Magento

hi guys,in the process of using magento system,I struggling with a problem.

Although i have do many things ,but the google search engine can not index the url of another language , even i submit the sitemap mannually.

All what google’s spider find is just the english interface.

How to make google’s spider get the page of another language, French for example.

Any one can give a help?

I really need help!

The best way to do this is by using “Spider Language”, the language of the Google Search Robots. These robots do not care about the product being sold, its pricing, or how pretty the website is. If the language used in the website is Spider Language, the robot will be attracted to it, giving it a high rating, which results in a high search ranking.

I’m glad I found this forum where I can make more friends.We cant find new and interesting things together

You can configure separate store view and website in Magento. Than configure your store so that French version will be available here: example.com/fr or french.example.com. It will be the same database, same products and same admin zone, but Google will index it as separate French store.

It is the best solution to my mind.

I must try this step,
and I hope it will be continued,

thanks guys,

I have been having quite much troubles with Google indexing my website and the website handling the /en/ and /es/ bit.

If i Add Store Code to Urls then Google doesn’t find the Spanish pages because the /es/ somehow doesn’t come and it ends to a 404
Also on front end if I switch language i get also a 404 because for some reason Google doesn’t add the /es/ only /en/ works fine.

I now i am not Adding Store Code to Urls, the site works fine but Google doesn’t index the English pages even if the URL are in English.
I have set two site maps and uploaded them to Google to no use, Google indexes 2 pages of the English site when it indexed 51 on the Spanish side.

A real nightmare!!

Magento ver. 1.7.0.2

Google does not like sub-directories, multisite domains and sub-domain or use a single domain with pseudo country stores (Saks, Net-A-Porter, Selfridges, etc) although it looks like we are the only ones to have this last method working in Magento, it is complex to do if do not want to change the underlying core code, which is also complex. There are various ‘tricks’ to getting sites indexed the same day, waiting weeks is not necesary.
