    Tech language setup for new tube site

    Hi Guys & Girls,

    Quick question, we are setting up a new adult tube site and we saw that some big guys like Pornhub or xhamster are having the language tag as subdomain instead of directory.

    So like: it.pornhub instead of pornhub.com/it/video

    What would be better for a new site? as subdomain or as directory? And at what things should i think when i set it up as subdomain?

    Main question, whats better for SEO :D

        Most popular sites set up separate subdomains for this, like:
        de.redtube.com

        Google treats each separate subdomain as its own entity so it is wise to set up subdomains for these different languages.

          Thanks for the reply. However would every subdomein have a unique sitemap? And how about content? All the same for every language? Would take some huge storage...

            Don't use subdomains. Use the subfolder or a parameter. Google treats different subdomains as different websites, so the value of your website will be wasted with the subdomain system, because you will have to work in building a reputation for every subdomain. Just use the subfolder or a parameter, and don't forget to set up properly the meta tags in every page indicating the other languages' versions.
            ...Nice.

              do you really need to use subdomain/subfolder?

              i think in PHP, most browser sends HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE to indicate what locale the surfer is in

              $locale = Locale::acceptFromHttp($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']);
              echo $locale; // returns "en_US"

              then just use that to detect the correct language pack to use.

              a common practice is to have a dropdown in the menu, so that users can choose what language to view the contents (and store that in cookie for their future visit)
