Google is providing mobile optimization tips all this week on their Google+ channel and as expected, most of them are pretty basic stuff.
For example, yesterday afternoon, Google shared that when you do dynamic serving you want to (A) let Googlebot know that the content varies based on user agent by using the Vary HTTP header: Vary: User-Agent and (B) treat Googlebot like you would treat any other device.
