hi all. ok so my hobbyism in SEOing my own sites over the last 18 months or so, along with a recent emigration now finds me a veritable expert on the subject among my friends and colleagues here, all of whom seem to have websites needing looking at, and I've just landed my first "client" SEOing a friend's site.
it's quite a nice site as far as usability is concerned but anything I do SEOwise will be an improvement, as this has never been considered thus far and they arent in the first top ten pages of any of the engines, for any searches we could find. so im pretty sure I can improve dramatically on that
however it is a 3 language site, English, Spanish & Italian, with language selection at the front page before entry. i've just set them up with adwords and am i'm only just installing GA so have no idea of current language split of users.
am wondering how best to go about it, should I focus on trying to
SEO the English language site first and just raise backlink count (9 currently) or do I need to be thinking about all 3 simultaneously?
any thoughts?
edit: sorry, didnt say, its 3 language versions on one .com domain.
