More Website Traffic

I have recently found 2 ways to generate a lot of traffic to my client sites, both related to foreign languages. My sites are not “Make Money on the Internet” or “Lose Weight” sits, but international business and small business target audience. Having said that, people in foreign countries need to lose weight and want to make money on the internet just like anyone else.

Yesterday I had a person land on my clients page after having done a search on Google Canada with the results page in Korean. The person did a search related to my clients keywords and we were 4th on the results page. I did the exact same search in the US Google and we were not in the first 100.

Not oddly, over the last month I see a lot of foreign search arrive on our site the same way, common keywords searched in foreign language Google pages.

I wrote a series of articles on how to get your site listed on foreign language search engines. Not Google in a different country, but Yandex, Baidu, Pathfinder and other names that you may have never heard.

These search engines want pages in their language. I don’t speak Russian (but I made a page describing my clients services in Russian). I don’t read Chinese, Greek or German either, but I have pages in those languages and my client has clients based on those searches.

How to do this.
Go to translate.google.com and translate your page into all of the languages available. Make posts on your site or blog with all of these languages. If you have a blog and don’t want the posts on page one - this can cause confusion - then use the time stamp and post them last week. The posts still get spidered.

Once translated, submit the foreign language pages to the foreign search engines. This will make the search engines assume that you have a lot of data in whatever language you post. Google then searches the foreign search engines (they actually do this) and when Google takes data from Pathfinder they assume that everything on the site in question could be in that language, and moves you high on the Google SERP.

Once done I go to Stumbleupon and other similar media. submit your sites - but only on places that will call out your language selection. This also calls out your site as possibly having results in the foreign language to Google.

Nutshell
* Select one page that offers your products or services. Not a long page.
* Translate and post one page in your foreign language of choice.
* Submit to foreign search engines.
* If you have the guts, go to blogs in that foreign language and post replies using the google translation tool. Specify that you are using the translation tool; also include your reply in English. On the URL line, link back to your foreign language page.
