Let's say someone write articles in French and wants to publish them to drive traffic from the French market, but ALSO want to go for the English market...What would be the best option;

1) Create two separate websites, one in french and one in English in order to drive traffic from both markets.

2) Everything under ONE website, but translate everything in both language.

What would be the best in terms or SEO?

    I think that it would be better to run different websites. If the content is identical, there`s no point at expending the website so that your French and English - speaking viewers would navigate one giant mess. What is more, you would get separate statistics from two different blogs and would se the overall picture on both markets much better.

    Hey MValmont,

    I'd recommend having to separate websites for this type of scenario. To be more specific, I mean having "example.com" & "example.fr" as your two websites.

    This makes it much easier for search engines to understand what your content is about and what type of audience is looking for it.

    Hopefully this helps!

    If the site is not full of content, then it is possible on one.
    But I would advise all the same to do two, for the comfort of visitors.

    Go for two websites, otherwise it can be confusing for search engines and visitors alike.

    Staying under the same roof is only a good choice for websites with little content.

    To avoid mix ups, just develop two websites and give each website everything they require in terms of SEO.

    it depends on the amount of content you want to put on your site. If there is a lot of content, then it might be a smart move to create two different subdomains instead of two different sites. Also relevant is the issue of site localization. Average rates for translation depend little on whether it is a regular translation or a translation for localization https://translatehub.org/average-translation-rates/, and you will have to translate content from one language to another anyway. At the same time, having localization, you will save on SEO by promoting only one site, instead of two.

    My opinion is, make two different websites. Because in this way you can get more traffic with different domains. Also, it's good according to the SEO point of view.

    Having a separate website will be so much easier not only for the search engines but for your targeted audience as well. This way you can also easily identify which version is working better also.

    Post above is answering your first 2 questions.

    As to SEO, you are in win / win situation because
    you are doubling your access to both Eng / Fr markets.

    In my opinion, It would be better to have separate websites as it will allow you to have a greater reach and you will get an idea on what both of the audience like/dislike. One website with two languages will confuse the reader and would look like a mess.
