    Oookaaayyy. Sorry, slow day today. Then additionally to GParkings' post ( which now makes sense to me as well, all of a sudden :-\ ) translating UI [source][target] translating strings code [source][target] or the strings directly with the two languages, so I presume you would need to have all "common" strings as search keywords as well. On a side note, I'd be really interesting about your strategy to improve search targeting ! This is something I could need myself :)

    Well, I decided to become the world's greatest SEO expert. :-D Very long journey... anyway, the point is that, once you know the juicy keywords, it's pretty easy to optimize your website. The hard part is knowing the right keywords, and my problem is that I'm too biased to come up with keywords that people are searching for. This thread demonstrates it.

      Short version: assume you need to translate the UI of the software your company builds in more languages (French, German, Italian, whatever), what would you type in Google? What search refinements would you do, if any, after the first query? Long version: we're in the software localization industry and we're trying to refine our website for better targeting search engines, so knowing what people search for is very important. If you're kind enough to answer me, then I owe you a hug. :-D So far I've been getting pretty much always the same answers, which is both comforting and frightening because it means we're on the right track but competition is fierce... I hope this request does not upset anyone here. Thanks!

        Mmmh.. My problem is that the keywords people would use are pretty common (for instance for a real estate web site, you won't come out of the "sell buy house flat" aso...) so every website has the same registered keywords. And as you said, competition is fierce :)

            That's pretty normal. You need to build links pointing to your website to better rank in search results. Hint: links whose text contains the keyword(s) are better than those simply mentioning the product name.

                  I'd start out with "technical translations". Not because that's necessarily what it is, but because I can't think of anything closer.

                  Just like that old Carly Simon song... "You're so funny, You probably think this joke is about you" My Mu[sic] My Films My Windows Programs, etc.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                        Should I ever decide to no search for Darios services, I can always include an "-waterholepinch" in the search.
