I am in the process of creating a site and want to have it in many languages and am in the process of thinking which may be right domain/domains for it. I have read that these sites work best if the url has the domain of a certain country and is hosted in a certain country. My web page is going to be about plastics, so I understand that my web page can be optimised better for the different languajes if it is plasticos.es (for the page in spanish), plastics.co.uk (for the UK), plastici.it (for the Italian page) and plastics.com (as the standard). I understand that I can then link all these pages between them to go from a language to the rest of the languages, having automatically for each page as many links as pages I have). This strategy is a little bit more complicated than the traditional one, since I need to deal with several web pages and several hosting, as compraed to one. At the same time, I am not sure if given the fact that I have several web pages instead of one, I would be dividing the number of liks and may be having several web pages of a 3/4 rank instead of one of rank 5. ¿Any suggestions?
I am a newbie. Since I posted the above message, I have been reading information on the forum regarding multiple languages to realize that what I was planning to do might be quite dangerous since Google will probably understand that the content is the same (although the language differs) and will probably depenalize me. Following this and if I want to have a good page in different languages I would greatly appreciate if anybody could give advice on how to proceed as far as multiple domain vs single domain site. Any info regarding any web page or article that can guide me in this matter would be highly appreciated. I would appreciate very much anybody's help or guidance in this matter.
