Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks. Got your point. You suggest it should be same as the format used in your site not what Google indexed.

Hopefully, Google is taking care of silly canonicalization !!

No, I did not use trailing slash in my home page domain.

It is not about what I use**.Google anyway indexes the domain name with the forward slash /**

Search your domain name or  Seomoz in Google and see.They always index with /.

Thanks

Points noted.

I am targeting users continent wise.

1)North America

2)Europe,Australia

3)Rest

Hopefully,that will reduce the border overlap problem.(?) I do not mind 1 and 2 be mixed just 3 has to be separate due to my business model and vast Purchasing power parity difference.

Will the error be less than 10-15% seeing the above conditions? Any best practices to minimize?

I appreciate your time,Ryan.

Thanks for the answer.

I do not want average users to know what price is offered at other country .Though, somebody going via proxy can know .But,that is not an issue! So,country selection is not an option for me!

I have seen some websites making errors on detecting my country.How to minimize such errors?Is it that difficult for assigning country from IP technically?

My website has 3 services and its price will be different for US/EU/Developed world and Asian/African countries.Apart from pricing page, all other things remain same.

I want to use IP based redirect .I heard this thing is called cloaking and used by black-hat guys.

What kind of instructions should I give to my web developer to look best to Google/Search bots and correctly show visitors the intended prices.Is there any caution to be taken care of.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the answer. I have got some Joomla and wordpress experience.

This time I am going for custom development in .NET for scalability purposes.How does these things are taken care of in custom development?

Thanks!I missed it!

I have done the keyword research for my target and will do the copy writing in-house suited for both visitors and bots.Like suitable headers and mention of keyword in the content,mention of keyword in link,having video in the page if possible etc.

I need some help for a proper interlinking strategy and main question is, what are the things to be taken care of in coding/development SEO wise,which should be told to developer.

I am going for custom development in .NET platform( if it matters anyway )

My site will have 3 products/services page and rest are resources and Q&A community. I am targeting the keywords for 3 products. Q&A community and resources should help me in long tail keywords.

Any kind of advice,suggestion is welcome.

Thanks
