Buongiorno from 18 degrees C Wetherby UK

On this site http://www.milwaukeetool.eu/ the client wants to hold on to the EU site despite there being multiple standalone country sittes e.g. http://www.milwaukeetool.fr & http://www.milwaukeetool.co.uk

Why would you ever need an EU site? I mean who ever searches for an EU site? If the client holds on to the eu site despite my position it's a waiste of time from a search perspective is the folowing the best appeasment?

When a user enters the eu url or redirects to country the detected, eg I'm in Paris I enter www.milwaukeetool.eu it redirects to http://www.milwaukeetool.fr. My felling this would be the most pragmatic thing to do?

Any ideas please,
Cioa,
David

Thank you for all your replies this was bugging me but the pain of not knowing has vanished like the morning mist as the warming glow of sunshine illumunates truth

Bonjourno from Wetherby UK...

Ive used a package called screamong frog to diagnose canonical errors but can anyone tell me what this means? http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/understand-occurances-canonical.jpg

Thanks in advance.

Having spoke to oiur internal helpdesk (Who I trust & do know what theyre talking about) theyve taken a look at:

http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/what-our-customers-say/right-to-manage/

and I'm afraid they have a different perspective which is they see no canonical problem Hey ho think I'll just set my head on fire then maybe things will be more clearer

Hi Istvan - your advice is good but ive just discovered its not been implemented! Time to kick some ass, I'll update you

Wow great anser, I'm on to this now & will updat you with how things went

Morning from suny & warm wetherby UK

On this page http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/how-we-care-for-you/right-to-manage/ screaming frog is citing a canonical error but I'm confused as this piece of code is in place:

http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/About/right-to-manage" />

So my question is please - "Does this page  http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/how-we-care-for-you/right-to-manage/ have a caninical error or is screaming frog useless?

Other examples where screaming frog is picking up canonical errors include:
http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/what-our-customers-say/right-to-manage/
http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/buying-a-home/right-to-manage/

Oh forgot to say the preffered version is http://www.goldsboroughestates.co.uk/About/right-to-manage/

Any insights welcvome

Bonjour from "Its a miracle is not raining" Wetherby Uk

Ok here goes... Why despite a robots text file excluding indexing to site

http://lewispr.netconstruct-preview.co.uk/ is the site url being indexed in Bing bit not Google?

Does bing ignore robots text files or is there something missing from http://lewispr.netconstruct-preview.co.uk/robots.txt I need to add to stop bing indexing a preview site as illustrated below.
