Hey guys,
I was hoping somebody might be able to help me?
If I create a French sub directory of a website example "brandname.eu/fr" and submit this in webmaster tools to target France will the French version of the website appear in the search results? The home page of the website will be in English and have a county selector in the drop down but I'm hoping that won't be necessary in most cases when the user arrives from a specific country they will land on there country page.
What other factors are necessary for this to work?
Note: The website ideally will not be hosted in France as we will be setting up a subdirectory for multiple countries. We are considering buying country level IPs so it looks to the search engines that they are hosted in that specified country.
Your thoughts and experiences would be appreciated.
Cheers
Rob
