International SEO - cannibalisation and duplicate content
Hey Simon, The Australia is lang="en-au" The UK is lang="en-gb" The US is lang="en-us" We've tried to keep these as tight per country as possible so opted not to use the straight 'en'. In analytics, there has been some reduction is language referrals, mainly "en-gb" falling from the number one language type for the US site, which is a positive. Interstingly enough, once we removed the .co.nz fro mthe Index the .com site remove in to dominate the SERPs for brand and some core-KW searches in Google.co.nz. Its a little unfortunate as Panda, from my understanding, is keen to spare ccTLDs from any harsh devaluations, but we'll hopefully be able to hit whatever threshold for % of unique content in the near future. We have review functionality planned for each TLD which should help add value to existing duplicate content. Once this is up and I have some more robust data I'll pull a post together for YouMoz. Thanks for the feedback! Kian
