			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The goal of this article is to show how to exploit Google<strong> imperfect</strong><em> </em>translations to increase your website traffic.</p>
<p><strong>Disclaimer</strong> :  this is only a hack and you should not use this idea in your site because search engines may not like it :P &#8230; but hack is always a good thing ;)</p>
<p>Google bot indexes relevant content of each page of your website, and so each word used in your texts could be a valid keyword to be found in search engine&#8217;s results. This simply means that producing more relevant content chances to be found grow.</p>
<p>Your site&#8217;s language is only your main language? What would happen if you translate your pages in more than one language? Simple, you&#8217;ll get more daily visitors!<br />
<span id="more-11"></span></p>
<p>Using <em>Google language tools </em>you could translate all site&#8217;s content ( using an automated script I suggest ;) ) &#8230; but as we know that translations are imperfect and often cryptic for common humans.</p>
<p><strong>So&#8230; where&#8217;s the hack?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Simple</strong> ! A simple script at the top of pages that performs this controls:</p>
<ul>
<li>if useragent connecting to a page is <em>Googlebot</em> ( or other search engine spider bot ), we display translated text ( with <em>Google Translator</em> )</li>
<li>otherwise main language content will be displayed</li>
</ul>
<p>So, search engines will index pages in your main <strong>language</strong>and in all languages generated by <em>Google Translator</em>and your website will appear in search engine results for a bigger set of keywords but when a visitor try to access to a page containing imperfect and no good translations he will be redirected to the page in the main language.</p>
<p>Create a simple test site on a free hosting service to believe ;)</p>
