Links metrics & rel="alternate" hreflang="x"

[Maxoulala]

Bonjour! If with rel="alternate" hreflang="x" we can indicate to Google that an URL have translated equivalents of a page, are the links metrics splited between all pages or Google considers all the pages as only one? Thanks! Maxime

HI Maxime,

If you have all your pages under different folders www.yoursite.com/en-uk or www.yoursite.com/en-us, they are all under one site and you share backlinks.  That is one of the benefits of creating subfolders or subdomains when you plan to go global/international with your website instead of creating a completely new website.

Hope this helps.
