I know a fair bit about SEO, but I've run into an issue that I hadn't really thought about before.
I was analyzing inbound traffic to my site, and it appears that a lot of traffic (17%!) seems to be coming from mobile devices. So I pulled up my site on mobile and realized that my mobile redirect script is keeping users who use search strings via Google from hitting sub-pages to my site (projects specifically), therefore I'm not getting the overall correct PageRank for those sub-pages thanks to this mobile setup.
For example, a typical user might search for a string related to some project I've done (in this case, "bloom", such as the one that follows (4th or so link from the top to DM.com) http://anonym.to/?http://www.goo…
On mobile, when they hit that page, I can't tell if it's registering the actual page visit, or if the re-direct is executing so fast that the page visit isn't counted, and instead I'm not getting any weighted value for these types of searches.
Thought I would throw this out to the masses... I am about to knock out a new site, and don't want to make the same mistake if I am doing this wrong.
Thanks in advance.

What analytics package are you using? Can't you set up a conversion for those pages? Or set up a mobile website for what you do?

Do you have a mobile website set up, because even GA will record that metric as m.whatever.com or mobile.whatever.com?
