Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks Dana, checked out the blog and video...pinned to my RSS feed.

Hi Sheena, sorry I didn't respond sooner, I wasn't receiving any notifications.

Thank you very much for your answer though, this was extremely helpful and helped verify that what I was thinking was correct, with some added help from you.

I didn't think taking away the 301 was the best approach, but from a bosses standpoint he sees it as them getting clicks that shouldn't be theirs, I just have to do my best job of explaining why it's better for long term.

The hreflang is in place and I think the best approach would be to consolidate international domains to the .com ccTLD's

Thanks again, very helpful.
