Duplicate Content by Country Based Redirects ?

Discussion in 'SEO' started by ysribharath, Oct 8, 2015.

    Hi ..

    I have a site by name xyz.com and as per my requirement i think to redirect my visits based on country

    for ex usa people will see usa.xyz.com and uk people will see uk.xyz.com

    And rest of others will see the same xyz.com

    The content on all sub domains is the very same only with difference currency prices and some images

    Will i be penalized by google for having duplicating content ? what i should do to avoid it ? and coming to canonical urls ..i believe i will loose subdomain seo score

    Whats the best way to execute this thing

    I am looking what exactly godaddy does ..

    For india it shows https://in.godaddy.com

    and for

    netherlands it shows https://fi.godaddy.com/

    Are you gonna differentiate between countries with the same languages? If so, just make one post / page, and just reload the currencies and/or images based on what the subdomain is. If different countries, Google doesn't penalize you for having the same content written in different languages.

    My point was more that you can fetch the same file (not an .html-file, though, but some server-side language, like .php) regardless of which subdomain you're using, and just switch what needs to be switched based on the subdomain. Ie, in the index.php file, you'd have some code that pulls the correct information (currency type, and amount) from a database, based on which subdomain the user is currently on.
