#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Estimated 8.26 billion web pages
different indexes for different countries, i.e
google.co.uk and google.dk(or Yahoo...ehm...)
![Page 4: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
You need to help the engines figure out WHICH index you want to be found in
![Page 5: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

#1 geo-targeting
![Page 6: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Geo-targeting
Making sure your website is indexed in the right geographical index. Options:
- ccTLD, Sub domain or Sub Directory- Using Google webmaster tools- Using Hreflang Attribute
![Page 7: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
- Little/or no benefits of links to main domain
+ Authority of links to the domain
![Page 8: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers@LisaDMyers #SearchLove
country code TLD
![Page 9: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
ccTLDs
Country specific TLDs such as .co.uk .de and .fr is the best sign you can give the search engine to which geographical index you want to be index and ranked in.
![Page 10: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
If you have an office (or will have) in the relevant country and it is a growing businessccTLDs are recommended.
Especially if you also have a marketingbudget in those countries (or in housecapabilities).
![Page 11: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Having a marketing department in a country and still being on a sub folder is a bit like living at home with your parents at 30!
![Page 12: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers@LisaDMyers #SearchLove
using subfolder
![Page 13: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
When subfolders should be used
- Budget restrictions & no local marketing
- Sites that don’t have local offices (and are not planning to open local offices)
- Initial geo targeting & time restraints- Informational sites
+ benefit of link authority of entire domain!
![Page 14: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Often this is the first option you have available to you.
It’s a good start for growing brands.
![Page 15: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
ASOS stages this well
www.asos.com/itwww.asos.com/es etc
When established move to ccTLDwww.asos.dewww.asos.fr
![Page 16: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers@LisaDMyers #SearchLove
using subdomains
![Page 17: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
When Subdomains Should be Used
• Technically it’s a middle road between ccTLDs and sub folders but in my opinion NOT ideal
• Easy to implement and can have separate hosting BUT don’t benefit in whole of the link authority on main domain
That’s all I could think of. I would avoid it if you can.
![Page 18: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers@LisaDMyers #SearchLove
webmaster tools
![Page 19: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
For non geo specific TLD like: .com .net .org .info etc…
You can set target country in Webmaster tools.

#SESLon @LisaDMyers
BUT don’t restrict yourself. Only to be used if you definitely DON’T want to show up in any other indexes

#SESLon @LisaDMyers@LisaDMyers #SearchLove
hreflang attributeThe new way of saying “It’s the translated page innit” or “it’s suppose to be indexed in this country”
![Page 24: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
What is it?
The Hreflang attribute is simply a way of telling the search engine this is a different language version of a page.
![Page 25: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
When to use Hreflang
• You translate only the template of your page, such as the navigation and footer, and keep the main content in a single language
• Your pages have broadly similar content within a single language, but the content has small regional variations. For example, English-language in the US, GB, and Ireland.
• Your site content is fully translated. For example, you have both German and English versions of each page.
![Page 26: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Guides on Hreflang
Google’s guide on hreflang
Can be implemented as a HTML link element in the header <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="http://www.example.com/en" > <link rel="alternate" hreflang="de" href="http://www.example.com/de" >
(must be implemented within HTML on BOTH URLs)
Or by Implementing Hreflang using sitemaps (recommended)
![Page 27: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Tool for creating sitemap
the Mediaflow created this tool to make it easier:www.themediaflow.com/resources/tools/href-lang-tool/

#SESLon @LisaDMyers
BTW!The Hreflang attribute will NOT make your site rank higher!! And is not the same as canonical.
![Page 29: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
Be Aware
Using hreflang and canonical together can have huge detrimental impact if done wrong

#SESLon @LisaDMyers
If you want traffic from Norway; Snakk Norsk for faen
Funnily enough the search engines also believes that a site that has content in Norwegian might also be targeting Norway. Simples. End of.

Speak Their Language!
Don’t directly translate and for F#%* sake don’t use Google translate and think that’s it.

IP Detection/Redirection
• Several big issues with IP Detection but mainly the problem that bots usually crawl from US IP so therefore might never see your other content.
• Instead maybe use a javascript overlay that detects IP address and requests users to select relevant country!!!

Sometimes it seems like the algorithm is different from country to country.
Updates DO get rolled out at different times in the country specific indexes so in a way the algo IS different.
![Page 44: International SEO at SES London 2014 #SESLon](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5416291d8d7f72316c8b4972/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
#SESLon @LisaDMyers
If you are working in one of those countries that gets the search engine updates rolled out much later…you basically have a crystal ball into the future. Use it wisely!

Blogger Outreach still works well. Not over saturated and people are positive and open (not jaded).

Scandinavia
There is little point in blogger outreach in Sweden (99% wants paying). Denmark is quickly following suit.
In Norway there are all sorts of legal rules for declaring something is done with marketing intent.
