: Which is best for PageRank? When multi-Aliases point to same server, with multi-language folders Imagine situation where multiple aliases point to the same server, where htacces divides them into

Posted in: #CanonicalUrl #Domains #Pagerank #Seo

Imagine situation where multiple aliases point to the same server, where htacces divides them into their own language folders.

Example:
mywebsite.fr >> /fr/home
mywebsite.de >> /de/home
mywebsite.it >> /it/home
about seven more domains...


Possible options to maintain in terms of SEO:


Dont do anything, let the different versions of home sit on their own alias.
Set a canonical for each page 1 and the same master url
no matter what alias you are at, the canonical reads: website.com/fr/home website.com/it/home or website.com/de/home etc
let all domains permanent redirect to master url (website.com together with their language folders set. so
website.fr >301> website.com/fr/home website.de >301> website.com/de/home etc.
([please suggest & I will update it here)


Questions that come to Mind:
Which one is best for PageRank? Which one will focus the PageRank into one domain? Which one will cause spread? Is Canonical used properly for 2.?
Thanks! all comments are valued greatly.

They are all equally a bad approach for building PR.

The problem is that each page gets it's own PR, which dilutes the total PR given to your site.

None of the above. PR is per page, not per site or per directory or URL structure, etc. Each page's PR is determined using the PR formula which is based on link popularity.
