Hreflang tags and canonical tags - might be causing indexing and duplicate content issues
Hi... I'm sorry to tell you that the answer offered by Gaston is not totally correct. So, in your Spanish page you have these hreflang and canonical annotations: This is not correct because you are not adding also the self-referential hreflang annotation Google is very precise about this, and it states its need in the help pages as well in many Googlers tweets and webmaster office hangouts. The rel="canonical" is correct. Remember that the self-referential and the alternative href URLs must always be canonicals. Finally, regarding the subfolders blocked via robots.txt, yes! that's totally incorrect: if you're blocking Googlebot from accessing the Spanish, French and Italian subfolders, then Googlebot won't be able to parse the code of their pages, hence it won't be able to see also the hreflang annotations... with obvious erroneous consequences.

Are companies buying .company domains?
I have a few of the new TLD's and love the fact you can get something that really says what you do, but you still have to be quick. I have a live site at www.seoconsultant.guru, and got very lucky with www.changing.careers They give some real change to the more standard .com's etc. -Andy
