Google has announced a few changes to the Search Queries feature in Webmaster Tools, improving stats for mobile sites and getting rid of rounding.
For webmasters who manage mobile sites on separate URLs from the desktop versions (like m.example.com), Google will now show queries where the m. pages appeared in results for mobile browsers and queries where Google applied Skip Redirect.
Maile Ohye developer programs tech lead explains
- Queries where your m. pages appeared in search results for mobile browsers
- Queries where Google applied Skip Redirect. This means that, while search results displayed the desktop URL, the user was automatically directed to the corresponding m. version of the URL (thus saving the user from latency of a server-side redirect).
The change enabling users to view search queries data without being rounded will become available in Webmaster Tools over the next few days.
