How to handle subdirectories in Moz and Webmaster Tools?
-
I have 3 websites:
- http://www.abc.com (English pages)
- http://www.abc.com/fr (French)
- http://www.abc.com/de (German)
Webmaster Tools
In Google Analytics: I created an Account called ABC and created 4 properties with relative filters
- ABC Default (No filter)
- ABC English (filter to exclude /fr, /de)
- ABC French (filter to include /fr)
- ABC German (filter to include /de)
In webmaster tools, I wish to add 3 sites
- How do I validate each url with Google analytics, considering I just want the specific language for folder.
- How do I validate the domain name http://www.abc.com to always ensure the inclusion of the default english data?
MOZ
- Do I need to create 3 campaigns (one per language) and if yes, again how do I handle http://www.abc.com which should exclude /fr and /de?
Thank you

Anyone else has any idea ?

Thanks for your answer.
What is everyone else doing?

Hello!
For multi-language sites we recommend using sub-domains to completely isolate one language opposed to having a sub-folder configuration.
There isn't a way that I know of that would allow you to exclude /fr and /de which would not allow you to track them at all if they are blocked in your robots.txt file.
For both configurations you will need to create 3 campaigns.
Someone from the community may know of a workaround as there isn't one we are aware of. I will set this to a discussion and hopefully someone might be able to chime in.

Keyword Difficulty Tool Problems?
I was just using the keyword difficulty tool and for some reason, some of the keywords show "not enough data"...I'm not sure why this is the case because a few days ago, there was data... Anyway, is this because it take time for the tool to gather data each month, or is it because there's an issue with the GoogleAPI? Thanks a lot for your help!
