Hi Gareth,

I don't think this is going to work as every crawler by Google is run by the same useragent: Googlebot. What you could do but what I really wouldn't recommend to do is generating the robots.txt automatically. Check if the IP address of the user is in another country and then Disallow them. It probably won't work as the crawler from let's say Germany could also be used for the UK.

Also the specific data for a countries search engine gets collected first and then gets looked at to see what they need users to serve, not the other way around that content gets acquired for a specific country.

Hope this helps!

Hi Fabrizo,

Nowadays I would say there are better solutions to fix this issue. But I'm really not sure if you could convince me for rebuilding this feature on the site as the impact for SEO would probably be not really big. I think the best way to not set any Session IDs in the URL at all so you have plain URLs. What you then could do is use these pages as the basis of your URL structure and SEO strategy. You could also then canonicalize the session ID'ed urls back to the plain ones.

Hope this helps! Makes sense?

Cool question, the answer is already given and is NO. Google is rolling out the bigger algorithmic updates per region or per country. For example the first version(s) of the Panda update were only released for the regions speaking English. After that they deployed it to several european countries to see what the influence was there. In the end after a couple of months they deployed it worldwide.

I couldn't find it that fast but I thought there was also a video from Matt Cutts explaining that some elements of the algorithm only work for specific countries.

Hi,

I wouldn't worry to much on this issue, it's true that you don't want to depend on the level of the Googlebot to find out if this could be an issue but I think that the encoding of characters will make sure you'll be fine. As a suggestion I would say use canonical tags on of these pages to direct Google or other search engines to the right page. This makes sure you'll never get an issue with duplicate content. However I really doubt that this will turn into an issue.

As also stated by grasshopper Google Analytics and the Google Search team don't have any relation and the data over there is not shared between their products. So it can't be possible that your manual penalty on 1 site in your GA account influenced your other account.

Hi Sameer,

A manifest file is an overview of the files you're using for your app in the Chrome Web Store. If it's missing Google is not capable of knowing where to find all the files and how to use them for your app. You should include such a file in the root folder of your app as this error says. More information about the manifest files could be found here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest.html

I wouldn't bet my money on this but backlinks in PDF's won't count I think.
