How to handle subdirectories in Moz and Webmaster Tools?

[seo1212]

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

• http://www.abc.com
• http://www.abc.com/fr
• http://www.abc.com/de

1. How do I validate each url with Google analytics, considering I just want the specific language for folder.
2. How do I validate the domain name http://www.abc.com to always ensure the inclusion of the default english data?

MOZ

1. 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

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.
