    Hi guys,

    We have been asked to research keywords in 5 different countries, Australia, India, South Korea, Brazil, Singapore (4 different languages inc. Portuguese, Korean, English, Indian).

    Being that I have never conducted keyword research outside of English, I thought maybe you guys could:

    1. Point me in the direction of consultants/freelancers who can research terms in those languages.

    2. Suggest tips one should bear in mind when designing an SEO strategy for multi-national websites (such as the different SE's used in countries and cultural-behavioral differences)

    Any articles, guides, tools etc. that can help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

        I definitely agree with James regarding native speakers. I don't think separate TLD's should always be used though - check my post here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/multiple-country-site-versions-and-hosting

          My advice from working in similar project is to use native speakers, do not ever trust language converters online. Usually what we do is hire consultants to work in house, have tested a few companies yet usually better results come via internal work.

          I have designed a few large scale SEO strategies, really you need to work with the client to see what they require.

          A good strategy is:

          1. If you have the money use seperate tlds for each area (also important to use language specific domains), use seprate content for each area made by local copy writers. This strategy will work best for ranking on a global stage. Ive tested it numerous times 😃

          2. If you are strapped for cash use sub folders on the domain for locations, benefit of this is that you can transfer the link juice to the sub folders.

          3. I would not advise clients to use sub domains for a international marketing camapgin, I have seen first hand the damage they can make, they do not even rank in global serps, they do not pass link juice as Google treats them as a seprate domain.

            Setting up a remote business with their Google Business Account

            Hi all, I have a client who operates a remote business and I need to get her Google business/ brand account set up. She doesn't want it listed under her home address (for obvious reasons) but that is where her business is based out of. Apart from getting a PO box and listing her business under that for Google, does anybody know of any other options or best practices? Thanks!

            Backlink From Different Language Sites Will Spoil My Ranking?

            Hi there! Excited to joining this community. The main question is that if I get backlinks from different language sites then that backlink will be worthy or non-worthy in the eye of search engine? I know if I target international market by presenting my content in different languages then of course it will be worthwhile for me. But what will be happened if I do not represent content in different languages on my site but get the backlines from other language sites such as: Chinese, Russian or any other? Also I have seen many sites which are getting backlinks from different language sites and they are just getting high authority. Is there any expert?

            What are the most effective SEO methods for online communities and forums?

            My company has a global online community of over 350,000+ members.  We allow users to submit articles revolving around the scrum and agile framework.  Sometimes the submissions become overwhelming and I am curious if there is anyone out there who may have experience with this same scenario. I don't want to place meta data on every single article that comes in, because I don't have the resources nor time to optimize each and every article.  Does anyone have techniques or suggestions in regards to either leaving the meta data untouched or customizing each individual piece? Any thoughts or ideas will be extremely helpful. Thanks

            Where can I get all of the slides from Mozcon '13? I attended.

            I heard several people on the Moz team and on the Speaker list mention that the slides would be available after the conference.  Does anyone know where I can find them?  Thanks!

            Will the Mozcon DVDs be available for sale?

            I'd love LOVE to get out there for the real deal (and a Roger the Robot figure), but the budget isn't there.  Any chance the DVDs will go on sale after the conference?
