Spider of Google doesn't come....

[dforce]

Hi to everybody!

two week ago I have added a new section (language) in my website (Pr=5 the home page) as follow wwWebmasterWorldebsite.com/français.htm

Now I have seen that the page rank of the /français is still grey...should it be possible or the 'ç' of the term français give problems?

I also have seen that in the Html code it consider the word français as follow: fran%E7ais

Thanks a lot for your gently help!

Google spider didn't seem to have any trouble indexing è in the word "vidèo" for me.

This may sound like a patronising question but as you are new I don't know what level of SEO you're playing with - have you linked to the new french section from your main page or any other pages from your site?

Hi MikeBeverley!

I am not a clever SEO... :-)

Anyway I have link as follow:

www.mysite.com

than different link to the language sections:

www.mysite.com/italiano.htm
www.mysite.com/deutsch.htm

and than

www.mysite.com/français.htm

It seems that this last link is not spidered from Google, mayube caused by the 'ç'.

Is that correct or I have to wait more for the spider...?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply!

I would rewrite the catalogue to /francais instead.
Even if it is possible to use a ç in a link, you are just asking for trouble. There will always be users that aren't able to access your pages.

Take it as sound advice from someone writing in a language where we have lots of strange characters like å, ä and ö. I would never use them un URLs.
