Once i get back from Amsterdam and find some free time I will put together a basic specification on Information Architecture for SEO.

Essentially how to structure your site for both user and Search Engine benefit.

I don’t directly agree nor disagree with Gary’s advice but I will say if you decide to split your site into country targetted areas it can be easier to manage once it is in a subdomain structure.

Heimdall’s question of:

Quote:
BTW How the heck do yo host a subdomain in a different country form your main domain, I thought the whole point with subdomains was that they were essentially a part of the main domain and hosted in the same place.

Without getting ultra technical, each subdomain can have a seperate A name record set within the DNS – When this is done you then have the ability to host it in different places, maybe assigning a host in the location you are targetting for that subdomain.

EG:

  • http://www.examplesite.dom = hosted as normal
  • fr.examplesite.dom = hosted in France
  • de.examplesite.dom = hosted in Germany
  • es.examplesite.dom = hosted in Spain

etc etc.

If anyone wants to, then feel free to come and buy a cup of tea in Amsterdam and I am sure we can have a chat while drinking it!
