Infrastructure & Technical Challenges

Technical Challenges• CMS settings
• Geo targeting, ccTLDs– Index problem
– Duplicate content
• Different target engines
• Languages / localization– Right to Left
– Double byte character set
• Tools (multi-lingual)
• Domain, sub-domain
• Hosting
• Link building
![Page 50: Launching global website](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a2ed0d8b42a900d8b4e74/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Handling Re-direct
Q: We have ccTLD domains, but they are 301 redirected to “.com” site, and there’s no content under each ccTDL.
Do my pages perform well in all target markets?
![Page 51: Launching global website](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a2ed0d8b42a900d8b4e74/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Barriers to getting global sites indexed
• Popups can’t be indexed
• Pull-down country maps can’t be crawled
• Restrictive JavaScript for language detection
• Restrictive Robots.txt and meta robots
![Page 52: Launching global website](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a2ed0d8b42a900d8b4e74/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Detection & Serving Challenges
• Spiders typically crawl from few locations & don’t have a language preference
• Can a spider from the US “find” your other language content? – Use “Firefox User Agent Switcher
• Does the spider need to accept cookies? – Use Firefox Webmaster Tool
• Do you have unique county/language URL’s for each page?
• Are you serving differently to spiders and searchers?
![Page 53: Launching global website](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a2ed0d8b42a900d8b4e74/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Domains and Hosting – Simple Answers
• Use ccTLD’s - where possible and practical
• Host in the local country – where possible and practical
• Be careful with proxy serving sites to fool the engines
• Ensure “ALL” variations of your site URL’s are set in GWT
![Page 54: Launching global website](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052900/555a2ed0d8b42a900d8b4e74/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Google’s “Local Determination Hierarchy”
• You use a ccTLD – www.mysite.co.uk– ccTLD can be hosted in ANY country! – -ccTLD is ALWAYS treated as local content
• You host a .com in a country – www.mycompany.com hosted in US is a US site
– www.mycompany.com hosted in France is France Site
• Your sub directory is mapped in GWT– www.mycompany.com/uk is a UK site if mapped – www.mycompany.com/uk is a global site if NOT mapped
Your site is LOCAL to a country when…
