Google Adds Examples For Deceptive Sneaky Redirects

Google announced they have updated two of their webmaster guidelines documents to better describe ways you should not use redirects to trick or manipulate Google's search results.
The Sneaky redirects added examples, including an example of mobile redirects. Here they are:
  • Search engines shown one type of content while users are redirected to something significantly different.
  • Desktop users receive a normal page, while mobile users are redirected to a completely different spam domain.
