Google Webmaster's "x-default hreflang" for International Landing Pages

Today, Google Webmaster Blog introduced a new rel-alternate-hreflang annotation that webmasters can use to specify homepages supported by Google and Yandex.

We can annotate this in the sitemaps or by using HTML tags like as follows:







It basically tells Google algorithms that the page containing the new "x-default hreflang attribute" is not targeting any specific locale or language thus making it as a default page as the best pick.

So is your website targeting global or multiple countries? Then you might find this very helpful. Try it now! :)
