Welcome to the Q&A Forum

When looking at the backlinks for a client's competitor I found that they had a backlink on search.yahoo.com/reviews and our domain (harmonyhit.com) did not. I was using the Link Explorer tool.

However, when I go to yahoo Search I see that the website of harmonyhit.com is indexed in Yahoo search and has links to the site. Also, it's sitemap has been recently crawled in Bing webmaster tools which Yahoo uses.

Why does our client have the backlink accounted for and we do not?

Thank you for the responses! It does appear that the number of errors for "au" is decreasing and the tool showed me that things are set up properly. I will update if I see the decreasing errors trend reverse.

Hello Moz Community!

I'm reaching out since I recently launched a UK and Australia version of my website. Now, each page on the website has 4 versions:

1. www.example.com

2. www.example.com/au

3. www.example.com/uk

4. www.example.com/en <-- this is a by-product of the plugin we're using, CMS is WP

each page has the following 4 targeting tags on it:

I looked in Webmaster Tools and we're getting an error on what appears to be every Australia page. The error states, ""au"- unknown language code. URLs for your site that have an unknown language code 'au' and their alternate URLs." In Google's own example, they have the language for Australia set as en-au [https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/189077?hl=en}

Has anyone run into this issue before? We had the alternate tag set to "au" at first, but edited the plugin so the alternate tag now says "en-au", but this still hasn't remedied the problem. Any insights into resolving this error are greatly appreciated!

Hello Moz Community,

I'm working with a client who has translated their top 50 landing pages into Spanish. It's a large website and we don't have the resources to properly translate all pages at once, so we started with the top 50. We've already translated the content, title tags, URLs, etc. and the content will live in it's own /es-us/ directory. The client's website is set up in a way that all content follows a URL structure such as: https://www.example.com/en-us/.

• For Page A, it will live in English at: https://www.example.com/en-us/page-a
• For Page A, it will live in Spanish at https://www.example.com/es-us/page-a ("page-a" may vary since that part of the URL is translated)

From my research in the Moz forums and Webmaster Support Console, I've written the following hreflang tags:

/>

For Page B, it will follow the same structure as Page A, and I wrote the corresponding hreflang tags the same way. My question is, do both of these tags need to be on both the Spanish and English version of the page? Or, would I put the "en-us" hreflang tag on the Spanish page and the "es-us" hreflang tag on the English page? I'm thinking that both hreflang tags should be on both the Spanish and English pages, but would love some clarification/confirmation from someone that has implemented this successfully before.

Thank you for the responses! It does appear that the number of errors for "au" is decreasing and the tool showed me that things are set up properly. I will update if I see the decreasing errors trend reverse.
