Hi there

Redirection and Simple 301 Redirects seem to have the best (and most) reviews. Try researching those.

You can also do this through your .htaccess file.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there

You want to showcase your work and versatility as a web designer and developer, so yes, you want those pages indexed. Keep in mind - people aren't on your site to buy products from your clients, that's not your site's purpose; they are there to view your work and see how you can help them.

If for some reason users are coming to your site to view your client's sites for window shopping purposes, something is very wrong somewhere.

If you have multiple portfolio types, use keywords relevant to those portfolios, as well as the industries your client's are in - "auto website design" / "ecommerce web design" / "sports web development" - be natural, be authentic, be honest with your tags. Make sure your on-site SEO is spot on when it comes to the content that is contained in your site. Talk about what your clients wanted, how you helped them, and the results that came from it - you're selling people on buying from you as a web designer/developer - it's your time to shine and brag!

There's a great guide from Yoast on SEO with their product, please read it.

This is my two cents on the topic - hope it helps a bit! Good luck!

Hi again

Yeah, if this is representative of the other links, you should definitely look into those and either remove/disavow them.

That's just my two cents!

Hi there

It really depends on the link.

The best way to define a bad link is to use your own intuition and common sense:

• Does this link help my website?
• Is this link relevant to my website?
• Would I trust this site (that's linking to me) if I landed on it?
• Is the website or content in which I am being linked from topically relevant to my website?
• If you check metrics - does anything about the metrics (domain authority, page authority,Majestic, SEMRush traffic/ranking data, etc) make me feel uneasy?

I would go through a backlink audit - what needs to be removed / disavowed? Start there and assess. Truthfully, if the site is not indexed, it's not that big of a deal. I would just make sure that's it's relevant and a good link, because it could send traffic.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there

You can do this by filtering countries in your Search Analytics in Google Search Console. While it doesn't give you an exact number traffic wise, it does give clicks and impressions, and can give you a general idea of what's happening.

In Analytics you can goto Audience > Campaigns > Organic Keywords. Change Primary Dimension to Landing Page and change your Secondary Dimension to Country. You can couple this information you got from Search Console and line up to see performance.
Also, SEMRush has the capabilities of breaking down historic keyword data by country. It will give you your rankings as well as your estimated traffic for that keyword (as no one can give you EXACT data). This is also especially useful if you do international SEO and want to check on other competitors as well.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there

If you are trying to rank a certain location or country, you can look into hreflang attributes and language tags for your site.

You can also geo-target specific URL variations in Google Search Console. You can read more about International SEO here, as well as an International SEO Checklist.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Hi there

I would double check the following:
Internal links
Sitemap
Run a ScreamingFrog crawl and see if any URLs are redirecting to a subdomain page

I would also look into:
You can utilize the change of address tool through Google's Search Console
You can also request a removal through Google's Search Console.

When did you remove the subdomain? Are these Moz errors or Google Webmaster Tools errors?

Let me know - thanks so much!

^ That's customer service!
