Problem with SE indexation with an Mutlilanguages asp website

Question

User761125113 posted

hello ASP's Communauty

I build this website    url: flirt-t-shirts.com with a 4 languages feature, but we have a problem,

search engine indexing only the english site, and seems to not follow links to other languages,

Its relly a wierd problem for me and i can't find any solution.

i try javascript link (javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$UCLanguageFlag1$dtLang$ctl02$lk1',''))

and something like:  flirt-t-shirts.com/Default.aspx?lang=de  both are wrong (not follow by SE)

Thanks per advance for your ideas !

Xcraft.

For that, you need to take care of following things:

1.  Every page should have its own URL.

2.  Ensure that googlebot can visit every page that you want indexing and easily recognize the "section" of the site which belongs to it.

3.  If you want to rank well in any given language then you need to ensure that the whole page is optimized for that language.  This includes all the languages which used on the page, all the text, title, links etc.

Hi,

 

I have unique urls, but the problem should be something with cookies or something.

Because language is stored in a Session  Var

 

Thanks

I would suggest you to have subfolder for each language so that you will have different url for each language.

for example

http://flirt-t-shirts.com/fr

http://flirt-t-shirts.com/de

that way search engine will index both of the language pages.
