Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I don't know if my weekly reports are reporting the ranking of my keywords correctly. I have added some new keywords, since that all my reports are in red numbers. I don't know if this is happening because I did something wrong, or if is because my rankings are really falling down.

When reading about multi-language site structure, general knowledge says that there are 2 right ways of doing it right:

1. Assign one domain per region/ language:

www.domain.fr

www.domain.de

www.domain.co.uk

...

If a country has more than one language, such as Switzerland, you can create folders for those languages:

www.domain.ch/fr - in french

www.domain.ch/de - in german

2. Have a unique domain www.domain.com for the whole site and create folders for language region:

www.domina.com/fr

www.domain.com/uk

...

If a language is spoken in more than one country, you can create subfolders

www.domain.com/fr-ch - french in switzerland

www.domain.com/de-ch - german in switzerland

At first sight, it seems that option 1 is the right one. However, sites such as www.apple.com are using option 2. I am unable to decide... what would you recommend? Any objective criteria?

Thanks! It makes sense

My only concern is that my "landing page" for each region is the www.domain.com/fr or www.domain.com/de. Therefore, my link structure is focused on these pages rather than www.domain.com, would it still work fine?

Hi,

I am managing a site in 5 different languages/regions. Our language structure is as follows:

www.domain.com/en-us/ - For US

www.domain.com/en-uk/ - For UK

www.domain.com/fr/ - For France

...

However, SEOMOZ does not allow to set up a domain with "/" as a campaign. How can I do it?

Thanks
