hi there,

i would talk about a specific topic: The impact of mulstisite wordpress on seo

Do you think that penalize seo activity ?

i make you an example :  a wordpress network of sites, domain based let the possibility to manage two domain on a single wp install, but even if the domains are separete,

how does google see them, as separate or as a sigle domain?

thanks joseph...

have a good day..

hi experts of seo,
could you help me to set up my multilanguage site?

WHAT'S HAPPENED
we are translating our site and we have to DECIDE the best technical solution for us

SEO target:
we haven't decided yet, anyway  we are going to try to be ranked in other countries, especially in emergent countries

FINALLY we select the different domain strategy ( .it domain for the italian and .com for the english )

so what are my questions?
how to make them linking without having seo problem, maybe with a intro page ?
and how to set up something that might let visitors the possibility to shift from one to the other?

thank you very much

Guido

hi seomoz addicted, i need your help....

did you see the webinar last friday?

i totally agree with randfish,
especially when he talks about redirection;

To create my multilanguage site i inserted a php redirection on my site homepage that redirects visitors to the right domains. everything it was working fine when i realized that googlebot was no more able to index both sites becouse  it was redirected only to one.... i think that i'll create an home page where visitor could select their language and then by setting a cookie that redirects only the returning visitors ... what do you think?

I've just one doubt, shall i put this home page on both domain, and what will be the new url adress of my current home page?

How the new home page have to look like ( in terms of seo )? i mean there will be only an image and two links for the .com and .it domain, isnn't it? and how to put the cookie for returning visitors?

hope to have been clear

thanks,
Guido

thanks mr seo,

i've just cancelled the php redirtect code.... it must be the source of my seo problems....

anyway, i would like to create different sites, but if somebody would like to see the english version?

in that case, should i put a link to the english site? but should i redirect every single page to the corresponding ? or is it better to put a generic link that points to the english home page ?

thanks from a jounior

Hi mr. seo addicted,

first of all thank you for the answer..

i don't know why a 302 redirect is now placed in..anyway my goal is to index the two site in different country, one in italy and one in the united states; so i'll follow your advice  setting different geotargeting option... about the content i'm creating unique content except for the blog that is still under translation..

to shift from one language to the others i decided to put a php code that automatically recognizes the browser  language and redirects users from .it  to .com and vice versa, do you think is a good choice?

finally could you please help me to find the 302 redirect?

thank's for the precious help...

hi seo addicted,

i've got a question for you: i've recently created the english version of a site. to do this i decided to create the same site into another domain becouse i must index the site in  others countries. But now i've got some seo problems; in fact if  you search for "zenucchi" the first result is zenucchi.com ( the new one )... on the contrary  if you searched for that query before it would appear zenucchi.it with 6 under result insted of the .com ..

the point is:

1. is that becouse i've made a mistake by buying to different domains?

2. how can i fix it ?

hope to recive some answers....

thanks, guido

i'm sorry but i don't understand what you mean, i need to have concrete answer in order to solve my problem...so, what shall i do?

sorry if i'm too direct, but i'm a bit tired to read generic question that dosen't help me..

thanks, guido

Hi everyone,

Do you think that google places have influence on organic search? i mean if you are on google places with your companies, your ranking must be better for that query? isn't it ?

if you agree with me i'll bring you this stange case:

my clients has a company profile on google places but it is only fourth on the organic results for that query and his competitor is ranked first with:

• no google places profile
• no authority
• and no company in the city ( in fact it is not in the city but 30 miles far )

the query is "poltrona frau brescia"

poltrona frau= name of the company

brescia= city in wich the company is located

thanks

Hi Brian, i suggest you to follow this step: 1. Think about the keywords that best match to the company's services 2. Use Adwords tool to find out other combinations of words 3. Use the Adwords tools to find out the keyword traffic data 4. Select three for Each service given by the company 5. Use the seo moz tool to calculate the keyword difficulty and the potential competitors 5.make a choice from three to one ( focus your attention on your competitors reputation ) 6. create one page for each service and make an home page optimization ( meta description, title, content etc. ) to obtain the A in the on page analysis tool 7. Now you have to Increase your page reputation by obtaining link from related site wich should link you with a followed link containing your keyword as anchor text Hope that help Guido
