Is also does not matter if your mobile website is located on a
.mobi domain.

Depending on your website, you may want to further configure these, but defaults will work well for most mobile websites.

Your Mobile Website and Mobile Content
Depending on how your mobile website serves mobile content for phones etc, you may need to make some changes
in how our sitemapper tool identifies itself during crawling of your mobile website.
