MultLanguage SEO
-
hi guys. i am currently working on the site that supports 4 languages. idea was to create the cookie that contains language value. on the basis of the cookie, server side would withdrawn certain data from database. In this way i would have only one page for all languages(for example "news.aspx") so, my question is: is this way bad for SEO optimization. since there is only one page for all langugaes, crawler will not be able to pass through all languages, only to default. is this way better : news_en.aspx news_hr.aspx news_de.aspx or this: news.aspx?lang=en news.aspx?lang=hr news.aspx?lang=de or is maybe there another way?

As I understand it: The first is better in terms that the search engine will pick up the language (en, hr, de). but the second will provide a better grading relating to the search terms "news". Better still would be to implement url rewriting to create links like "news/lang/en".
