My localized domains are not getting any love or juice it seems?
-
Not sure what best practices are, but I have my main domain, a .com and my localized domains, .com.sg and .co.id. As you can see from the screenshot from opensite explorer, i am not getting any linkjuice from my .com domain to my other local domains - what am i doing wrong here?
-
I suggest you should go with Jane's suggestion. create folders. Subdomains are actually seen as different sites. Will not carry the domain authority of the parent site.
-
Hi again,
This is definitely an option - you would probably be best to consider www.name.com/sg/, www.name.com/id/ instead of subfolders however, because subfolders can often be treated like separate sites, just like totally separate domains are. Subfolders tend to inherit much more of the authority of the parent site.
This is something to consider, especially if there is no good reason (like regulations in different countries or local markets with people who particularly like domains targeting them personally) for them to remain separate.

The content is actually different.
-
First question is why do have multiple domains? I assume that the content is same.
-
What about the option of merging my domains to subdomains? ie co.id becomes id.NAME.com?
Isn't this an option?
-
I will suggest to gather links from authoritive sites and also increase your width of linking domains. means you need to get good links from various types of sites related to your site's business. Increase unique linking back domain count.
Are these different domains are having same content in different languages or for different geographical audiences?

Hi Jane,
Thanks! Would you recommend that i combine all of my domains into the main .com one instead? Since it seems that google/moz is treating my localized domains as separate sites altogether, it seems that it would be wiser to just move the locality into the .com domain, ie sg.NAME.com instead of NAME.com.sg? or how about NAME.com/sg/ ? Is this a good way to do it?

Hi,
It looks like your .co.in and .com.sg domains have only two linking C-blocks, meaning that there are only two physical places (servers) on the internet that link to them. I am guessing that those two locations are your other domains.
In order for a site to accumulate authority, it needs to be linked to from a range of other websites, not just one or two. I believe this will be why Moz has calculated those domains as having very weak profiles. In contrast, 284 c-classes (unique servers, basically) are linking to your .com. I imagine these links come from a variety of sources in a variety of places and include sites owned by a very large number of different people. You need to build out the other domains' link profile as well, gaining links from a similar variety of sources. Then the sites' metrics (mozrank, moztrust etc.) will rise as well.

Geo / Location-Based Local or City Level Rank Tracking in SEOmoz
Is location-based rank tracking going to be a feature in SEOmoz any time soon? I've seen in a few other company's tools that I can select a city in which to center the search around, for example... if I track the keyword "pizza" and set it to check rankings for "Seattle", it would give me different results than I've I selected "Milwaukee". The reason for the variation in results is due to maps listings in the results sometimes. So, my question is, will location-based rank tracking be coming to SEOmoz soon? Scott

NoFollow Links from Subdomain to root domain better than DoFollow Links?
Our service at fotograf.de is a shopsystem for professional photographers. The customers can build their own website with our tool including an onlineshop to sell their pictures. Here is my question: One part of the customers use subdomains of our site like photographers.fotograf.de. On each customer website we include a backlink to our homepage www.fotograf.de. From SEO view is it better to set these links as NoFollow Links? Or should we put one Follow Link on the starting page on each site and on the other pages only NoFollow Link? Are these links bad for our SEO regarding link diversity because they all come from one root domain? Thanks for the answers! Sebastian

Google UK rankings don't seem to be accurate.
Just a quick question - I am tracking the keyword 'chemistry teaching resources' as part of a campaign and our site comes up at number 4 on a google.co.uk search for this however in the rankings report section of our account, we are ranked at number 50 for this keyword in the 'google UK' column. Does anybody know why this would be different? It is also different for a number of other keywords in the campaign. Any help you could give would be much appreciated. Thanks
