Geotargeting Issues
-
I have a different problem then most. My international website (www.solmelia.com) is showing number one in english for "SOL MELIA" in the Mexican google search engine.
Plus the 3rd listing on google.com.mx is our homepage in spanish but it is showing up as a 401. We need to redirect the ccTLD (www.solmelia.es) to our current spanish version that is actually a subdomain (es.solmelia.com).
Please let me know how I can fix both issues.
-
What sort of server is it hosted on?

Apache Server.

You need to 301 redirect in your htaccess file
redirect 301 / http://es.solmelia.com/
Also, your default file is missing, thuis is why you are getting a 404
if you goto www.solmelia.es it will give a 404
if you go to solmelia.es it will redirect to www.solmelia.es//index_solmelia_es.html then it will 301 again to es.solmelia.com
the above line to enter into htaccess shoudl fix both, find other 301's and remove them.
