  • Canonical and hreflangs are always full url and you can't use relative addresses: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/localized-versions?hl=en "Alternate URLs must be fully-qualified, including the transport method (http/https), so: https://example.com/foo, not //example.com/foo or /foo" https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/consolidate-duplicate-urls So you need to remake your example with full URLs like: protocol://domain (with or withour WWW.)/path/to/some/folder/ Also avoid geotargeting for IP.  This can went you on deep issues since Googlebot is crawling mostly from US IP. Therefore Google NEVER can see your UK links. Source: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/locale-adaptive-pages?hl=en "If your site has locale-adaptive pages (that is, your site returns different content based on the perceived country or preferred language of the visitor), Google might not crawl, index, or rank all your content for different locales. This is because the default IP addresses of the Googlebot crawler appear to be based in the USA. In addition, the crawler sends HTTP requests without setting Accept-Language in the request header."

  • Hi Martin. Thanks for the reply. The results are similar in terms of content type, but there are significantly more results when a z is used and not an s. I am concerned that if I use a z, my UK audience will think of me as illiterate (especially if I am not consistent). I can't maintain American spelling throughout all of my writing. I guess I have answered my own question: I either use English UK spelling or got all out and use English US completely. I would expect Google's AI to overlook such a trivial thing, but I am not convinced! Catch 22, I think.

  • I don't know what happened with my previous response, but I'll reply again. I have disabled Yoast SEO plugin and suddenly dozens of pages with images attachment started appearing on google when I type my site name. But the original posts still are not being indexed. Today I installed a WordPress plugin to redirect these image posts to the original post and I hope to have the problem solved in the next days. Unless that Google is so evil or if there's another weird problem in my site. Google Search Console is also showing hundreds of extra pages being indexed as follows in the image. iLtfxeHBhzVpvscj6

  • Tillamook Cheese Factory – All You Need to Know For many in the Northwest, the Oregon Coast is a favorite vacation destination, and while the ocean is certainly a getaway highlight, it's not the only one. A stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory can be just as memorable. After all, what is a vacation without delicious cheese? History Tillamook has its roots in the 1850s, when local farmers began raising dairy cows in the lush coastal area. Today's Tillamook Cheese Factory tour still offers a nod to its beginnings with a schooner ship as its logo; That's the Morning Star, the first official ship from Oregon that dairy farmers used to move their products to Oregon, as it was faster than crossing land. Tillamook is known for many dairy products, from yogurt to cheese, but its cheddar cheese is one of the most popular products the factory produces. And this delicious cheddar cheese is also part of the company's history, dating back to 1894 when Peter McIntosh brought his cheddar cheese recipe to the area and showed it to local cheesemakers. This momentous event led to the recipe for cheddar cheese that is still used to this day. In 1909, what was once a network of small independent dairies began to change when several dairies joined forces to form the Tillamook County Dairy Association. This was the beginning of Tillamook as a brand and when things really started to take off. In 1947, Tillamook began making ice cream, and although they did not offer the range of flavors that the company offers today, this was still a step in the right direction, as Tillamook ice cream is one of the best you will find in stores. of groceries. shelving! In 1993 sour cream joined the party, in 1994 came yogurt and their three year special extra strong vintage white cheddar cheese. During its more than a century of creating some of the tastiest dairy products in the world, Tillamook has continued to add new products and win awards across the board. While it's easy to find Tillamook at the grocery store, it's even better to visit the fountain. What to do there For decades, Tillamook cheese factory tours has had a visitor center where true cheese believers can learn more about how their favorite snack is created. In 2018, the company built a completely new, larger visitor center with the famous aerial view of the cheese making process. You can visit the shop and cafe, and buy cheese in abundance (often cheaper and in more variety than you will find in the supermarket), or enjoy breakfast or lunch at the cafe. For dessert, don't miss the ice cream counter. If you're not sure what to try, there are plenty of samples to help you figure things out. While cheddar cheese is popular, diversify. Tillamook tour makes all kinds of cheese that are less commonly seen in stores. Try white cheddar with smoked black pepper or some aged white cheddar. The temporary visitor center also has many displays for you to learn about the cheese-making process. Visits to the visitor center are free and self-guided. Visit the gift shop The Cheese Factory is a shopper's paradise. You'll find many cheese products, as well as Tillamook T-shirts, toys, and other merchandise. They even have a fully stocked gourmet shop where you can browse for treats like smoked salmon, marionberry jam, and other Oregon favorites. Be sure to pick up a souvenir!

  • A search engine can discover the pages not only through the sitemap. External links can have different formats and the webmaster doesn't control them. That's why the canonicals are always recommended.

  • If I understand the OP's intent, it is to target countries, not languages. Hreflang can specify alternates for a language, or a language-country combination, but unfortunately not just for a country. So, as the OP has proposed, yes you do need to specify the language and the country. And that does bring up a dilema faced by many of us in terms of what language to use. If your content is in all English, then yes you should use like "en-FR". BUT, you might also want to include an "fr-FR" as well, pointing to the same alternate URL. Because there are going to be a lot more France-based visitors on Google whose browser settings are for French language than English. For sure, both do exist (there are native English speakers in France too), but you don't have to choose one. You can include both. Google may not completely respect your directives since the content is in English (assuming that's the case), but it's what I would recommend. So, for each country (assuming the content is in English), include both an English and a language-specific hreflang tag (pointing to the same destination) for that country. Since your last example uses "es-ES", I assume maybe that you're planning to also publish some content in Spanish language. But if not, again, realize you can include multiple hreflang tags for a single country, and pointing to the same page. I also don't know where you are based. But if the business is US-based, I wouldn't duplicate US also as a localization. Rather, I would make that the default. Or, if you are based somewhere else, same thing, but with that country. On question 2, you can set up a GSC property for folder paths (www.example.com/fr/), and target those. I would not target the root level (www.example.com) in your case, because that would also apply to all the subfolders. That's one of the advantages of using subdomains instead of subfolders, is that you can target each independently. But with subfolders, you can target all except the root (because it would cascade downward). On question 3, you should do the same as you do in number 1, as long as you are duplicating those pages in each subfolder. Otherwise, if you don't give a directive of which page to index, since they are duplicates, Google is going to choose for you. And might not choose the one you prefer.

  • My feedback here is that if none of the content differs, and is all in the same language, then it makes most sense to point all those other domains to the one global site. But, if you have different products or information in the different countries, or if you are maintaining your site in multiple languages then the decision becomes whether to use separate domains, subdomains, or folder paths. All of those 3 approaches are valid, and each has pros and cons. But your question seems to be about whether or not to have a global site versus separate sites, and so my answer is that you should have one global site if you only maintain one language and the content/products are the same in all geographies.

  • Hi Aspirant Yes, you are correct. IP Address and hosting of your website also effect on ranking. In my situation I also faced so man times. However, there are some websites which changes doesn't affect ranking. You need to check your Security and Manual action in Google Search Console of our website. Also Don't Forget to check coverage of the site Thanks and have a good day Ali SEO Speciaist in elabhouse
