Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hello we are developers and we have just created a new webpage for a client of us.

The problem is that we can not replace the old one by the new one, cause our client has developed over 15 satellite pages that calls directly to the code of the old page. If we completly remove the old page we will make those 15 pages go down. Those pages are working over domains specially register for SEO reasons.

For example

Main page is www.euroair.es

Satellite page is www.aireacondicionadodaikin.com

Satellite page has pretty good ranking for search term "aire acondicionado daikin"

As I told you, we have a new page but we can not make the page work over root domain. So we thought we could make it work over www.euroair.es/es, and make a redirection 301 of homepage and another important inner pages.

We chose "/es" folder because it seems like a language folder, but we are not very sure of the effects of pages working on that folder instead of working on root directory.

What do you think? Is this matter important or doesn't?

Thanks

A client of us has this webpage

http://www.losestores.com/

not very good in design, but it has good products.
He is having a problem with SEO, he is in page 2 for "estores" keyword. His domain authority is 27 and is upper than other domains that are ranking in page one.

The question is the following:

Since the webpage began to work the programmer that created it, did the following: a subdomain per section

http://estores.losestores.com/

http://cortinas.losestores.com/

http://venecianas.losestores.com/

and so on.

This page is not very big one.

Will you remove the subdomains and do de following?

www.losestores.com/estores

www.losestores.com/cortinas

What will be best?

Thanks

Thanks so much for your complete and usefull language.

I wonder if it would be better a 301 redirect from equipamentsfootball.com to www.efutgol.com/fr

why you consider we should redirect to the homepage instead of the folder of the specific language?

Is it important a redirection from homepage to homepage?

Thanks again.

Hello.
We have a client that will extend his business to severak countries in Europe.
So far its main market was the Spanish one. In this market it works with his own domain that is the same that its brand name. The domain does not contain any important keyword but it has been working for 11 years: www.efutgol.com. In Spain has a good ranking. It ranks number 1 or number 2, it fluctuates.

But it also sells to France and Portugal. In the France market  they used a domain with exact match with the French keyword that they are interested in: www.equipementsfootball.com/. The same strategy  www.equipamentosfutebol.com in Portugal. Both have number 1 for the main keyword in those Countries for that keyword

Now they are going to sell in more countries.
The problem is that each website have a different CMS what makes necessary double maintenance.

We are going to unificate in only one domain, one single design, one single CMS all websites. But were have doubts about SEO consequences of doing that

What is the best thing for URLs?
www.efutgol.com/fr/ .....
www.efutgol.com/es/
www.efutgol.com / pt

What should we do with the domains that are so well positioned in france and portugal? 301 redirect will work? What should we expect? What would you do?

What things we should consider to keep the current position?

Hello,

We have 3 web directories, and I wonder if it is legal for search engines to ask people who want to be in the directory to link to a particular website in order to be in our directory. I mean, it is free adding the url in the directory but if they lwant to be in the directory they have to ink to a website we have decided.
Is this correct, or is punishable?

Thanks!

I have been checking schema.org. I'm glad Google, Bing and Yahoo are agree on something! But I am still having some doubts, cause we are developers, we create the design, we create the programming, but the content (generally) is provided by the client. So we are not the authors of that content.

Maybe I was confused because, I usually see my competitors (other web development agencies) write on meta autor its name.

So, right now, I am still having a doubt, how could I sign those websites, so that it could give me more seo relevance, and doing it well. Should I use rel author, should I keep the link in the footer or should avoid both.

Sorry, I am really confused now...

We don't usually add the meta author in the websites that we develop. I wonder if it would have  any positive effect in our seo.

We usually add a link in the footer like this "Diseño Web Vigo "(Website Development in Vigo). I am worry about this links. I'm not sure if they are positive because  they are in the footer and so the link appears in all of the pages. Besides all these websites we develop are hosted in two different servers, and google could easily think that it is manipulative thing.

What do you think?

Thanks!!!
