Hi Dmitrii,

can you perhaps tell me the source, where you found the supported annotations above. Many Thanks

Hi Gianluca,

Thank you for your reply. In fact I'm refering to that exact region. The difference to your CH examples are though, that in Switzerland, the 3 language regions are not the exact same "location".

In my case they are though so I got a bit confused.

So basically Im not saying, a specific region in Switzerland speaks French, another German and another Italian, but I say the exact same location/region speaks German and Italian.

yes, sure about that

Hi Dmitrii,

many thanks for your reply. Great list, unfortunately I can't find my case. Though I think this list is not complete. E.x. I miss the the french speaking part in Italy for example,...

Helpful anyway though.

Hi everyone,

got a quick question concerning the hreflang tag.

I have a website with 2 different language versions targeting to the same region(Reason: The area is bilingual however not everyone speaks the other language fluently)

Question:
Can I use hreflang in that case like:

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm not sure how advanced your SEO knowledge is but geotargeting on the Google Search Console in combination with the hreflang tag could be the solution for your specific site to appear in right search results.

I'd suggest to read through the following links to get an idea of what it is:

Hi,

Have you had a look at related topics your (prospectives) buyers are interested about? A blog offers great opportunities in writing about subjects that are not directly related to your business.

• E.x. are there any complementary products your visitors need in order to get their job done?
• What problems do people try to solve, when they search for your keywords?
• What results do they obtain when they use your product?

Sum up: It might be worth to broaden your keywords and go away from your value proposition only (don't be to product-centric) and focus on the entire customer problem.

Thanks Ryan. This is the answer I wanted to hear.

Hi there,

got a quick question regarding faceted navigation. If a specific filter (facet) seems to be quite popular for visitors. Does it make sense to replace

a dynamic URL e.x http://www.domain.com/pants.html?a_type=239

by a static, more SEO friendly URL e.x http://www.domain.com/pants/levis-pants.html by creating a proper landing page for it.

I know, that it is nearly impossible to replace all variations of this parameter URLs by static ones but does it generally make sense to do this for the most popular facets choose by visitors. Or does this cause any issues?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I'm checking it on Google Ad preview. Settings: domain: de; Language: German, Country: Germany.-

We had taken of hreflang due to some problems a couple weeks ago. Can this affect our facebook site as well?

Hi everyone,

got a quick question in regard to our Facebook page and its appearance on the Google SERP.

We have individual Facebook pages for every country and language. Unfornately the UK site is ranking in the German SERP rather then our Germany Facebook Site. The UK site is way older and has much more likes which most likely explains why this page is (still) outranking our, fairly new site (couple of months).

Is there a way, to push my German Facebook Site in front of the UK Site in Germany?

Any advice or tipp is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Richard,

thanks a lot for your reply.

Let me clarify: productx is a final product page (not a category page with a variety of products). This means that my productx page basically corresponds to your /final-product example.

According to your post and the htaccess command mention, I assume, that it does not cause problems, if the URL shown in the browser does not correspond to the one, the user actually took?

So no matter if a customer comes to the final product page through 1) 2) 3) 4). The URL shown could always be 1) and thats fine. Is that what you ment?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply Hector,

The way, the pages are structured on our site is the way 99% of ecommerce business have them structured so that is not the issue here. It's more the path itself that concerns me a bit.

Cheers,

Hi eveyone,

got a quick question about URL structures:

I'm currently working in ecommerce with a site that has hundreds of products that can be accessed through different URL paths:

1)www.domain.com/productx

2)www.domain.com/category/productx

3)www.domain.com/category/subcategory/productx

4)www.domain.com/bestsellers/productx

5)...

In order to get rid of dublicate content issues, the canoncial tag has been installed on all the pages required. The problem I'm witnessing now is the following:

If a visitor comes to the site and navigates to the product through example 2) at time the URL shown in the URL browser box is example 4), sometimes example 1) or whatever. So it is constantly changing.

Does anyone know, why this happens and if it has any impact on GA tracking or even on SEO peformance.

Any reply is much appreciated

Thanks you
