Was Geotargeting subfolders in webmaster tools deprecated?posted in International SEO
I know that you used to be able to geotarget subfolders on your site to certain regions. We recently made some site-scale updates to make all of our regional pages appear in the appropriate subfolder (for example:site.com/france, or site.com/germany).
I recently got admin rights to our site's webmaster tools account that allows us to make these setting changes, but the geotargeting options are only available for the entire site. It still implies on the multi-region site page that you should be able to do this: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182192
| Subdirectories with gTLDs | example.com/de/ |
- Easy to set up
- Can use Webmaster Tools geotargeting
- Low maintenance (same host)
|
- Users might not recognize geotargeting from the URL alone
- Single server location
- Separation of sites harder

Is this deprecated? Is there something I need to do to enable setting regions by subdirectories?Thanks
