But there are more issues in SEO than mere link building. Some SEO issues where I am wondering about:

- cloaking: what are best practices when you redirect users to a mobile version of your site in order to avoid that a search engine considers it "cloaking"
- dupplicate content: if you make a mobile version of your website, how do you avoid problems with dupplicate content. For example: is it a good idea to block Googlebot and allow Googlebot-Mobile on your mobile site with robots.txt, while you allow Googlebot and block Googlebot-Mobile on the desktop edition of your site? Is a mobile Google Sitemap of any help when you want to avoid that both versions are seen as dupplicate content?
- How to you market the mobile edition of your site, and how do you avoid that the marketting of your mobile edition conflicts with the marketting desktop edition?

That specific post was on mobile linkbuilding, as it's not discussed much in mobile SEO; but the rest of the site contains mobile SEO best practices that should help you. I'll try to answer your questions here.

If it's the same content formatted for mobile users there's nothing wrong with redirecting mobile users to a mobile site. Cloaking is when you show different content to a user than you do to a spider. If you're showing Googlebot Mobile et al the same content that you're showing users, there won't be a penalty.

Some consultants recommend blocking the desktop version of your site to the mobile bot in REP and vice versa. It's not exactly bad advice, but I don't know that it's completely necessary. The problem with duplicate content is that it splits a site's link popularity, and robots.txt exclusion isn't going to solve that problem. Beyond that you have duplicate content issues in mobile if you develop content in multiple languages (cHTML, xhtml, wap, etc), but it's not really a problem for SEO at the moment. Look at the basic Google mobile SERP for the competitive mobile keyword "movie tickets" for verification. MovieTickets.com owns the space because they have duplicate mobile content and desktop content in the SERP. If they were to exclude any of it they would lose traffic from a competitive keyword. Duplicate content, yes. Problem, no.

Can you give an example of what you mean by conflicting marketing? The simple answer is to market to desktop users in traditional media and online, and market to mobile users in places where mobile users will be. I can give best practices for marketing a mobile site, but I'm not sure that's what you're asking for.
