Multisite domain
-
good morning I have a wordpress site I have activated the multisite, currently the site has a domain authority of 8, when I publish a post, it is indexed quite quickly, if I publish a post in a language other than the /es subdomain it takes 24 hours why? If the author domain is the same, why does the employee take longer to be indexed on Google? Thank you

Hello ,
A WordPress multisite benefits from a single domain authority, you can notice slower indexing for posts in languages other than English.
Google prioritizes indexing content in languages it understands and ranks well for. Your site's focus on English content gives google a deeper understanding, potentially leading to faster indexing for English posts. Content in less familiar languages might take longer, especially if google has less data about your site's authority in those languages. User engagement signals also influence's indexing speed. If your English content receives more user interaction), google might prioritize future English posts based on this positive response. Content in other languages might initially receive less engagement which leads google to observe user behavior before fully indexing it.
Also make sure your translations maintains the same level of optimization as your English content. This includes translation accuracy, relevant keyword usage in respective languages, and proper meta descriptions for each post. Search engines typically index high-quality content faster.
Search engines crawls websites frequently based on various factors like website size, update frequency, and overall health. If your english content subdirectory (e.g., /) receives more updates or has more pages, it might be crawled more frequently, leading to faster indexing. You will need to double check for any technical issues specific to your non-english subdirectories.
Issues like broken links, slow loading times, or missing sitemaps will delay indexing for those sections of your website.
Though the author domain stays constant, these factors can contribute to the observed indexing speed variations.
My suggestions -
-Focus on relevant keywords in the respective languages and create accurate meta descriptions for each post.
-Use tools like GSC and track indexing status and identify any technical issues specific to your non-english subdirectories.
-Update sitemaps for each language subdirectory to ensure google is aware of all content and can crawl it efficiently.

Keyword in Domain Name
Hello!My website is www.enchantingquotes.com. I also own the domain www.enchantingwallquotes.com,which forwards to my site. About 90% of my business comes from the keyword "wall quotes". Should I consider changing switching to the enchantingwallquotes.com domain and redirecting? And if I do, do I need to recreate the entire website or is there an easier way that I am overlooking? Thank you for any advise/insight!

Domain forwarding
Hi Is it ok or bad practice to domain forward shorter more memorable snappier domains used for promoting a website to a longer domain where the website actually lives, such as: Promoting in social media profiles, emails and offline literature a domain with forwarding set up like: www.brand.com To the main website: www.brandincludingprimaryproductrelatedkeyword.com And if ok (not bad practice), since its the forwarded domains that are being promoted they are hence the links most likely to be shared on social media and other websites so will they be treated like 301's and 'link building' for those will pretty much equate to link building for the main domain (or not) ? Many Thanks Dan

How do I fix a multiple domain mess?
I just picked up an account that is a franchisee and they have 6 exact match domains plus their main domain (all exact duplicates, not 301s). GA shows the main domain as getting the lion's share of hits, but for some important local keywords, the exact match domains rank higher. Some pages may have the exact match domain, primary domain and the franchise domain all ranking on the same SERP. Yuk! My strategy is to work on the main domain and as the work progresses, the main site will surpass the exact match domains and main franchise domain for the important searches. For the exact match domains I plan on just leaving them alone. Is this a sound strategy? I could pull the exact match domains down, but since they rank well for their keywords, it seems most sensible to leave them up. What do you think?

Redirecting /default to domain ??
Google analytics shows me that this: http://www.quicklearn.com/default.aspx is my "top content page" This page doesn't redirect to my root domain: http://www.quicklearn.com IT tells me that "/default.aspx" can not redirect to my domain. I am told: "You can only redirect deeper into the site." We have had an ongoing issue with duplicate content (that we are in the process of correcting). Anyone with experience in redirecting that can help? Any advice welcome
