Anyone else?

Anyone else can shed some light on this?

Thanks!

Hey guys,

A company I consult for has a different site for its users depending on the geography. Example:

When a visitor goes to www.company.com if the user is from the EU, it gets redirected to http://eu.company.com

If the user is from the US, it goes to http://us.company.com

And so on.

I have two questions:

Does having a redirect on the .com will influence rankings on each specific sub-site? I suspect it will affect the .com since it will simply not get indexed but not sure if affects the sub domains.

The content on this sub-sites are not different (I´m still trying to figure out why they are using the sub-domains). Will they get penalized for duplicate content?

Thanks!

Great! Thanks for the reply.

I'll get to it today.

From what I've been reading, search engines do consider those two to be the same URL (or at least do a good job at figuring that out).

Apparently they might be interpreted as different URLs. This adds to the confusion

From reading 3 articles and watching one video I have changed my understanding of this 4 times.

Can someone expand on this a bit further?

Ok, I see where I made a mistake:

I did the report card using http://www.bbguard.com.ve/ and it gave an error because the canonical is set up to be http://bbguard.com.ve

I just did the report card using http://bbguard.com.ve/ and it passed.

Is the www vs non www something I need to resolve?

Hey guys,

I'm having a hard time grasping canonical links and the warnings I'm getting on my report card.

I'm using Yoast SEO Plug-In and can see that every page on my site has a canonical reference to the URL of the page I'm at.

Can someone please enlighten me on this subject. I'm reading everything I can about Canonicalization (honestly...an easier word please) but I does not make sense yet.

Thanks!

I added the notice I'm getting on my report card.

This is my domain http://bbguard.com.ve
