Multiple language indexing


PērļošanaPērļuBode

Recommended Posts

My store have 4 languages and there are problems with page indexing in google.

My default language indexing is normal, that is, if I copy product url in google search I can find that page indexed.

Other languages - some products I can find, some not.

 

there are also problems with dublicate meta content (titles ans description).

for example, I have product abc.

so google find:

1) myhompage/abc-p-5.html

2) myhompage/abc-p-5.html?language=en

3) myhompage/abc-p-5.html?language=de

4) myhompage/abc-p-5.html?language=lv (<===lv is my default language)

5) myhompage/abc-p-5.html?language=ru

6) myhompage/ert-p-5.html?language=en(<== "ert" it is the same product, but in other language url. For example, in english product url myhomepage/doors-p-7.html in german would be myhomepage/turen-p-7.html. I have installes 'ultimate seo urls' and 'header tags seo').

7) myhompage/ert-p-5.html?language=de

8) myhompage/ert-p-5.html?language=ru

9) myhompage/ert-p-5.html?language=lv

10) myhompage/ert-p-5.html

11) myhompage/ath-p-5.html?language=en

...

fourth language for the same product.

All this urls generates dublicate content. Some urls are indexed, but sometimes clicking in google search on "cached page" it shows error - no such page on the server.

 

I have installed Header Tags Seo. and there are canonical links, but anyway - google in 'html suggestions' shows dublicate meta content problem. also as I mentioned above, some urls are not indexed properly, - I can find page in google results, but clicking on cached page it shows error.

In my default latvian languge, when Im searching for product url, in google search result urls shows without ?language=lv,

but when I search in other language, for example in english urls shows with ?language=en

here is live example from my store, try search in google:

in default language, latvian: http://vaciesuuznemums.com/koka-kerras-c-39.html (in search results shows without language=lv)

in english: http://vaciesuuznemums.com/wooden-wheelbarrows-c-39.html (in search results shows with ?language=en)

in german: http://vaciesuuznemums.com/holzerne-schubkarren-c-39.html (with ?language=de)

 

this is category page in we see, that we have 2 canonical links:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://vaciesuuznemums.com/holzerne-schubkarren-c-39.html?language=de" >

and:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://vaciesuuznemums.com/holzerne-schubkarren-c-39.html" >

 

one title for both.

 

 

 

 

To resolve all that problems I added in robots.txt file

allow: *index.php*

dissalow: *language=lv*

dissalow: *language=en*

dissalow: *language=ru*

dissalow: *language=de*

 

I added this lines today.

 

So, google should block pages:

myhompage/doors-p-5.html?language=lv

myhompage/doors-p-5.html?language=de

myhompage/turen-p-5.html?language=lv

myhompage/ert-p-5.html?language=de

myhompage/furniture-p-8.html?language=ru

myhompage/furniture-p-8.html?language=en

myhompage/mobel-p-8.html?language=de

 

And index:

myhompage/doors-p-5.html

myhompage/turen-p-5.html

myhompage/furniture-p-8.html

myhomepage/mobel-p-8.html

 

Is it so? Or maybe that problems are impossible resolve and now my content will dissapear from google search results??

then how to resolve that problems?
