J-A Eberhard	Monday 14 August 2006 11:59:56 am Hi, It might be an eZ related issue or not, but I hope someone to gives me some clues. Have a multilingual portal on eZ 3.8 for the last 6 months. The portal is almost unknown from google despite regular visit by GoogleBot. If I go to http://www.google.com/search?q=site:www.graines-de-paix.org&hl=en google list only 3 of about 444 results. Others are hidden behind the "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 3 already displayed. If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included." comments. From my understanding this should only happen to pages with similar contents, but it's not the case. Why are others ignored? Meta tags and content are fine. I'm running other website on eZ and never had such an problem. Helps, suggestion or reports of similar problems are welcomed.

Roland Benedetti	Monday 14 August 2006 4:00:47 pm The content seems not to be translated from one language to another, so many urls are serving similar content, google may ignore massively more than you expect considering this as no really clean. I would recommend 1st to finish translation before analysing google behaviour on this site ... If it can helps, unfortunately i have no other ideas ! or may be one : i used this forum (in french) when issues with google : http://www.webrankinfo.com/forums/ Some really wise googleguys are travelling there and might help you !

Hi Roland,

The first check would be to remove untranslated pages, and wait to see google behavior but it's rigjt that most content are served by 8 differents URLs.
