Nope. iFrame is a link juice free zone.

That's really great!

Is your own shortner really necessary? I can't imagine it is.

I did this accidentally as well recently and had 100% of my products disallowed from google shopping within 48 hours. Sounds like it's not an option. They need the crawl your images folder to make sure you have valid images in you product listings.

I like that a lot! Can you rewrite product descriptions without maintaining separate databases? Would that involve a custom field or something?

I kinda figured that was the case.

I know it is going to be more complicated then setting the market in WMT. Any specific advise around geo targeting for e-commerce?

Is hosting on a US server a problem if we were going to launch a site in the UK?

I have a client who has 3 ecommerce sites. They are somewhat differentiated but for the most part sell the same stuff. Luckily 2 of them are quite authoritative, old and rank reasonably well.

Most of the visitors and sales come from the US. He wants to start targeting Europe, Mexico and Canada.

What are your suggestions for doing this? Are we better targeting on the main domains? Not really sure how to do that?

Should we use a subdomain and a new store front for each geo?

Should we use a .co.uk .co.mx and .co.ca each with a unique storefront?

It looks like we are moving to a Magento platform so setting up multiple storefronts on a single database is not a big issue.

Anyone have any experience with this?

If you can get a really good relevant domain then go with that, but a hyphenated domain is not really good. I personally have found that I would rather go with short and easy, given the absence of good keyword domains.

SEO can't be my only strategy, especially for a new site, so being able to tell people about my site verbally and them find it easily is more important to me.
