Hollo all, We would like to create a website both in German, europe and in English. We want to target people leaving in Europe. But we are confouse little bit and we have some questions concerning SEO: Which way we will use for getting best restult of different language websites? Using sub-domains (de.mysite.com) and optimize them separately. Or different suffixes for each language (mysite.com/ge/quelque-chose) Or even buy different domains and separate everything (mysite.de, mysite.fr, mysite.com) Content: Say we have content in English, and I use google translator to show my content in German for particular visitors, I assume this translated content won't rank for any German keywords? In other words, if somebody searches something in German, my content won't match ever, since it's only translated right? and if you have any techniques please explain now...
Do some basic seo for English, German site. Submit article, social media submission related only German related site. Each Language site do SEO separately, then only rank your keywords.
Out of these best solution is using different domains for each site: mysite.de, mysite.fr, mysite.com #2 - Using Subdomains : de.mysite.com #3- Using directory based structure : mysite.com/ge/quelque-chose
I think the best way to optimize your website for non English languages is to get backlinks from the websites in that language. For example if you want to optimize your website for Germany, you should make backlinks for your website from .de domain which have content in German language.
