That's why I pointed to the pros and cons in the table, which still apply. For example, the cons for using different domains are: Expensive (can have limited availability), Requires more infrastructure, Strict ccTLD requirements (sometimes). The pros for using subdirectories are: Easy to set up, Low maintenance and doesn't require multiple Google Search Console and Analytic properties... Every time you add a domain, you're doubling your development, maintenance, tracking, and marketing efforts.

| Oct 15, 2018 at 7:31 | comment | added | simonlehmann | @dan Thanks for your response. I have seen the Google help documentation you linked, but I don't think it's quite the same situation. The scenario in the help documentation is a site covering users in more than country (and therefore more than one language). There are commonly-accepted protocols in place to cater for these multi-national sites, which search engines use to serve the best version of the content to a user. In my case however, I am not trying to serve different versions of the same content based on the end-users state. I want search engines and users to treat the content as unique | |
