Forum Archive - Keywords, description and indexing.

Hi, Our website gets indexed pretty poorly. Languages get mixed up and the tld's for the languages like .de .es and .fr have double meta content. Keywords and description in original language (Dutch) plus the translated. Other than that the source domain is seen as .eu - this is not good for Google (<meta content="http://www.anonimized.eu/" property="og:url">) You can look at the HTML source of a translated page here: http://goo.gl/D8mn4G In Google results for the base .eu site are OK for the time that it has been online. For .de there are 3 reults - but thats really pretty poor and .es and .fr are not even indexed. How to config everything so every language gets indexed optimally?

Hi, I'm checking and I can see about 100 indexed pages for different languages including French and Spanish. og: meta tags are for Facebook and we currently do not translate them. You just need to let it more time to index all your pages. Let me know if you see any problems right now. Thanks!

One more question, SEO related. How do we reroute http:// to www. in case of the .de domain? This domain doesn't have its own htaccess, how do we set up a rewrite rule?

Ok, thanks Edvard. One more issue I can see in the source, the title meta isn't translated.. http://goo.gl/D8mn4G SEO related: How do we reroute http:// to www. in case of the .de domain? This domain doesn't have its own htaccess, how do we set up a rewrite rule?

You can set IP address for domain.com to your server and redirect it to http://www.domain.com which will have our IP address. We do not translate title meta, it is not a standard meta which is used by search engines. Instead we translate the title tag. Thanks!

I don't entirely understand what you say about the IP and redirect? Thanks for the clarification of the Title tag.

Right now your domain.de and www.domain.de point to our IP address. You need to re-configure your DNS, so domain.de will point to your hosting IP where you host domain.de and make a redirect to www.domain.de.
