Hi

How long aproximately does G take to pass authority via a 301 from an old page to its new replacement page ?

Does Moz Page Authority reflect this in its score once G has passed it ?

Thanks again really is a big help

Ive read that correct charsets are important, i take it that plugin handles that correctly ?

Do you know if plugin should work fine in WP Multisite environment with network childs domain mapped with their cctlds ?

Re: "using x-default and removing the canonical is nonsense" The dev just meant if going down route of NOT using canonicals AND using x-default in the hreflang then would need to suppress Yoast in those instances.

Re:  "In my example, I used two very similar (if not the same langs), however there are things that change, but those are minimal (take as an example a car "hood", in England a "bonnet"). As those are such minimal changes, I don't think a specific version for GB is needed if you are already serving a US version (that's up to you)."    Would you say the same if phrases containing these regional variations (hood vs bonnet) were on your target kw list ? Since i find that whilst Google is getting better at semantic relationships between words i think that they do need to be specifically targeted/appear in content & meta data in order to rank for them, or at least increase chances of ranking for them.

Also re your final paragraph 'car repair centers' would be a logical target kw for such a page so i would have thought it would be beneficial to create 2 versions of this page, 1 for US targeting US spelling & 1 for UK targeting UK spelling (centers vs centres), rather than 1x English to serve both UK & US audiences

Also I would have thought it would be useless showing a list of US car repair centers to UK visitors ?

Sorry for more questions, think that should be it now & thanks again

Thats great thanks Lynn, i just had a response from Moz too saying they will phase out GB so use UK ideally

Thanks everyone

Thanks Oleg !

Yes 'links to site' is of value to me (although i do have other link tools to see this info i like to see what Google is perceiving). But ideally as much of the rest of GSC data too, such as indexed pages etc etc

There is a profile set up in GSC for all the language versions, its just the Turkish version (the only version in a sub-folder) is not being populated with any data so must be something missing in the set up maybe/not properly completed, such as something required for properly finish the set up/integration of a sub-folders on GSC so that it shows data.

Any idea as to how i fix or find out how to fix ?

Many Thanks

Dan

Hi Dirk,

Thanks so much for confirming that !

So is it simply an error that Moz Analytics campaign set up keeps it as an option ?

ok thanks Kate

Seems a tad strange though since all known paid channels being reported elsewhere.

It would be good to know if theres a way to find out whats causing it since all paid campaigns, PPC, emails, display, etc etc being reported in other places and traffic from this 'Google Other' source is 4x current organic search traffic

The problem with Products is that they are are hard to update the content for since they usually (but not always) have an 'evergreen' description. Hence a great way to keep the content fresh is to enable customer reviews and comments on the product page and then encourage customers (via your 'post sale touch points' such as follow up emails saying thanks for your order, hows the product ?) to leave a review of the product (& incentivise them to do so via loyalty points/future discounts).  This will mean the product page is continually populated with new fresh content that is also user generated demonstrating customer/user engagement hence showing 'signs of life' from real people too.

In that case i would be looking to closer associate the reviews to the page content.

I would also concentrate on using the blog etc to generate fresh content and deep link (where directly appropriate and helpful for user) from the blog post to the product pages and of course category pages too (re your response and factoring in Chris' good comments too).  Regular fresh unique content (associated/tied to an author & publisher) of a high quality (hence likely to earn social amplification) linked to the relevant categories and product pages (where appropriate & helpful) will do far more toward those pages being perceived well by G than overly concentrating on changing the content in the category & product pages

Hope this helps

ps - I'm going to Worthing for a 40th tomorrow coincidentally (just checked your profile)

Hi Roy

It depends how similar the products are, if they are simply variations of the same products then i would just list the 1 product and then give multiple options for the different variations.  For example 1 product page for 'Suede Shoes' with selectable further options/variations of that product i.e. Colours available (blue, red, pink) and size available (8, 9, 10 etc)

Hope that helps

thanks Tim, have already looked at that though and im here talking about username not page name
