Wordpress: Google Translate effect on SEO?

03-26-2012, 12:01 PM

I have debated installing the Wordpress Google Translate plugin on a few of my blogs which get a large amount of foreign traffic.

These are very well established blogs which are aged 5+ years.

My question is, will installing the Google translate plugin have any negative effect on my search engine rankings?

I assume that it will increase my SE traffic from other countries as Google will index the site in the other languages as well.

Read around a bit but couldn't seem to find any solid information on this.

So have any of you installed this plugin on an established blog(s) and seen positive effect? Negative effects?

Any input would be appreciated.

I'm not sure about that one specifically and have heard bad things about it, but you want a translation widget that creates and caches the translated data on load instead of changing anything in the index if you don't want negative SEO. Some translation widgets can cause crawl errors, duplicate content/pages, and/or bigger load and file size on your server.

Hope this helps

it doesn't even work, like all the plugins based on Google translate services since Google took down the API. There's a translation plugin based in Bing that still works, only that it doesn't do automatic translations, but you have to request it (which is better for SEO). Don't remember the name though

That looks an excellent plugin, thanks for sharing. Seems to be by the same guys who do the "types" and "views" plugin, both of which are also excellent.

You can push feeds through Yahoo Pipes translate module - It spits out a translated RSS, JSon or PHP array ready to import into WP in the usual way.

Yay - I found the edit sig option!..

I might be wrong, but I tested it last week and didn't work.

Also just taking a look at http://wordpress.org/tags/gtrans?forum_id=10 shows that all posts are about the plugin not working and people complaining they were scammed. Maybe the only version that works is the paid one. who knows

Yeah, I use it in a lot of my personal sites and it works pretty well. Maybe you just got unlucky last time

It does help, thanks. Any suggestions on an existing plugin which has those features?

The Bing route does seem like it would be less spammy. Thanks for the heads up.

Awesome.

My question still remains though, has anyone successfully done this? What effects whether positive or negative did you see?

Another bump. Has anyone done this with an established site? If so what were the results?

Test and see. Be a shepherd, not a sheep.

But seriously, do you think Google's going to suddenly turn around to your so-called established websites and say "fuck you, no more traffic" when you install a compatibility plugin?

Use your noggin, governor.
