Hosting set up in different country
-
Hi Guy's,
I was wondering if it matters if your hosting servers is set on a different country than where you're website is targeting (.de (germany) website and the server is in france)
Thanks!

Well - this was asked many times and answer is No. Here are more info about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXt23AXlJJU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keIzr3eWK8I https://www.seroundtable.com/seo-geo-location-server-google-17468.html https://moz.com/community/q/does-the-location-of-my-server-effect-my-seo
But if you are using generic domain (not ccTLD or SearchConsole targeting country) this could be problem - https://builtvisible.com/ip-location-search-results/ They have .com domain and targeting UK market
So - if you have .de domain and in SC you set preferred geo location to Germany and your server is located in France (near Germany) then you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Hreflang usage for language & country x only language
Hi guys, I´m dealing with a website of a client where hreflang tags are implemented as follows: As you can see the hreflang tags reference language & countrycode as well as only the languagecode with the same URL (for french: website/fr/ihr-besuch/online-tickets" hreflang="fr-fr" as well as hreflang="fr" href="https://www.website/fr/ihr-besuch/online-tickets"). Is this a problem and should be corrected so that either language & countrycode is referenced or only languagecode? Thanks in advance!

Website in English targeting different countries - is it worth investing in .com?
Hi, I was wondering... Let's say there is a company in Norway and It sell tours in Norway. Website is only in english, content stays exactly the same for each country (as the website is for people looking for tours in Norway). The domain is registered with .no ccTLD. Main target is USA, Canada and Uk and couple of other countries in Europe. Would the website benefit from having .com instead of .no? Thanks!

ALT attribute keyword on the same image but different pages
Hi there, As i'm sure you're probably aware, moz advises to use a keyword within the ALT attribute on pages... On a new website I am launching, I have the ability to add an alt keyword to image headers. On multiple pages we have the exact same image but with different keywords associated them inside the alt attribute. The image itself is a collage of different images and so the keywords used can, quite sneakily, match the image. My question is therefore, will using different keywords on the same image on different pages have a negative effect on SEO? Thanks, Stuart

We just recently moved site domains, and I tried to set up a new campaign for the new root domain, but it threw an error?

If microsoft (bing) owns yahoo, then why are the rankings different?
Same keywords, different positions of different companies. Aren't they using the same algo for their rankings?
