hi there,

i would talk about a specific topic: The impact of mulstisite wordpress on seo

Do you think that penalize seo activity ?

i make you an example :  a wordpress network of sites, domain based let the possibility to manage two domain on a single wp install, but even if the domains are separete,

how does google see them, as separate or as a sigle domain?

thanks joseph...

have a good day..

hi experts of seo,
could you help me to set up my multilanguage site?

WHAT'S HAPPENED
we are translating our site and we have to DECIDE the best technical solution for us

SEO target:
we haven't decided yet, anyway  we are going to try to be ranked in other countries, especially in emergent countries

FINALLY we select the different domain strategy ( .it domain for the italian and .com for the english )

so what are my questions?
how to make them linking without having seo problem, maybe with a intro page ?
and how to set up something that might let visitors the possibility to shift from one to the other?

thank you very much

Guido

hi seomoz addicted, i need your help....

did you see the webinar last friday?

i totally agree with randfish,
especially when he talks about redirection;

To create my multilanguage site i inserted a php redirection on my site homepage that redirects visitors to the right domains. everything it was working fine when i realized that googlebot was no more able to index both sites becouse  it was redirected only to one.... i think that i'll create an home page where visitor could select their language and then by setting a cookie that redirects only the returning visitors ... what do you think?

I've just one doubt, shall i put this home page on both domain, and what will be the new url adress of my current home page?

How the new home page have to look like ( in terms of seo )? i mean there will be only an image and two links for the .com and .it domain, isnn't it? and how to put the cookie for returning visitors?

hope to have been clear

thanks,
Guido

thanks mr seo,

i've just cancelled the php redirtect code.... it must be the source of my seo problems....

anyway, i would like to create different sites, but if somebody would like to see the english version?

in that case, should i put a link to the english site? but should i redirect every single page to the corresponding ? or is it better to put a generic link that points to the english home page ?

thanks from a jounior

Hi mr. seo addicted,

first of all thank you for the answer..

i don't know why a 302 redirect is now placed in..anyway my goal is to index the two site in different country, one in italy and one in the united states; so i'll follow your advice  setting different geotargeting option... about the content i'm creating unique content except for the blog that is still under translation..

to shift from one language to the others i decided to put a php code that automatically recognizes the browser  language and redirects users from .it  to .com and vice versa, do you think is a good choice?

finally could you please help me to find the 302 redirect?

thank's for the precious help...

Guido ( seo addicted jounior )

hi seo addicted,

i've got a question for you: i've recently created the english version of a site. to do this i decided to create the same site into another domain becouse i must index the site in  others countries. But now i've got some seo problems; in fact if  you search for "zenucchi" the first result is zenucchi.com ( the new one )... on the contrary  if you searched for that query before it would appear zenucchi.it with 6 under result insted of the .com ..

the point is:

1. is that becouse i've made a mistake by buying to different domains?

2. how can i fix it ?

hope to recive some answers....

thanks, guido

i'm sorry but i don't understand what you mean, i need to have concrete answer in order to solve my problem...so, what shall i do?

sorry if i'm too direct, but i'm a bit tired to read generic question that dosen't help me..

thanks, guido

Hi everyone,

Do you think that google places have influence on organic search? i mean if you are on google places with your companies, your ranking must be better for that query? isn't it ?

if you agree with me i'll bring you this stange case:

my clients has a company profile on google places but it is only fourth on the organic results for that query and his competitor is ranked first with:

• no google places profile
• no authority
• and no company in the city ( in fact it is not in the city but 30 miles far )

the query is "poltrona frau brescia"

poltrona frau= name of the company

brescia= city in wich the company is located

thanks

Hi everyone,

I keep reading answer ,in reference to ranking advice, in wich the verdict is always the same: "TAKE CARE ABOUT THE CONTENT INSTEAD OF PR", and phrases like " you don't have to waste your time buying links, you have first of all to engage your visitors.

ideally it works but not when you have to deal with small sites and especially when you are going to be ranked for those keywords where there's not too much to write.

i'll give you an example still unsolved: i've got a client who just want to be ranked first for his flagship store, now his site is on the fourth position and the first  ranked is a site with no content and low authority but it has the excact keyword match domain.

tell me!!! what kind of content should i produce in order to be ranked for the name of the shop and the city?? the only way is to get links.... or to stay forth.....

if you would like to help me, see more details below:

page:    http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it

keyword:       poltrona frau brescia

competitor ranked first:         http://turra.poltronafraubrescia.it/

competiror ranked second:       http:// poltronafraubrescia.com/

hi everyone,

i need some advice; i'm trying to get first in the organic result for the keyword "poltrona frau brescia" in google italy, i list below the latest action i've been taken on my site ( http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it

• i've just added the site into some directories
• i've just recived some inbound link from a few sites with the anchor text "poltrona frau brescia"
• i wrote some press release that links to the site
• i created a google plus profile
• i created a google places profile linked to the google plus too

actually i don't see the page authority going up but the authority is the same as the domain in wich the site is located.

my goal is to rank first, now the first position is owned by a site with no autorithy but with the exact keyword matching in the domain.

please gays give me some advice to get concrete results, only just a couple of things to follow...

it seems a little bit strage for you but i'm having some troubles with this aim....

thanks a lot,

Guido

Thank you very much...
Your answer seems to be complete... However, i'll write you more details to go in depth.. The site is http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it and the links that i've just recived are

1. http://www.poltronafrau.com/portal/page/portal/new/webpages/poltronafrau/distribution/home?p=filterDone:y;continent:EU;country:IT;region:030;city:brescia&lang=it ( the anchor text is poltrona frau brescia )
2. http://www.paginegialle.it/poltronafraubrescia ( update soon )
3. http://www.paginegialle.it/zenucchiarredamenti ( update soon )

the first one is the worldwide portal of poltrona frau, but if you look at the url it seems a little bit long, isn't it? we are premium dealer in brescia ( italy ) and we pretended to be linked... the big problem is that we are fighting with our competitor that is not an official dealer but it has the right domain to be ranked first ( www.poltronafraubrescia.it and .com ) .... we must overcaming them and go first.... the query is poltrona frau brescia

Hi guys, I have just recived some new inbound links; in your opinion how long does it take to see some benefits in term of rankings? And when i will able to see them in the inbound links checker report? Thanks Guido

thank you very much matt,

but i found the way to the second.... simply i tried to index the page again and now it is ranked sixth... so i don't have to keep the page on the old domain, i just change the url to link...

Hi everybody,

after some discussions i decided to keep my page on the old domain for better seo rankings;

However, the new third level domain sounds better: poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it....

the question is: i'm going to recive a high value link and i don't know if i should link directly to the old adress ( www.zenucchi.it/ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.it ) where the page is located or to the new one by making a 301 redirect to the previous.

what's best? and second question what's the way to keep the page on this adress ( www.zenucchi.it/ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.it ) but show poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it as url?

thank you

guido

thanks marcus,

but what made ​​me move the page was was an attempt to improve ranking for that keyword ( in fact having the exact keyword in url should be a benefit ), but if this casue that now i can't work on the link building becouse i'm not sure to be indexed with the new page i'd better come back to the previous situation, isn't it? maybe is faster.... I keep getting inbound links from related sites with high value by asking to be linked with an anchor text with the exact keyword inside.... my aim is to rank first not to create a new site.... my competitor who is now ranked first has lower domain authority but a domain with the keyord inside: turra.poltronafraubrescia.it; the second competitor instead is (  poltronafraubrescia.com ) and now has the second position on google.

p.s. ( the only flagship sotre of frau located in brescia is it our, they are simply reseller, and the two domain in the first and second position belong to the same reseller )

thank you very much for the hel that you gave to me... I'm looking forward to getting your answer

guido

Hi marcus, Thank you for your answer. As you request i'll explain better what's happened:

1. I decided to move a page from the domain zenucchi.it to the third level domain poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it; The page was located at this adress http://www.zenucchi.it/ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.html It was pretty well ranked for the query poltrona frau brescia ( 4 position on google)

2. To transfer it i create a page with the same content and i put it on poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it as index

3. Then i put a 301 redirect in the previous page and i change all the links from the homepage zenucchi.it

And so? The previous page remain four and the new is not included in google' results for poltrona frau brescia.. So i don't know if is better to get new link that points to the new.. And i don't know if is better to come back to the previous situation.. Final aim rank firsf..

I hope that this will be clear to you Thanks guido

Hi, my problem isn't solved and nobody was able to answer my question: why isn't my page poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it indexed for the keyword poltrona frau Brescia? The same page on another domain was four on the ranking reluts... And now it redirects to the new one... An you explain me how to proceed? I trust you... Help me...

yeah, i agree with you but my question is different ( probably because my english is no good enough ), the page on the previous domain with thin content was ranked fourth, the same on the new third domain in no ranked, not even in 150 position... that's my problem....

hoping that i've explained the problem better i would thank you

guido

thanks sha....

i will certainly follow your valuable advice.... however i don't understand why http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it , that is the same page already indexed, isn't shown for the query poltrona frau brescia...

Do you think that it was wrong to put the page on this new third level domain considering that my only aim is to rank first for that keyword?

Guido

the pages are the same, i just want to transfer www.zenucchi.it/ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.html on a new third level domain http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it... The problem is that the first one is still ranked ( with a 301 redirect on-it ) but the new one it isn't indexed for that keyword... do you know why?

hi everybody,

i'm trying to understand why my page http://poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it isn't ranked for the keyword poltrona frau brescia even if is indexed on google.

the page gets authority and traffic from the page www.zenucchi.it/ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.html that is already ranked in fourth position for that keyword.

should i continue linking the previous or the new page to increase the page authority?

i don't know if is a good way to link a page not ranked despite a ranked one..

Please help me.... thanks a lot

Hi everybody,

i have a page well optimized for my keyword

it is on a domain with 28 domain authority

it is well linked but it isn't enough to rank first

Do you think that buy a third level domain with the keyword inside, put the page on-it and re-index it is a good solution? ( by putting a 301 redirect on the previous page of course )

now i'm waiting to be indexed for the new page but nothing appear searching the keyword instead the previous ranked page...

thanks Guido

I've checked on bing and yahoo but for the query poltrona frau Brescia the page is no indexed.. however how do I do?  is it better to continue with the link bulding on that page ? maybe should i get linked on the previous ?

hi, I recently recreated the page www.zenucchi.it /ITA/poltrona-frau-brescia.html on the third level domain poltronafraubrescia.zenucchi.it  by putting it on the home page. The first page is still indexed for the keyword poltrona frau brescia . But the new page is no indexed for that keyword and i don't know why ( even if the page is indexed in google ) .. I state that the new domain has the same autorithy and that i put a 301 redirect to pass his authority to the new one that has many more incoming links that did not have previous .. i hope you'll help me

thanks a lot

Hi Brian, i suggest you to follow this step: 1. Think about the keywords that best match to the company's services 2. Use Adwords tool to find out other combinations of words 3. Use the Adwords tools to find out the keyword traffic data 4. Select three for Each service given by the company 5. Use the seo moz tool to calculate the keyword difficulty and the potential competitors 5.make a choice from three to one ( focus your attention on your competitors reputation ) 6. create one page for each service and make an home page optimization ( meta description, title, content etc. ) to obtain the A in the on page analysis tool 7. Now you have to Increase your page reputation by obtaining link from related site wich should link you with a followed link containing your keyword as anchor text Hope that help Guido
