Welcome to the Q&A Forum

But wouldnt "Your website" also contain all the urls of Your website/France ?

My post is very much related: http://moz.com/community/q/how-to-handle-subdirectories-in-moz-and-webmaster-tools

Anyone else has any idea ?

Thanks for your answer.

What is everyone else doing?

Thank Mike.

Yeah I read that post you linked to. I just wonder whether everyone else is experiencing this problem.

But again thank you

I have 3 websites:

• http://www.abc.com (English pages)
• http://www.abc.com/fr (French)
• http://www.abc.com/de (German)

Webmaster Tools

In Google Analytics: I created an Account called ABC and created 4 properties with relative filters

• ABC Default (No filter)
• ABC English (filter to exclude /fr, /de)
• ABC French (filter to include /fr)
• ABC German (filter to include /de)

In webmaster tools, I wish to add 3 sites

• http://www.abc.com
• http://www.abc.com/fr
• http://www.abc.com/de

1. How do I validate each url with Google analytics, considering I just want the specific language for folder.
2. How do I validate the domain name http://www.abc.com to always ensure the inclusion of the default english data?

MOZ

1. Do I need to create 3 campaigns (one per language) and if yes, again how do I handle http://www.abc.com which should exclude /fr and /de?

Thank you

Using Keyword planner, I am seeing search volume results which to me look somewhat odd.

Anyone else experiencing this?

How is this different to the keyword tool used before?

Thank you for your reply regarding (3).

So if

1. We think its of no more value to the visitor. (the unique views for the archives count for less than 1% of the viewed content)

2. It's time sensitive content i.e. content that is written about situations of the day

3. We have decided not to continue writing under this section any more on the new website

Do you think it still makes sense to import such content? My only problem is how google will perceive the fact that 360 pages will drop off from the current site it is on and not even be present on the new site.

This is tricky because really we are doing two things:

1. Migrating to a new domain a big part of a section from the current domain and 2. we are looking at how we can better streamline/improve content.

Maybe it just makes sense to import everything we have from the old domain and then after we successfully launch the new site, we look at how we can better streamline/improve content

I have www.SiteA.com which contains a number of sections of content, a section of which (i.e. www.SiteA.com/sectionA), we would like to move to a new domain www.SiteB.com

Definitely we will ensure that a redirect strategy is in place and that we submit a sitemap for SiteB

Three Questions

1. Anything else I am missing from the migration plan?

2. Since we are only moving part of SiteA to SiteB, is there another way of telling Google that we changed address for that section or are the 301s enough?

3. Currently, Section A  (under SiteA) contains a subsection where we were posting an article a day. In the new site (SiteB), we decided to drop this subsection and write content (but not "exactly" the same content) under a new section.

During migration, how should we handle the subsection that we have decided to stop writing?

Should we:

A. Import the content into SiteB and call it archives and then redirect all the urls from subsection under SiteA to the archives under SiteB?

OR

B. Do not move the content but redirect all the pages (365 in total) to where we think the user would be more interested in going to on SiteB?

Note: A colleague of mine is worried that since the subsection has good content he thinks its necessary to actually move the content to SiteB. But again, looking at the views for the archives it caters for 1% of the the total views of this section. In other words, people only view the article on the day it is written.

I hope I was clear

Your help is appreciated

Thank you

Situation Description:

I have a website called Website A. I wish to migrate alot of the content from Website A to Website B. Website B will be on a completely different domain name and environment. Authors of Website A will act as contributing authors for Website B. It is also possible that other contributing authors of other websites C and D commit to writing content on Website B.

Questions

(1) Does it make sense to create a google plus profile under  UserA@websiteA.com and link from content on websiteB to their google plus profile under UserA@websiteA.com?

(2) Does AuthorRank affect PageRank? If yes, if I take the above approach would websiteA be effected or websiteB since the content writers of websiteA are contributing to websiteB?

(3) Is it ok for userA to have a corporate google plus profile assuming he might also have another google plus profile under a different address?

I always think it make sense that there exists a google plus profile at an employee level and another google plus profile at a personal level.

(4) If an employee leaves the company, do I leave his/hers Google Plus profile alive? The fact that no more content would be published under that particular profile, would that negatively effect author rank over time?

(5) Another interesting observation is that UsaToday, CNN etc do not use authorship? No authors link to their twitter profile or google plus profile. Shouln't they be doing this in terms of author rank or is author rank not that important?

Thank you

Hi,

I see this also.

What was the outcome?
