I'm running a multilingual website. The site has been optimized to perform well in italian and it does well, because it has many backlinks and good HTML code.
Unfortuanelty I have strong competition and I do not think that I will be able to beat it anymore. They simply have more users and I have missed to reach the critical mass.
However, I know that I can become the number 1 in france, if I would optimized my site for that countries language. So I would have to switch from italian to french.
Since I use cloaking I can change the complete site structure from one day to another and optimize my site for the new language.
However, I will lose all my current results and I'm doing extremly well. I get about 24 000 visits through google every month.
My Question is: How does Google handle sudden site changes? I mean what I`m doing compares to a relanch (so in another language) but I'm afraid that I will run in some kind of filter or end up in the sandbox?!
