Need SEO Advice for different languages and How to optimize the page
-
Hello.
Currently we have an ecommerce site that sells shoes online in France. The site is in English.
Say the keyword is shoes and our page is example.com/shoes
it;s perfectly fine to optimize that page for keyword of "shoes". Now, what about french keyword of shoes "chaussures" ? How do i optimize it?
Should i create a different page or just edit the same page with keyword of "chaussures" in title tag etc? What is the best way to go about doing this?
Thanks

If you have an online store dedicated to selling shoes in France, I would focus less on how to optimize and more on getting someone that is fluent in French and native to France. You are going to have to give that person the time to really translate your site from a French person's (someone that lives in France) perspective. All the site content.
Once you have accomplished that and used the correct implementation of HREFLANG and the meta language content tag (for Bing), let it sit for the time being. See how much traffic it garners. Get user input, check internal search patterns. If you aren't already tracking internal site search, please do that. If you don't allow internal site search, add that and track it in analytics.
Only then do you optimize for specific text.

Hey,
There are 2 dimensions
1. Translator
You can make French version of all pages by using Translator. You can follow example of this website http://www.worldwidemarkets.com/ This website has done same. Has versions in Espanish, Arabi, English etc.
2. Why French Store is not in French?
I compare monthly searched of 2 keywords through Google Adword Tool "Shoes" 49,000 & "chaussures" 165,000. French word has 3 times more searching level. Have a look: http://screencast.com/t/chZbsPlD
There may be any reason that Store is in English but having French Store inn French make more sense and french words have more searches!

Do parameters in a URL make a difference from an SEO point of view
We us a number of different parameters in a number of our URLs to track how the user has navigated to the page. So for example we will have a page www.example.com/product/?banner to show that the user has navigated to the page from the banner as opposed to www.example.com/product/?footer to show that the user has navigated to the page from the footer. Do search engines treat these pages as the same page or different pages? Thanks

How is this page ranking?
Hi. A client of mine is being outranked by a competitor whose landing page does not include the keyword within their page content AT ALL. Nor does their URL. Nor do any image alts. And their page title features the keyword in the middle of it, not at the start. Their link profile is not great with directories and the like. They are not socially active.. I am confused! I thought content on a page absolutely had to include the keyword to get ranked for it. Here's the page: www.springsoft.ie, keyword is "water softeners" Any thoughts I would appreciate. Many thanks.Christoffa

Removing old URLs that are being used for my on page optimization?
Is there a way to remove old URL's that are still being used for my keywords for my on page optimization? They are giving me grades of F since they no longer exist and if I change the URL to the current one, the grade becomes an A, but they are still showing after the new crawl.
