missing Smartphone Googlebot

[dimanyc]

Hi,

I noticed that Smartphone Googlebot is not listed in bots.yml. I think it's an important one to have, given the latest news about Google's Algorithm update, and I would like to add it to the list.

Would you please provide a user agent sample?

I have tried with the following code that looks fine:

[1] pry(main)> user_agent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)'
=> "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
[2] pry(main)> client = DeviceDetector.new(user_agent)
=> #<DeviceDetector:0x007fe5a149e538
 @user_agent=
  "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 6_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/536.26 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Mobile/10A5376e Safari/8536.25 (compatible; Googlebot-Mobile/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)">
[3] pry(main)> client.name
=> "Mobile Safari"
[4] pry(main)> client.bot?
=> true
[5] pry(main)> client.bot_name
=> "Googlebot"

I have taken the user agent string from here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com.es/2011/12/introducing-smartphone-googlebot-mobile.html so please tell me if I'm wrong.

Interesting. They must have combined the Mobile and Smartphone bots. Both, however, are still listed as separate crawlers in Google Webmaster. Thanks for your help! Closing.
