Welcome to the Q&A Forum

The problem is that the domains have been online for years and they are all .com domains. So we will need to start fresh with new ccTLD domains. Also, for the duplicate content problem, UK and US would be considered as duplicate content as both are in English, unless we create content for each website. Thank you for your help Istvan.

Hi BruLee, I'd recommend setting up directories for each language and using the rel="alternate" hreflang="x" tag For more info how to use it: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=189077 Good luck! Chris

I have to seo several sites like these and normally what i do is I make sure that the one page is fully optimized and then I add a blog section to the site which allows me to add more keywords naturally.  This I have found to be an effective way while still maintaining the site integrity and design.  It also allows you to provide fresh content to the site which makes the site not stale, which Google loves.  Just remember to have a schedule of adding fresh content to the site, make sure the content is over 400 words and just keep plugging away at it and you will increase the amount of keywords you are ranking for as long as you are keeping your back linking strategy and not only doing onsite optimization.  Hope that helps.

Hi You have two ways If use Apache you can do with .htaccess If you use Windows you can do with IIS The advantage of this action is that you take domain authority of the first site( for example without www) for the benefit of the other domain( for example with www) Can you comunicate to  google with webmaster tools, also after: "Will the www. links replace the non-www links when it comes to keyword rankings?" I think that you don't lose the ranking positions Ciao Maurizio

stand corrected, what i meant was to set the preferred domain on GWT and do the 301 via the servers. Thanks for pointing that out Keri.

You should change the links on your website to link to the www version.

First question, it's personal preference. Just be sure you decide early on what you want to do, then stick with it. Changing it after the fact is where you're going to lose out a  bit. Second part, if you're using web publisher, look at the long-term strategy for URL structure before making the switch. ID's will probably still be necessary/recommended, but that's not to say you can't spruce them up with article titles and page numbers as well.

Absolutely. I don't know how much work you've done with local SEO, but I'd also consider doing things like citations, Google+ Local pages, etc for each of your store locations. And also create pages for specific country themes - like all the football shirts from France (assuming that's one of your countries).
