Added sub-folder to GWT no data?
Hi guys,
I've added a sub-folder to GWT: domain.com.au/us/ about 5 days ago.
I have no yet received any data via GWT around the subfolder.
The main domain domain.com.au has been added separately and is receiving traffic.
Any ideas why i'm not seeing data for the sub-folder above domain.com.au/us/
I simply added it as a new property in GWT.
Thankyou.

Hi Jay! Did you ever get your data? Or did these fine folks help?
-
GSC is very finicky, I'd make sure:
- You're using the www subdomain, if that's how traffic typically gets to your site
- Google has domain.com.au/us/ indexed (check by searching for site:domain.com.au/us/ to see all of the pages Google has in its index)
- This subfolder gets traffic (check for organic traffic in Google Analytics)
Hope this helps!

Peter brings up a good check: are domain.com.au/us/ pages in Google's index? If they're blocked, you won't get anything.

Uhmm I thought this was about Google Search Console, not Google Analytics?
-
Sometimes it can take up to a week for data to appear in Google Search Console, but it should be there faster usually. We added hundreds of profiles automatically and within days we received the information. Are you absolutely positive that this folder is already receiving organic traffic?
-
Maybe because content there isn't appear in SERP to generate impressions. You need to check robots.txt, sitemap, hreflang of main site to see how pages in /us/ folder are indexed.

Why some domains and sub-domains have same DA, but some others don't?
Hi I noticed for some blog providers in my country, which provide a sub-domian address for their blogs. the sub-domain authority is exactly as the main domain. Whereas, for some other blog providers every subdomain has its different and lower authority. for example "ffff.blog.ir" and "blog.ir" both have domain authority of 60. It noteworthy to mention that the "ffff.blog.ir" does not even exist! This is while mihanblog.com and hfilm.mihanblog.com has diffrent page authority.

Will we be penalised for duplicate content on a sub-domain?
Hi there, I run a WordPress blog and I use [community platform] Discourse for commenting. When we publish a post to Wordpress, a duplicate of that post is pushed to a topic on Discourse, which is on a sub-domain. Eg: The original post and the duplicated post. Will we be penalised for duplicating our own content on a subdomain? If so, other than using an excerpt, what are our options? Thanks!

Why is Google Ranking the Umbrella Category Page when Searching for Sub-Categories Within that Umbrella Category?
I have an e-commerce client who sells shoes. There is a main page for "Kids" shoes, and then right under it on the top-navigation bar there is a link to "Boys Shoes" and "Girls Shoes." All 3 of these links are on the same level - 1 click off the home page. (And linked to from every page on the website via the top nav bar). All 3 are perfectly optimized for their targeted term. However, when you search for "boys shoes" or "girls shoes" + the brand, the "Kids" page is the one that shows up in the #1 position. There are sitelinks beneath the listing pointing to "Girls" and "Boys." All the other results in Google are resellers of the "brand + girls" or "brand + boys" shoes. So our listing is the only one that's "brand + kids shoes." Our "boys" shoes page and "girls" shoes page don't even rank on the 1st page for "brand + boys shoes" or "brand + girls shoes." The only real difference is that "kids shoes" contains both girls and boys shoes on the page, and then "boys" obviously contains boys' shoes only, "girls" contains girls' shoes only. So in that sense there is more content on the "kids" page. So my question is - WHY is the kids page outranking the boys/girls page? How can we make the boys/girls pages be the ones that show up when people specifically search for boys/girls shoes?

No international targeting option showing in GWT?
Hi for some strange reason for one of our sites the international targeting option to select what country to target in GWT is not showing. Usually it shows up like this: http://s9.postimg.org/bkxkkrafi/screenshot_1672.jpg (this is a different site we have in GWT). But it shows up like this: http://s16.postimg.org/im1ysd5z8/screenshot_1673.jpg With no way to change country targeting. My permission level is set as: Owner and are verified. Any ideas on why its not showing up? Cheers, Chris

Pages ending in .ad extension?
My company recently updated it's layout for thumbnails and property pages. Previously they displayed as /Property/123456-123%20MAIN%20Street-SPRINGFIELD-PA-98765 I know that was pretty bad URL structure so I was glad it was being changed, but now property pages are simply displaying as /6294888.ad What the heck is the .ad extension?

Rotating Banner Ad Value?
Sorry if this has been discussed couldn't find a post about it. Was wondering the potential link value of a rotating banner link. Situation 1: A site that wants $50/CPM. Those impressions are random throughout the month and can be on any page within the site. Situation 2: A sidebar banner ad that rotates with other banners. Will these links be recognized and is there link value? Thanks

Does duplicate content on a sub-domain affect the rankings of root domain?
We recently moved a community website that we own to our main domain. It now lives on our website as a sub-domain. This new sub-domain has a lot of duplicate page titles. We are going to clean it up but it's huge project. (We had tried to clean it even before migrating the community website) I am wondering if this duplicate content on the new sub-domain could be hurting rankings of our root domain? How does Google treat it? From SEO best practices, I know duplicate content within site is always bad. How severe is it given the fact that it is present on a different sub-domain?
