Hi all :)

I'm 2nd week out of home and next one I will also spend in other city. Because of that I was and will be less active here for some time.

Sorry for all inconvenience - hope that having so many users you will find help from others if it will be needed. I will read all posts and answer (where it will be still necessary) near Christmas.

Thanks for understanding :)

How does this mod compare to this mod? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ght=translator

And does it increase search engine hits like that mod does in the link, would like an honest answer if its better or worse in what ways.

Thanks.

Hi NLP-er,

I think you will find people OK with this regarding the free version. However, how do you intend to support people who paid for your software? I don't think they will be very understanding and your business could suffer dramatically by not supporting your customers who paid for your software.

Both of these mods operate on similar principles and technologies and both increase traffic in similar ways.

This mod is more actively supported, more in compliance with Google's TOS for using their API, has more features, is faster, more efficient and won MOTM.

This mod also has URL rewriting features built-in that permits you to remove the dynamic language query string and place it in the URL, which many people (include me) believe it is more SEO friendly.

On the other hand, a number of us also use the other mod because of it's simplicity, and we added the required code for Google's TOS (Google attribution, 15 day or less translation cache clearing, referral headers and optional Google API keys) and better SEO (URL rewrites using Apache mod_rewrite) ourselves because the developer of the other mod could not / would not support us. At one time the developer of the other mod was disappointed with the community and pulled his mod, leaving all of us, even those who donated to his generous work, completely abandoned. NLP-er came to our rescue, in a manner of speaking; and listened to the community and worked very hard to add all the features the community requested. That is one of the main reason's he has such strong support.

So, if you want support, features and are not a developer, and want to be in compliance with Google very clear API Terms and Conditions, I suggest you go with this mod. If you want something more lightweight, smaller footprint, less supported, and not compliant with Google's TOS out-of-the-box, then go with the other mod.

Cheers and Good Luck!

Hi!

Small problem. I've added these rules to .htaccess located in /tags/ directory, before but server said "404 not found" on translated pages. Anyone can help me ?

Product - zoints tags.

Ok thanks imported silkroud!

Just another question, would it be ok if I run both mods? I'm guessing not since multiple urls for same language isnt good?

And, what if I uninstall the other mod? those urls will disappear right? (because obviously you don't want them to stay on there) and this mod generates more engine search related results than the other one?

EDIT: And I was looking at the demo and noticed that the urls for each language are yoursite.com/language , so if someone like me, who uses google analytics , how would I go about filtering out these languages so that I can look at the results to see how much visitors this translator is generating me through search engines?

SMall problem using VBSEO Sitemap Generator every time I submit my sitemap I get this error from Google any idea why ? I do not even see those as URLS in the index or the 1st sitemap

I just bought your "unreleased version" Hope you can get it working ASAP for Blogs and Articles on vB40 Publish... that would be a serious gift. I'm installing it for this site where a huge chunk of the impetus is to Push the Machine Translator guys -- and also write/design your content within the restraints

Thanks... you're gonna install it, so we'll be in touch

I have ONE THING TO SAY... YOU ARE FREAKING AMAZING!!!! for the following reasons.. and so is this mod!!

1. In 2 hours, my guests went from around 5 to 64!!
2 . $1.28 in adsense advertising in 2 hours!!!, usually its .33 per 24hrs!!

DUDE YOU ROCK!!!!

I'm definetly going to buy your products now!

by the way, you should put this as proof in your first post in this thread that this works!!

1. What?s sure. :) Google crawles you then with hundreds of bots.
2. I think it was luck because after 2 hours the new sites are not indexed yet.

OK,
Phase 1: multiply index pages by 10 - completed
Phase 2: multiply traffic by 10 - N.A.

Has anyone experience how the indexed pages rank on foreign google searches?
E.g. i have with my forum a no. 1 position with a keyword in my basic language. So I thought it would be nearly the same in other languages and the traffic would explode. But just a very slightly increasing of traffic from foreign countrys.
Does it just takes time to climb in the SERPS or is more realistic, that i won't get a good ranking in foreign language google search?
Just thinking aloud, maybe someone measured that with prof. tools.

Or ist that too off topic?:confused:
