Hreflang for over 200 countries
-
Hi all,
Working on implementing hreflangs on a site, but the client has presence in over 200 countries. Does it mean we have to implement over 200 Hrelfangs?
Thanks,
Asad

Thanks guys,
The client has presence in over 200 countries? Does it mean the client should implement 200 lines of hreflangs? The sitemap route appears to be ideal in that case.
Thanks,
Asad

It really depends on how many different sitest that are basically the same they have and in how many languages these pages are available. So if Site A is available in the UK and also in Germany then you would have HREFLang tags to these pages. In addition to that also look into adding the href lang tags to your sitemaps.

No, it doesn't matter how many countries you have a business presence in. How many of these does the client have localized pages/websites for?

Hreflang - different navigation for all countries
Hi all! Currently we are implementing the href lang tag. I'm not really sure how to solve this: We sell our products in the Netherlands and Belgium. For the Netherlands we have 1 category page for pebbles (stones) which contain both rounded and non-rounded pebbles. In the Netherlands there is not really a difference between them (people search for pebbles and that's it). The URL: https://www.website.com/nl/pebbles. In Belgium there is a difference (people specifically search for rounded/non-rounded pebbles). Therefore, in Belgium we have 2 pages (we don't have an overall page): https://www.website.com/be/pebbles-rounded.

https://www.website.com/be/pebbles-non-rounded. My question now is, what to do with the hreflang tags on these pages? Thanks in advance! Best, Remco0 -

Pages with 301 redirects showing as 200 when crawled using RogerBot
Hi guys, I recently did an audit for a client and ran a crawl on the site using RogerBot. We quickly noticed that all but one page was showing as status code 200, but we knew that there were a lot of 301 redirects in place. When our developers checked it, they saw the pages as 301s, as did the Moz toolbar. If page A redirected to page B, our developers and the Moz toolbar saw page A as 301 and page B as 200. However the crawl showed both page A and page B as 200. Does anyone have any idea why the crawl may have been showing the status codes as 200? We've checked and the redirect is definitely in place for the user, but our worry is that there could be an issue with duplicate content if a crawler isn't picking up on the 301 redirect. Thanks!

ex. for the restaurant Wagamamahttp://www.goudengids.be/wagamama-antwerpen-2018/ corresponds to nl-be
http://www.pagesdor.be/wagamama-antwerpen-2018/ corresponds to fr-be
http://www.pagesdor.be/wagamama-antwerpen-2018/ corresponds to en-be The trouble is that sometimes I see the incorrect urls appearing when doing a search in google, ex. when searching on google.be (dutch=nederlands=nl-be) I see the www.pagesdor.be version appearing (french) I was trying to find a fix for this within https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=nl , but this only seems to apply to websites which use SUBdomains for language purposes. I'm not sure if can work for DOMAINS. Can anyone help me out? Kind regards0 -
Open site explorer varied results according to country
We have a global team and we have noticed something unusual. When we do a "Compare link metrics" search in Open Site Explorer in the US our client is beating the competition hands down. When we run the exact same data in Canada, where our client is based, the client has the same metrics, but a few of the competitors numbers are higher. What could cause this variation? Both accounts are full versions, and not freebies.

Redirecting Root domain to subdirectory by IP addresses (country specific)
We are using Wordpress Multisite. so www.mysite.com is our English website and www.mysite.com/sub is our Chinese website Can I redirect Chinese visitors who type "www.mysite.com" to "www.mysite.com/sub" ? so we want to force redirection to www.mysite.com/sub if our website is visited by Chinese IP Address. I've realized that this is called GeoIP Redirection. and our hosting company already has those database, I guess my job is just to simply insert some code in .htacess My question is, would it affect our SEO later on? and what .htacess code is the best practice here?
