When I add www.example.it/de/ to my GWT sites, it don't ask about verification (because the main domain was already verificated**).**
In Setting/Geo Target there is:
Translated: Geo target the domain is already associated to target: Italy
the same is for the root domain.
Geo target is only for generic domains (and some other particular domain)
bye
Have you targeted the /de folder to Germany (assuming Germany is your preference over Austria) in Google Webmaster Tools?
No, unlucky it is not possible for Country domains.
Did the .com used to be the German version of the site?
No, there is only the index.html 301 redirected on the domain.it/de
Thank you for the links.
Hi,
I have an italian domain (.it) for an italian hotel, it is an old authoritative domain (1997) and it is well optimized for the keywords that include the city the hotel is in, now the page is decently positioned in Google Italy.
There are many problems to have the same rank for German version (in google.de, google.at). The German version is in the /de folder.
The hotel has another .com domain, much less authoritative (2007), in a German server, but it was and is only a simple redirect 301 (by code) to the German version in the .it domain. (obviously the rank for this domain is almost nonexistent).
Do you have any suggestion? Thank you.
I fix the 2 URLs.
In this case domain.com/index.html is the code for domain.com/.
Do you mean to use mode_rewrite and create a 301 redirect from domain.com/index.html to domain.com/ ?
Thank you for your time.
I personally would rewrite & redirect everything using the 2nd option above.
Can you explain me how to do that, please?
How to redirect domain.com/index.html to domain.com?
Thanks
