give me credit for the moblie traffic. When I check analytics though the mobile surfers seem to enjoy It on my sites and on some mobile is ~30% of the total visits. What will happen to my google serps etc if I just redirect this traffic? I heard somewhere that google does not like when you redirect.

One blog Today as an example I have 150 mobile uniques to, which spend 6,5min average on the site and a bounce of under 17% so that tells me they enjoy the site. On the other hand I get nothing out of them since the main sponsor on that site gives no mobile credit.

So whats the play here?

I redirect mobile traffic on site where i have 3.5 k mobile se traffic daily and so far no losing on se,only going up.I have theory how it's better to redirect it in case of bad bounce rate but you have good bounce rate so it might effect it.Well try it anyway and see what's happen.

Ok. It wont effect my bouncerate though cause the non-mobile is even lower than that, unless when you redirect a mobile visitor It accounts for a bounce?

I think Google would prefer sending your mobile surfers to a mobile site than remaining on a non-optimized site. I watched a video where Matt Cutts said it's not cloaking which would be penalized.

If you don't have an account, sign up to Sexgoesmobile and give their mobile redirect a try. Just ensure to use a php or htaccess redirect instead of a .js version.
