Hi Everybody,
We just set up our new mobi site:
I have been reading up on redirects and I am a little confused. I have seen a couple and I am not really sure which I should try. Ideally we want people who come here:
http://www.thehotelchelsea.com/
to be redirected to our mobi site. What is the easiest way to do this? Easy like in a 6 year-old could do it. : )
Thank you!!!!

Just do a META statement with a Refresh in it, pointing to the new address.
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="0;URL=http://TheChelseaHotel.Com/mobile">
or better yet:
<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="0;URL=http://M.TheChelseaHotel.Com">
with content located at http://TheChelseaHotel.Com/mobile
http://M.SpaceLaunchInfo.Com goes to http://SpaceLaunchInfo.Com/mobile and has the same information content. The mobile site is formatted differently from the "desktop site", and has numbers for choices that can be hit using the telephone dial.
You need distinct Mobile Web Pages so that the user can push the buttons on the telephone dial to maneuver around the Mobile Web Site with only a telephone dial. They could be in an airport with ONLY the web browser on their phone to find your information. Make sure the landing page has the info they need. Especially the TEL: link to dial your phone number for them.
I'm up in Orlando if you need a hand setting it up.

Hi grimmylina,
I think you want visitors with mobile devices to be automatically directed from http://www.thehotelchelsea.com/ to http://chelseahotel.mobi/.
Most people recommend a server site script redirect -ASP or PHP. Try http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/
