: Google search results mobile adding ?m=1 to end of site address I recently helped a friend migrate from Blogger to Wordpress. Everything is working great, and everything seems to be propagated.
I recently helped a friend migrate from Blogger to Wordpress. Everything is working great, and everything seems to be propagated. Google search results are already displaying the new site information, but I've run into a small problem.
When I search for her site on google from my desktop, results are fine. However, when I search on a mobile device, the search results appear to be okay but when you actually click the link it adds ?m=1 to the end of the site address, causing the link not to work.
I think ?m=1 was a Blogger thing - so I'm not sure why it is still doing this when nameservers are updated, and Google obviously reindexed the site.
My question is this - is there something I can do to prevent this from being added to the end of the site address for Google search results? Or do we just have to wait for Google indexing/crawling to take care of that?

What you can do is create a redirection either through a webserver configuration file (such as adding rewriterules with a R=301 flag in apache's .htaccess) or modify the section(s) of your script that is handling the m=1 parameter so that it redirects to the valid site without the m=1.
When you are done the changes, update at least the sitemaps containing the affected URL's and re-upload them to your google webmaster tools account so google knows to try to index the new pages.
To do it the script way, add this in PHP:
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Redirect",true);
header("Location: example.com/path/to/mobile/page ,true);
But of course, change the actual location to reflect the real page without the m parameter.
Let me know your progress and I can update you with a better answer if needed.
