Optimising Foreign Languages
Don’t Get Lost In Translation
Given there are over 150 million bloggers and that is excluding Chinese language blogs, and Google claims that in five years we will all use the internet in Chinese. Clever google giving the right soundbites. Global sales can really increase a companies sales and search engine optimisation for a translated website is slightly different. A translated site will support an English searcher arriving on site, and then switching to the preferred language but we should think of optimising for localised searches.
The High Page Rank Directories
Online Marketing In A Foreign Language
Unfortunately my request to go to France to do keyword research fell on deaf ears. The site needs to perform well before these trips can sell themselves. Struggling to find a foreign language keyword list, there are always sites like suggestyooda.com to get relevant keywords. Avoid mixing languages, as this will only diminish efforts to rise up the search results.
The groundwork is vital before the more familiar SEO begins. Linkbuilding, via open directories like DMOZ. Also I am establishing profiles on social sites and starting different blogs on the relevant host, which is google.fr. The whole exercise has enhanced my language skills and sharpened my SEO skills. Article submission gives more exposure to the website noticed using the websites keyword list.
The Linkbuilding Process
Quality Links Not Quantity
Where Have All The Quality Links Gone
Google have spoken about their policy of ranking websites that exhibit authority and high page rank. They have produced a toolbar option, the sidewiki for users to add relevant content to the search engine. During the Vince and caffeine updates, it was an opportunity to monitor traffic to my sites in other search engines. With Facebook getting a limited integration with Bing, there is a potential for quality links from facebook.
Linkbuilding is becoming less effective, so I am improving my page rank through article submissions with optimised titles and keywords littered throughout. Articles and press releases, if carefully constructed give some quality links. Similarily, directory submissions are still an active part of my SEO, and along with the articles, they have to be submitted to high page rank sites only.
SEO & Blogging
Recently celebrating its tenth anniversary, the blog combines as a key tool in Search Engine Optimisation. Writing blogs should be about fun and interaction and I am here to tell you that it is . Google needs bloggers to continue their work anyway, and they are a long way off perfecting their ranking system. The good news is SEO is here to stay!
