Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Great response, thank you.

In short, .nl .com and such dont make a huge difference in ranking. but probably in CTR due to the fact that a english user is in basis not trusting, or not preferring the .nl domain over a .com. Although this is nowadays less important but still the case. Splitting 2 domains would split the DA as well. thats true.

Hard decisions.

Hi all,

We are a fullservice internet firm working from the Netherlands. Because of that we are working on a .nl domain. All related domains internationally are taken. Currently on Microdesign.nl we only write dutch, but we have a lot of Magento and e-commerce knowledge which is related to all customers, we also get some international attention for our extensions, themes and content. The thing is, what to do when i want to maintain more languages. (dutch and english). Would microdesign.nl/en or en.microdesign.nl rank internationally. or should i keep microdesign.nl due to the current ranking and get a .com kind of domain working with hreflang?

many thanks in your insights.
