      Hi ,
      finally I managed to setup my site in Baidu Webmaster Tools with the help of a freelance staff member in China. Site is verified and sitemap submitted.

      In section "Site Properties", field "Affiliate subject" I can't figure out after extensive search what I need to setup here for a foreign company without any presence and without company registration in China. Anybody can help?

      When I click on this field, it indicates "Site association subject is a necessary link for mobile resources to enter search." so my site will not show up in mobile results without it?

      Grateful for any tips on how to resolve this piece of puzzle of the baidu setup.
      Thanks

          I don't know which setting you are talking about "Site Properties", but I can answer your second question.
          (puainta)(The best deworming medicine for pets)
          If you don't have a company in China, you don't need to set it up. In addition, "Site association subject is a necessary link for mobile resources to enter search. "As long as this is optimized well, it will also be displayed in the mobile results.

            @skchad13j said in Baidu Webmaster Tools: How to setup in "Site Properties" the field "Affiliate subject"?:

            To set up the "Affiliate subject" field in Baidu Webmaster Tools' "Site Properties," you can follow these steps:
            (study abroad)
            Log in to your Baidu Webmaster Tools account.
            Go to "Site Management" and select the website you want to work on.
            Click on "Site Properties."
            In the "Affiliate subject" field, enter relevant information about your website's primary focus or subject. This helps Baidu understand your site's content better.(Dental Hygienist Course Fee In Canada For International Students)
            Save your changes.
            Providing accurate information in the "Affiliate subject" field can help improve your website's visibility and performance on Baidu's search engine. (best digital marketing agency)

            It's important to note that as of October 2023, Baidu Webmaster Tools did not have a field labeled "Affiliate subject" in its "Site Properties" settings. However, platforms and tools can change over time, so it's possible that new features or settings have been introduced since then.

            To resolve this puzzle and get accurate information on how to set up the "Affiliate subject" field in Baidu Webmaster Tools, I recommend visiting the official Baidu Webmaster Tools website and referring to their official documentation or seeking help from their support resources. They will provide the most up-to-date and accurate information on the platform's settings and features.

              Baidu Webmaster Tools did not have a specific field labeled "Affiliate subject" in its "Site Properties" settings. Baidu Webmaster Tools primarily focuses on providing webmasters with tools and features related to optimizing their websites for Baidu's search engine.

              However, Baidu's interface and features may evolve over time, so it's possible that they have introduced new settings or options since then. To set up any specific feature or field in Baidu Webmaster Tools, I recommend visiting the official Baidu Webmaster Tools website and consulting their official documentation or help resources for the most up-to-date information on their platform's settings and features.

                  Setting up international site subdirectories in GSC as separate properties for better geotargeting?

                  My client has an international website with a subdirectory structure for each country and language version - eg. /en-US. At present, there is a single property set up for the domain in Google Search Console but there are currently various geotargeting issues I’m trying to correct with hreflang tags. My question is, is it still recommended practise and helpful  to add each international subdirectory to Google Search Console as an individual property to help with correct language and region tagging? I know there used to be properly sets for this but haven’t found any up to date guidance on whether setting up all the different versions as their own properties might help with targeting. Many thanks in advance!

                  International SEO setup issues canonical URL

                  My site is www.grocare.com for one region and in.grocare.com for another region. Both of them have the same content except the currency for particular regions. Someone told me that google will take the content as duplicate and not rank either. I have setup hreflang and targeted different regions for both in the search console. I read many article which say canonical urls need to be setup for international seo sites. But Im not sure how to setup canonical urls and whether they are the right way to go . i just don't want my content deranked. Now i have setup hreflang properly after asking the moz community itself. So im hoping to get some help with this query too. TIA

                  Issues with Baidu indexing

                  I have a few issues with one of my sites being indexed in Baidu and not too sure of how to resolve them; 1. Two subdomains were redirected to the root domain, but both (www. and another) subdomains are still indexed after ~4 months. 2. A development subdomain is indexed, despite no longer working (it was taken down a few months back). 3. There's conflicting information on what the best approach is to get HTTPS pages indexed in Baidu and we can't find a good solution. 4. There are hundreds of variations of the home page (and a few other pages) on the main site, where Baidu has indexed lots of parameters. There doesn't appear to be anywhere in their webmaster tools to stop that happening, unlike with Google. I'm not the one who deals directly with this site, but I believe that Baidu's equivalent of Webmaster Tools has been used where possible to correctly index the site. Has anyone else had similar issues and, if so, were you able to resolve them? Thanks

                  Google does not index UK version of our site, and serves US version instead. Do I need to remove hreflanguage for US?

                  Webmaster tools indicates that only 25% of pages on our UK domain with GBP prices is indexed.
                  We have another US domain with identical content but USD prices which is indexed fine. When I search in google for site:mydomain I see that most of my pages seem to appear, but then in the rich snippets google shows USD prices instead of the GBP prices which we publish on this page (USD price is not published on the page and I tested with an US proxy and US price is nowhere in the source code). Then I clicked on the result in google to see cached version of page and google shows me as cached version of the UK product page the US product page. I use the following hreflang code: rel="alternate" hreflang="en-US" href="https://www.domain.com/product" />
                  rel="alternate" hreflang="en-GB" href="https://www.domain.co.uk/product" /> canonical of UK page is correctly referring to UK page. Any ideas? Do I need to remove the hreflang for en-US to get the UK domain properly indexed in google?

                  In the U.S., how can I stop the European version of my site from outranking the U.S. version?

                  I've got a site with two versions – a U.S. version and a European version. Users are directed to the appropriate version through a landing page that asks where they're located; both sites are on the same domain, except one is .com/us and the other is .com/eu. My issue is that for some keywords, the European version is outranking the U.S. version in Google's U.S. SERPs. Not only that, but when Google displays sitelinks in the U.S. SERPs, it's a combination of pages on the European site and the U.S. site. Does anyone know how I can stop the European site from outranking the U.S. site in the U.S.? Or how I can get Google to only display sitelinks for pages on the U.S. site in the U.S. SERPs? Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this topic!

                  Can you target the same site with multiple country HREFlang entries?

                  Hi, I have a question regarding the country targeting aspect of HREFLANG. Can the same site be targeted with multiple country HREFlang entries? Example: A global company has an English South African site (geotargeted in webmaster tools to South Africa), with a hreflang entry targeted to "en-za", to signify English language and South Africa as the country. Could you add entries to the same site to target other English speaking South African countries? Entries would look something like this: (cd = Congo, a completely random example) etc... Since you can only geo-target a site to one country in WMT would this be a viable option? Thanks in advance for any help! Vince

                  What is the proper way to setup hreflang tags on my English and Spanish site?

                  I have a full English website at http://www.example.com and I have a Spanish version of the website at http://spanish.example.com but only about half of the English pages were translated and exist on the Spanish site. Should I just add a sitemap to both sites with hreflang tags that point to the correct version of the page? Is this a proper way to set this up? I was going to repeat this same process for all of the applicable URLs that exist on both versions of the website (English and Spanish). Is it okay to have hreflang="es" or do I need to have a country code attached as well? There are many Spanish speaking countries and I don't know if I need to list them all out. For example hreflang="es-bo" (Bolivia), hreflang="es-cl" (Chile), hreflang="es-co" (Columbia), etc... Sitemap example for English website URL:
                  <url><loc>http://www.example.com/</loc></url> Sitemap example for Spanish website URL:
                  <url><loc>http://spanish.example.com/</loc></url> Thanks in advance for your feedback and help!

                  Targeting Different Countries... One Site or Separate?

                  I have a client who has 3 ecommerce sites. They are somewhat differentiated but for the most part sell the same stuff. Luckily 2 of them are quite authoritative, old and rank reasonably well. Most of the visitors and sales come from the US. He wants to start targeting Europe, Mexico and Canada. What are your suggestions for doing this? Are we better targeting on the main domains? Not really sure how to do that? Should we use a subdomain and a new store front for each geo? Should we use a .co.uk .co.mx and .co.ca each with a unique storefront? It looks like we are moving to a Magento platform so setting up multiple storefronts on a single database is not a big issue. Anyone have any experience with this?
