Use clear brand and regional navigation, then link within the content when another product page, guide or engineering resource helps answer the reader's next question. Both shieldingcan.com and emishieldcase.com will cover the complete product-image collection in the local products directory. ShieldingCan focuses on structures and selection; the engineering site develops custom requirements. Each provides its own complete product browsing and inquiry path.
Scope: Plan B covers 28 new domains: 12 content sites and 16 reserved domains. This phase covers the current static review of shieldingcan.com only. All sites represent the same business and must identify that relationship rather than appear to be independent third-party recommendations.
Status: This is an internal, noindex planning page. Other domains and topics are suggestions shown as text. Cross-site links will be enabled only after the destination content is live and its final URL is confirmed. The existing shieldingcover.com is outside this phase and will not be changed or added automatically to the navigation.
All domains below come from the existing domain list and are registered by the business. The allocation follows Plan B. Reserved domains are not cross-link destinations at this stage; any future redirect requires a separate decision. No redirects have been configured as part of this review.
Both have complete product catalogs. One emphasizes selection; the other develops custom engineering content. Cross-site links answer specific follow-up questions.
Germany
abschirmhaube.com
abschirmkappe.com
German-language market entry. Matching German detail pages may form part of an equivalent language-version group.
Japan
shield-case.com
shield-cover.com
Japanese-language market entry, with product information, selection guides and the inquiry process available on the site.
South Korea
shield-can.com
emi-shieldcan.com shieldcan-kr.com
Korean-language market entry. Establish relationships at the individual product or article level.
United Kingdom
screeningcan.com
emi-screeningcan.com
UK English entry. Assess regional equivalence with US English pages against the actual content.
India
rfshieldingcan.com
emishieldingcase.com emi-rfshielding.com
English-language entry for India, retaining a complete local selection and inquiry path.
Taiwan
pcb-shield.com
emc-shield.com pcbshield.com
Traditional Chinese entry. Equivalent product pages can participate in language or regional switching.
France
blindage-cem.com
capot-blindage.com
French-language entry. Cite another site only when its additional engineering information helps with the current task.
Sweden / Nordic markets
skarmburk.com
emi-skarmning.com
Swedish and English are planned in the domain list. Establish version relationships once the actual language pages are defined.
Israel
rfshieldcover.com
emi-rfshield.com
English-language entry for Israel. Regional content must accurately describe the market and services.
Brazil
blindagem-emi.com
tampa-blindagem.com
Brazilian Portuguese entry. Product-detail switching should lead to the same topic in the appropriate language.
Even regional sites in the same language require a page-by-page equivalence check. If a contextual link leads to another language, make that clear beside the anchor, for example “Snap-fit and sample validation (English).” Each regional site should support basic selection and inquiries without requiring a visit to a US site.
Feasibility matrix
Place a link when it helps the reader complete the current task. Set link volume and cross-site proportions according to content needs rather than quotas. Anchor text should explain what the destination provides. [1]
Internal navigation, equivalent language versions and cross-site recommendations serve different purposes.
Link type
When it fits
Example
Avoid
Internal links First choice
The next page continues the same engineering question. Product pages, selection guides and inquiry tools are reachable through normal navigation.
One-piece product page → one-piece vs. two-piece guide → two-piece product page. Explain why the next resource is useful.
Inserting every product into every article; detail pages discoverable only through a sitemap; keyword strings used as link text.
Equivalent language or regional versions Use after equivalence is established
Pages represent the same product or topic in different languages or regions, including across domains. A hreflang group uses complete URLs, includes each page itself and provides reciprocal references. [2]
Chinese, English and German versions of the same one-piece shielding can page, with a visible language selector.
Marking a structure page and a custom engineering page as language alternatives; switching a product detail to another site's homepage; publishing hreflang before the language page exists.
Contextual engineering links across sites Use for complementary content
The reader needs a specific explanation beyond the current site. The destination directly supplies it, and the shared business relationship is clear.
An assembly paragraph on the two-piece shielding page points to the proposed snap-fit and sample-validation topic on emishieldcase.com.
Sending every detail page to another homepage; duplicating entire articles and cross-linking them; requiring reciprocal links regardless of context.
Brand or regional selector Enable when destinations are available
Helps users choose a language, regional service or content focus. Explain the shared business and destination purpose, and let the user choose.
Group “Product structures,” “Custom engineering,” and “Regions and languages.” Prefer the matching detail page when an equivalent version exists.
Inventing local offices or supply promises; displaying domains merely to pack in keywords; forcing a regional switch without explaining the content change.
Partner or resource links Use for a genuine relationship
Link to real industry resources, organizations or business partners and explain the relationship. Owned topic sites fit more naturally in brand navigation.
Reference a source in a materials article or a relevant page beside a real partner introduction.
Presenting 12 owned sites as independent endorsements; repeating product-keyword links throughout sitewide footers; creating partner pages solely for link exchanges. [3]
Three proposed contextual links
The source pages are part of the current site. The destinations are proposed engineering topics for emishieldcase.com. Suggested anchors below are text examples only; no cross-site href has been created.
01 · Structure selection to drawing preparation
One-piece shielding can
Source:one-piece.html, in the custom dimensions and openings discussion.
Proposed destination: emishieldcase.com — Drawings and Dimensions for a Custom Shielding Can. Final URL to be confirmed after publication.
Suggested anchor: “drawings and dimensions for a custom shielding can.”
Reader benefit: After selecting a one-piece structure, the reader can prepare the height, opening, assembly-clearance and drawing information needed for an inquiry.
Draft paragraph: Once you have selected a one-piece structure, use the guidance on “drawings and dimensions for a custom shielding can” to prepare the project information for an engineering discussion.
02 · Service access to sample validation
Two-piece shielding can
Source:two-piece.html, in the frame-to-lid fit discussion.
Proposed destination: emishieldcase.com — Snap-Fit and Sample Validation. Final URL to be confirmed after publication.
Suggested anchor: “the snap-fit and sample-validation process.”
Reader benefit: Explain how the frame and lid enter a sample review, with actual removal and replacement conditions rather than appearance alone.
Draft paragraph: If the lid needs to be removed repeatedly for servicing, explore “the snap-fit and sample-validation process” to define the checks for your assembly.
Proposed destination: emishieldcase.com — Shielding Structure Review and Custom Sampling. Final URL to be confirmed after publication.
Suggested anchor: “structure review and custom sampling.”
Reader benefit: Apply the comparison to a real project by supplying board clearance, service access and assembly requirements before discussing a feasible design.
Draft paragraph: If either structure remains a possible fit, move to “structure review and custom sampling” to assess the choice against your project constraints.
Navigation identifies choices; contextual links explain the next step
Visible brand navigation
Explain that the sites share an operator and group them by purpose. Consistent navigation helps users understand the current content focus and the services available elsewhere.
Product structures — this site
Custom engineering — destination not yet live
Regions and languages — final destination URLs to be confirmed
Add other market sites once their language and service information is ready. Reserved or redirecting domains are not additional content destinations and do not need duplicate navigation entries.
Each content site completes the user's task
Both CMS-backed sites independently provide a complete catalog, product details and an inquiry path. Shieldingcan.com develops structure, application and selection information; emishieldcase.com develops custom engineering resources and communication workflows. Contextual cross-references add information relevant to the current question.
This gives readers a clearer reason to leave the page than a wall of keyword links. Regional sites also need complete content rather than acting solely as intermediate pages that funnel users to one destination. [3]
Assign link attributes to the actual publishing relationship
Shared ownership describes the operator. Link attributes depend on how the link is published. A normal editorial link does not automatically need nofollow simply because it crosses a domain. [4]
Editorial references
Use a real <a href="…"> for relevant products, engineering articles and brand navigation. There is no default requirement to add nofollow. The Google documentation on this page is an editorial reference.
Paid or sponsored links
Use rel="sponsored" for advertising or paid placement. Do not describe a paid recommendation as an independent editorial endorsement.
User-generated links
Use rel="ugc" as appropriate for links submitted in comments, forums or other user content. nofollow can be used where the publisher does not trust or wish to associate with the linked destination.
Language and regional alternatives
hreflang declares a relationship between equivalent pages, separate from a contextual recommendation. A structure page here and a complementary custom engineering page do not form one hreflang group.
The robots directive on this internal review page distinguishes planning material from customer pages. It does not define the attributes for normal links on the production site.
Checklist before enabling a cross-site link
The destination is published. Its final URL opens the specific topic being referenced, with complete content and accurate language and service scope. It is not an empty homepage, placeholder or login page.
The context works. Review the source paragraph, natural anchor and destination together. The reader should understand the value of following the link. The new sites do not all need to link to one another.
The relationship is accurate. Disclose the shared business. Adding the existing shieldingcover.com requires a separate decision; it will not be changed automatically in this phase.
Version relationships are checked separately. Add self-referencing and reciprocal hreflang only for genuine equivalent language or regional pages. A normal engineering recommendation does not require that markup.
The link can be maintained. Record the source page, destination URL, topic, language and last check date. Update the link when its destination is removed or changes focus.
Approve the first site in this phase, then activate the other links individually as their destinations go live. Links improve navigation and access to supporting information; search performance still depends on the actual content and search systems' assessment.
