Hi, I have a forum that is basically in English language. However, I have integrated a Persian language keyboard for posting messages in Persian so that people not good in English can type their messages in Persian. I am concerned because I am sure that most of them will type messages in Persian language, even if they know English. That will increase the forum's user base. But, because about 90% of the forum posts will be in Persian font so will it not be difficult (or perhaps impossible) to properly search forum on Google and other search engines? I am afraid that the forum pages will not appear at good ranks on search engines. Should I keep my entire forum in English? because Persian keyboard will adversely affect SEO? Thanks and sorry for my bad Persian style English.
________________________________ Dear Englishpimp, Because people on this forum are shy enough to reply to your question, so here is what I suggest: Your best bet is to keep your forum in English. Loose users who can't write in English. That's it! your forum will be useless if it will not appear in searches. (Next time, never say that your forum will also support 'Persian'. You will get no response or help. Further, change your nick from EnglishPimp to Brad Pitt or sir James Jones.... aw.. what about Megan/Julia/etc.etc. with an attractive girl's avatar?.....LMAO)
