Hi everyone,
<link rel="canonical" href="example.com/tr-tr">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="tr-TR" href="example.com/tr-tr/">
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="example.com">
I've been trying this setup for a week, but Google always selects the main page as a canonical and doesn't even index the tr-TR alternate. I've wasted various credits on different instant indexers and it won't index at all. Do you know what I might be doing wrong? The pages are perfect duplicates, like my competitors are doing.
(Avoid any BS comment regarding Google Guidelines; this is black-hat SEO.)
