Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi! We have our content under two subdomains, one for the English language and one for Spanish. Depending on the language of the browser, there's a 302 redirecting to one of this subdomains.

However, our main domain (which has no content) is receiving a lot of links - people rather link to mydomain.com than to en.mydomain.com.

Does the 302 passing any link juice? If so, to which subdomain?

Thank you!

Hi there! All our content is in two languages: English and Spanish, but they're basically the same (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter). We have the English content under a subdomain (en.mydomain.com) and the Spanish one under another subdomain (es.mydomain.com). First of all: is that correct? Is it better to have it under folders or under subdomains?

But the most important question. When a user enters to mydomain.com is redirected through a 302 to the Spanish subdomain or to the English subdomain, depending on the language of his browser (microsoft.com works this way). We have now a lot of links pointing to mydomain.com but... where is all this link flow going?? Are we losing it?

Should we have a landing page under mydomain.com pointing to both subdomains? or maybe redirect it through a 301 to just one of the subdomains, then redirect the user to his language if necessary?

Thank you very much!!!

Yes, the fall has been the same in all sections of the web

Hi,

I’m writing you because we have noticed in Google Analytics account, a huge fall in the SEO traffic of mywebsite, starting suddenly in one precise day.

The difference between this day and the previous one is: -46,36% . Traffic has fallen in all parts of the site in the same way. Some details:

-       we did not make any relevant change to the website

-       we haven’t been banned by Google (or we don’t have any message about it in GWT)

-       the number of the landing pages remains approximately the same

-       the number of indexed keywords falls from 9.000 to 4.000.

-       around 2 weeks ago we found out around 120 pages with 404 error, but the error now is solved and the pages are currently working

• we open the content to Google about 4 months but still we have not published our Site Map.

I know that the 404 error could could affect the indexation, but do you have any other idea, apart of this, of what could have happened? Thanks!

If I did understand well, that's exactly what is happening. We're outranking them for the most important keyword for our homepage (which is the same keyword for them) but they're beating us up in all deeper pages - even if we have a very similar structure...

And our domain and homepage has a better link profile than theirs according to Open Site Explorer.

Hi there! We have been doing a great effort during the last year but our main competitor is still above us in search rankings. Basically, the main differente remains now in the number of internal links, specially in our homepage. We have more than 200 and they only have around 100, so I think we are wasting too much link power among some irrelevant pages. What could be the effect of this?
