Follow this guide to make your translated website is SEO-friendly.
Log-in to your server FTP/SSH
Locate the nginx configuration file in your server. This is usually in /etc/nginx/sites-available
Modify the Nginx configuration file that handles your server with Bablic's code:
Let's assume you have a configuration file called default that looks like this:
server {
listen 80;
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
}
Modify the conf file so it will look like this:
proxy_cache_path /tmp levels=1:2 keys_zone=my_cache:10m max_size=10g inactive=60m ;
proxy_cache_valid 200 5760m;
proxy_cache_valid 404 301 302 5m;
proxy_cache_key "$host$request_uri";
server {
listen 80;
# SET BABLIC SITE ID
set $bablic_id [INSERT BABLIC SITE ID HERE];
add_header x-bablic-id $bablic_id;
# Standard Web Server Settings - replace this code with your regular webserver settings
root /usr/share/nginx/html;
index index.html index.htm;
# End of Standard Web Server Settings
# Un comment this code if you wish to use subfolders. In this example the subfolders are 'es' for Spanish and 'de' for German.
# This can be changed according to each website languages
#location ~ ^/(es|de)/ {
# if ($http_user_agent ~ (bot|crawler|baiduspider|80legs|mediapartners-google|adsbot-google)) {
# set $bablic_original_uri $scheme://$host$request_uri;
# rewrite .* /_bablicrewrite?;
# }
# rewrite ^/(?:es|de)/(.*)$ /$1;
#
# }
location / {
if ($http_user_agent ~ (bot|crawler|baiduspider|80legs|google|facebook|twitter|seo)) {
set $bablic_original_uri $scheme://$host$request_uri;
rewrite .* /_bablicrewrite?;
}
# Standard file handler
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
# End Standard file handler
}
location /_bablicrewrite{
proxy_method POST ;
proxy_ignore_headers X-Accel-Expires Expires Cache-Control Set-Cookie;
proxy_set_header Content-Length 0;
proxy_set_header X-Bablic-ID $bablic_id;
proxy_set_header X-Original-URI $bablic_original_uri;
proxy_pass http://seo.bablic.com/api/engine/seo;
proxy_cache my_cache;
expires 96h;
}
}
Reload the Nginx process to make the new changes work:
sudo /etc/init.d/nginx reload
To activate Sub-Directories uncomment the sub-directories line and replace the language codes with the languages codes you use in your Bablic account.
That's it, you can click "Verify" in your Bablic SEO Configuration Wizard.
