Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi David,

Thank you very much for sharing these options with me. I don't have Google Analytics for the subdomains so I tried the second option.

I selected 'domain name provider', went with 'other', and added a txt record to the DNS configuration for the main domain as per Google's instructions yesterday. I just checked the status a minute ago and I'm still seeing the verification failure message coming up as below:

"Your verification DNS TXT record was not found. You might need to wait a few minutes before Google sees your changes to the TXT records."

How long does it normally take to verify a property this way?

Thanks again David for your kind help.

Hi Thomas,

Hi Thomas,

My name is Rachel, sorry I didn't realise that I was posting with my boss' name.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question and thanks for sharing the resources with me as well.

It will be a professional human translator doing the work. We had a sample page translated and based on my Chinese colleague's feedback, the quality of translation seems to be really good.

Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a good week?

My website has several subdomains that I had shut down some time back and pages on these subdomains are still appearing in the Google search result pages.

I want all the URLs from these subdomains to stop appearing in the Google search result pages and I was hoping to see if anyone can help me with this.

The subdomains are no longer under my control as I don't have web hosting for these sites (so these subdomain sites just show a default hosting server page). Because of this, I cannot verify these in search console and submit a url/site removal request to Google.

In total, there are about 70 pages from these subdomains showing up in Google at the moment and I'm concerned in case these pages have any negative impacts on my SEO.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

Hi all,

I'm planning to create a .cn site. If I simply translate the existing content on my site (.com.au) into Chinese, do you think Google will see the .cn site as a duplicate of the main site? Will this cause any duplicate content issues?

Thanks
