Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks mate. That was a very informative answer.

It's not that I am making some hand made items as the example of Matt was but I have a very small amount of deals that come and go every now and then.

I will not redirect or give a 404. I think that I will keep the page but explain that the deal is over and that there are more deals relevant to this one.

Forcible redirecting in my opinion is the worst in every situation except if the intent of the next page is Exactly the same as the previous which 99% of the times is not.

404 could be ok but the deals i offer are hard won and i dont want the traffic to just go into a 404 wall.

Adding the relevant deals seems like the best way to go.

Thanks again

Hey there Mozzers,

If I have a site that is translated in 5 languages with main language as English ( most pages are only template translated top menu and footer ) is this correct?

Right now the main page which is example.com/en is mentioned 3 times in the href code 1st as a canonical later as alternate and 3rd as x default which seems a bit weird.

Hey there Awesome team of Webmaster Forums,

Lets assume that I have a page that have deals in it. Those deals after a certain period of time expire. What should I do with the expired pages?My opinion is this.The page keeps the same URL but inside there is a content saying "Sorry but this deal has expired .... "and have some relevant deals beneath ORRedirect to a universal expired page. Kind Regards

Hey there Patrick,

Thanks a ton for responding to my question.

I too indeed have the hreflang tags within my site but still use a redirection. I will try changing that as soon as possible then.

Also what kind of redirection should i use if someone chooses another language in my site?

Right now the redirection is set as a 301. I have heard a lot of chatter talking about a 302 redirection.

Any opinions?

Hey there awesome Mozzers,

I have a site that it automatically redirects people by using geolocation ( i know that probably is not good ) to the various languages of the site.

I just wanted to know

1. Is 301 or 302 the best option? ( I've heard that for language re-directions 302 is the best case scenario )

2. My main page for example is www.example.com and it automatically redirects with a 301 to www.example.com/en for any language that is not there. What is the best case scenario? Leave it to redirect to /en or just leave it go to the root page www.example.com.

Why use a 302?

Hey there mate,

Sorry to hear that you are having issues. You can actually ask Screaming Frog to use more RAM. If you haven't done that yet please give it a go.

You can find more here http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/user-guide/general/

If you want to crawl part of your site it can surely do that. You can exclude pages or whole sections.

Hope this helps!

Hey there awesome people of Moz

I have this site that has many languages in it.

The main language is English and my developer did the following

www.example.com ( is the main site ) which redirects with a 301 to www.example.com/en

if your geo location is supported by our languages then you will automatically be redirected to whatever language you have in your country but does the first language with is english have to 301 redirect to www.example.com/en ?

I thought that the right way is to just leave /en at the root file.

Thanks in advance

You could actually create one Question for Twitter and Facebook instead of creating two.

Well my advice will be simple.

Read Bufferapp Blog and Social Media Examiner.

Cool to awesome advice in there.

Recently I had that problem also mate.

Thing is if you have any server issues you might get 503.

If your site is on maintenance you might get 503.

If your site gets high traffic and goes down you might get a 503.

Best thing to do is check with Fetch as Google tool from WMT to see how Google sees it.

Hey there Shanaki,

First of all the page looks nice good job with the design.

SEO is a service that takes time to give you fruitful changes.

I take it that the site is fairly new. As far as i know and I admit I am not the best out there SEO takes usually about 6 months of work. You can see small changes within few days but for the real deal you have to wait.

Social Media interaction that you said. I am certainly that not only Google but all search engines care a lot.

Now about the Pagerank you talked about. Yeah I believe it counts a lot. Here is a helpful infographic about it.

Domain authority will grow in time just keep up with your SEO and don't lose hope.

Hope everything turns out good!

I need to know what is the best Press Release company out there and if its still safe to use them.

Thanks in Advance

No indexing the rest of the pages means less results on SERP.

Canonicalising the other pages to page 1 is kinda wrong since its not duplicate content and passing all the link juice to just page 1 is not such a good idea.
