Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello,

We have a news portal, and like other newspapers we have our own content and content from other contributors. Both our content and our contributors content can be found in other websites (we sell our content and they give theirs to us). In this regard, everything seems to work fine from the business and users perspective.

The problem is that this means duplicated content... so my question is: "Should we add the noindex,nofollow" tag to these articles? Notice that there might be hundreds of articles everyday, something like a 1/3 of the website.

I checked one newspaper which uses news from agencies, but they seem not to use any noindex tag. Not sure what others do.

I would appreciate any opinion on that.

Not so much... unless you target Baidu and China.

Hello

We are a company with a website in several languages, one of them is portuguese. Our market is 2 times bigger in Brazil than in Portugal, but obviously Brazil has more potential in the future. In domain.com we have our main site in English.

What would you use? pt.domain.com, br.domain.com or domain.com.br?

In the first case, it means just portuguese, in the second Brazil but it is not geolocalized, and in the third, you are almost ignoring Portugal users...

Duplicating content, doesn't seem to make sense... The content is basically international, so it is just the language that matters.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

Hello

I work for a company which is using this kind of subdomains, that look like domains such as company1.uk.com, company1.ru.com, company1.de.com, but they are obviously not. We also own company1.com where the main site in English lies.

We are one of the leader portals in one financial sector, and I am wondering if our SEO can be hurted by these fake "domains". I understand that we get some effect from the other domains hosted under this domain, and they are probably not as high quality as ours and they are probably unrelated.

**- Would you recommend us to stop using these and use subdomains? So change: "company1.de.com" and use "de.company1.com" instead?

• Should we expect an increase in traffic after this change?**

Any help will be appreciated.
