Hello Warriors,

Last morning I have got a message in my Google Webmaster Tools. That is below:

" Stop redirecting smartphone users to the homepage of advanceitbd.com
Dear webmaster of http://advanceitbd.com
Google systems have detected that your desktop site URLs redirect smartphone users to the homepage of the smartphone site rather than the page they found in Search results. This critical issue causes problems for Googlebot for smartphones because it can’t access your smartphone URLs. It also confuses your users."

After visiting my Webmaster Crawl Errors section I saw that there are 25 URLs is blocked.
A screenshot is attached:

My site is responsive, then Why should I got the message. Another question to you, will it harm my Google ranking? How Can I solve it, Please help me.

Hi image2all,

You need to check your code.

Google is telling you that there is a redirect to a different website. An RWD website does not redirect users to a different (mobile) website. So you have something going on with redirects that should not be happening. Perhaps there is some legacy code that needs to be removed, or perhaps your website is coded improperly for RWD?

  Hi image2all,
  
  Yes, it can be harmful to your Google listings, that is why Google gave you a warning message.
  
  You need to ask your website developer to look for the redirect script within your website code and to remove it, or replace it with a search engine friendly script. You might need to go through the source code line-by-line to find it, it all depends on how well organized an commented your source code is.
  
  Thanks

For sure, try some mobile plugin that will allow you to have two separate designs.
