Dual Language Website

Everything to do with using your own website to advertise your rental property. Design, usability, hosting, getting listed on the search engines, optimising your site, pay-per-click, etc, etc.

LouiseT, you must do what you think is best but I do feel you are getting very hung up on the two domain SEO thing. It's a nice to have but not an essential first thing. People will be able to find your B&B by name or small geographic area whatever domain you use with basic SEO. It's only if you want to appear high in the listings for a wide geographic area that top grade SEO is required and as I said before, that will cost you a lot of time and money and it can't be done overnight.

The dual language requirement is easily dealt with either by having two versions of each page or using Google translate which some members use very successfully.
Helen's site looks great - I just meant there wasnt options to add things like shopping cart etc although perhaps there is the option to add that no doubt if you contact them.

The two domain website is something I keep going back to as I think it looks an easier option.

Has anyone used GoDaddy before....?

This not my quote ?

You can, on different pages. You optimise a page rather than the whole site. Choose one or two search terms per page.

On the subject of the physical location of the server that your site is hosted on, I am told that this is no longer an issue for Google (by a company that should know these things).
This is not my quote ?

The first one no, unfortunately LouiseT must have broken the quote (while quoting me in a post which was also quoting you) hence the bit of html showing and the mis-attribution.

The second one looks like you though? First page, post 15.

Louise I will send a PM later today.


Peter it looks as if all of these quotes are getting confusing.
Maybe this explanation clears it up.

As gam said something seems to have gone wrong with the HTML

Maybe I have added to the confusion by quoting quotes...is there no end to this? :oops:

And I am confusing things. I intended to say "More importantly, you can't optimise for search terms "b&b" AND "Chambres d'Hotes" on the same website. "

Um, is that correcting your earlier typo (times/terms) or are you repeating your assertion? :?
