I am creating a site with several languages (Portuguese, Spanish, English).
On the question of SEO what is the most correct way to use?
Subdomains ( pt.meusite.com
) or Directories ( meusite.com/pt
) ?
Since in the eyes of Google
use a subdomain, it would be like a new site, a separate site without any link to the main site.
I think using a directory is the best solution, even by Pagerank. But I’m afraid to think I’m doing well and I’m doing very badly.
I saw in an article that is only recommended use subdomains on sites with a lot of content, and that portray different contents, such as Stack Exchange, UOL, G1, Terra, Estadão, IG, R7, etc.
My site will deal with the same content, only what will change are the languages, and some things, because I will sell some products by countries (Brazil, Mexico, Portugal and Spain), so need to change prices, currencies, information, etc...
An example in UOL:
For Economy Only News: http://economia.uol.com.br
for Cars only: http://carros.uol.com.br
Look at the Stack Exchange sites that are a huge network. Do you see stackoverflow.com/pt or pt.stackoverflow.com? Here’s your answer :)

Yes @Brunoaugusto you want to compare a network with dozens of different sites, with different content and millions of hits, with only one site with copies in other languages? I don’t think you understand me.

I won’t rule out my opinion. Methodology is a concept and concepts should be applied even before considering the degree of popularity of a site or how many other sites the programmer/company has.

This question seems to be discounted because it is about SEO. See relevant vote on the target.

@Kyllopardiun I took the liberty of changing your last comment a little and include a link.
