What is to consider when using different (language) domains with joomsef ?

I plan to use language oriented (not geo oriented) domains, other choices may be:

one only webspace, but what is the type of redirection of joomsef when pointing to this webspace

or one webspace for each language oriented domain, is that an alternative with SEO-advanatges ?

It seems to me that 3 webspaces may have the advantage that I can avoid the language direction, but for the rest ??

(Of course, it is depending of the type of business if a webspace physically located in one country gives or not a real advantage, may be that a country domain gives generally a slight ranking advantage in this country when the site is assigned to the region and not to the language)

Hello,

in my opinion if you are using different domains or just paths, such as /en, /de, /fr, ... does not affect SEO much in general, at least not with the major search engines.
However, it might be relevant for some local search engines. Such as german search engine maybe only be checking .de domains.

As regards other aspects, I think both approaches are okay.

Thank you, Jan, for this statement.

I have to observe in the futur what happens. I have my website declared to Google with three sitemaps for the three language directories.

And the domain is declared as non geolocated. Before using artio joomsef, only with joomfish, the behavior was the same.
But may be the simple fact that the hosting is in Germany, can give an advantag for D/CH/A , but people find me also with german words using Google from Moscow or other, but not frem France or Great Britain.

Therefore I'll try the option of three domains.
