Google UK picking up USA Siteposted in International SEO
I have a site with two subfolders one is .../uk and one is .../us
Part of the content on the two sites is the same and part is unique. The US site's language is set to en and the UK site's language is set to en_gb. I have setup geo-targeting in webmaster tools.
The problem is that the home page is a GEO-IP redirect and it seems to be picking up information from the US site even on google uk.
I'm not concerned too much about getting the uk site crawled as we submit a sitemap for that anyway.
But my concern is that if I setup the geo-ip redirect as a 301 will my UK site loose all of it's ranking?
Also am I likely to be penalised for duplicate content?
