Hi SEO-Bas! Just checking, is the issue resolved? I want to make sure you get the help you need, if not.

Hi Bas! Great Question! Its mainly depends on the links you have. If the back-links are authoritative and people visited your website using those links they will defiantly help in index the pages and pass the link juice although they are year old. But if those links does not have such significance then it might not help!

Thanks! Glad to hear my thought process was correct.

Thanks Patrick, this is really helpful! I'll look into using the reviews in other ways, there's hundreds of them so it would be a shame to not use them to the fullest. Thanks again, Bas

Hi  T and RafalJ Thanks for your question and reply - it got me doing some more research and I followed RafalJ's lead (link). It was not clear to me how RafalJ's solution solved the initial problem which was avoiding duplicate content problems but now I see how it works. I found this question has come up before on Moz: Geotargeting Duplicate Content to Different Regions (http://moz.com/community/q/geotargeting-duplicate-content-to-different-regions-href-and-canonical-tag-confusion) and includes a link to this article in Dejean SEO (http://dejanseo.com.au/canonical-vs-hreflang/) (recommended by the ubiquitous Gianluca Fiorelli). The DejeanSEO articles provides another angle in support of RafalJ's suggestion. cheers Neil (sorry about the naked links - typing on my ipad and the links popup does not play nice)
