Which is the best approach for Mobile SEO?

According to an article on Search Engine Land, the best approach for mobile SEO is a one URL strategy.

One URL Strategy = Full Mobile Site!

A one-URL strategy means that your site URL, or the address of your website, is identical on both mobile devices and desktop computers. This is also known as a full mobile site.

Why is this the best approach?

The one-URL approach for mobile sites is the preferred format of two major search engines: Bing (officially) and Google (unofficially). This means that patients using search engines to look for your services from their mobile devices will be more like to find your site if your mobile site has the same URL.
