Hey John. I'm redoing my site and my desktop site has a fairly large amount of menu items in the navigation/header. 65 or so links in the header. For the mobile version I'm going to make it much smaller with only 8 links in the menu to our most used pages. How will that effect crawling? What about rankings since minimal "page rank" will flow to other internal pages on the mobile version? Only the mobile bot crawls now yea? Does the mobile bot only see the 8 items or does it have a way to see the full navigation that's in the desktop version as well? How do I know if you've replied in another video?
Thanks for sharing another informative video. When designing websites it is important to optimise them for mobile and follow the guidelines from Google.
