      Hi, I want to pass link juice from my English website to my other languages. Does Google index language flags/links in header?

      Only 1 flag is visible at a time, and from what i´ve read, Google does not index content that is not visible to the user without clicks, like content behind tabs. I´m guessing language drop downs could fall under the same category as well...?

      Any knowledge on this... thank you for your time!

        HI Iurie,

        Are the links to the sites in the other languages available in the HTML or are you loading them more dynamically. If the first is the case then it shouldn't be any problem and Google will at least find the links to these pages and probably provide you with some juice there.

        Besides that I would recommend looking into href lang tags to point Google via the source code as well to the other languages.

        Hope this helps!
