I had mentioned ten days or so since the last post here that I was working on a MASSIVE translation of one of my travel websites into Portuguese. I know that sounds a little odd, but the fact is that the folks in Brazil, to which it is aimed at, are great ones to use the Internet.
Well, I finished the site today, but that's not to say I was finished with the project! Far from it.
The finished site is no good if folks can't find it, and that's where SEO comes into play. SEO means, Search Engine Optimization. That's what I do to entice search engines to index it so folks looking for it can find it.
First, I have 30 or so sites in my personal arsenal, so I placed links back to Agencia-de-Turismo.com on each of those sites. The hope and prayer is that when the search engines graze around on those sites, they'll also find their way to the target, Agencia-de-Turismo.com.
The next thing I did was to write a couple of my world famous Persuasive Essay Topics articles with embedded links. The articles will be rewritten to produce ten unique copies, and then farmed out to folks needing content. After all is said and done, with luck, the articles will appear on between 50 and 100 websites...all with links pointint back to the site.
Lastly, I took out some Google advertising. This doesn't help the SEO, but it gives the site a quick introduction to a world thirsty for travel articles in Portuguese. Also, advertising to foreign audiences is a good deal cheaper than going for U.S. traffic.
Of course, this is only the barest description of what it takes to take a website global, because there is a ton more stuff, but it gives an idea of what's involved.
The exciting fact is that to get your business seen here locally is a great deal easier, particularly with the power of GetCalhoun.com at your command. But, there is an art to it, and as far as search engine placement in Alabama goes, I confess, haltingly, and with much umbleness, I AM YOUR Picasso.
