Is any of you using the WordPress Global Translator plugin or the Lancelhoff? What I want to know: Does this kind of plug-in translate all of your posts in the background automatically so that international search engines can index it using its own language? If it is, then we'll definitely get an explode of traffic, won't we? I heard that they both put a strain to CPU. Will they work with WP-SuperCache?
Hi, I have not used this plugin but definitely would if I hear some good reviews about it. It is in fact the first I have heard of it so please to have come acorss this thread. One of my concerns regarding this plugin is where a blog is already established - would the addition of this plugin change existing URLs? QUOTE: For example the english version on www.domain.com/mycategory/mypost will be automatically transformed in www.domain.com/en/mycategory/mypost
Yes, it most certainly does increase traffic. It increased my SE traffic on my personal blog by at least 20%. And I get a lot of traffic on my personal blog. I would highly recommend.
Alright, I've installed it now on my blog. So I guess after activating the plug-in and choosing the languages, it will translate all of our old posts slowly (to avoid the banning) and international search engines will index them? My hunch is that you have to go to PRO for this feature..? Also need to find out whether it's against AdSense TOS policy for unsupported languages at https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9727 Would monitor the traffic and post about this if it does bring more traffic
That is an awesome plugin. I get a lot of traffic from foreign sites because of the translated pages it generates.
I've got 1000 cached pages but no extra traffic generated yet. Can be caused because the plug-in fails to include these translated pages to my sitemap file I also wonder whether it's against AdSense TOS to include the non-supported languages in... I've posted a thread in the AdSense help forum but no reply for days
do you use it in the sense of geotargeting so you display automatically translated versions of your pages to visitors from other countries?
Nah, it's when someone type keywords in search engines using their language, and the translated pages were picked up By the way, I read on a blog that keeping Google translated pages for more than 15 days is against the TOS What do you guys think of this?
TOS - Terms of Service Basically all the rules / agreement that you usually have to read before clicking on the Accept button
I do know that translating from english to another language, then back again in an attempt to 'fool' the search engines that you content is unique can trip the stats filter on google, which implies an almost instant delist.
