Website Translation
Regardless of how a person feels about the immigration issue, there are
non-English speaking markets that we can reach with little additional expense.
The first and easiest step to reaching these markets is translating your
website. Making your website more accessible to people speaking other languages
may help your search rankings as well as open new markets.
If you would like to see what your site would look like after being translated
to other languages try the link below.
AltaVista
Babelfish Translation
Your site can be translated from English to twelve other languages. Text on
graphics are not translated.
Scroll down on our home page
and look for the AltaVista Babelfish Logo on the left margin, click on
one of the flags and a new window will open with the site translated to the
language you selected.
This feature can be added to your site in about 15 minutes, and your site can be
translated instantly in to eight languages. These new markets are constantly
expanding and may be a source for your expansion.
You can also use the AltaVista Babelfish Translation service to translate
emails from non-English speaking clients. |
Google Trends
Google has added another new service called
Google Trends. According to the Google Trends website,
"Google Trends is a Google Labs product, which means that
it's still in an early stage of development."
"Google Trends analyzes a portion of
Google web searches to compute how many searches have been
done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of
searches done on Google over time."
How does this impact you? The service could
be used to refine searches based on popular search terms but
more importantly it helps web masters define which search
terms are used and how often. This means that when we set up a
website, create keywords, descriptions and titles we will have
access to better information as to which search terms may be
more appropriate for your business website.
Why should you care? Because relevant
keywords, titles, descriptions and page content mean better
search engine placement. Better search engine placement
translates into more visitors etc.
Although in it's infancy, Google Trends
offers information that may help position your website so it
is easier for potential customers to find you.
Take "website design" and "web site design"
for example, both are used frequently, but which one is used
most often? Click here to
find out. Based on the graph "website design" is the clear
winner, now we know which term to use to attract more
visitors. This is a simplistic approach but a realistic one,
knowing how people search can provide substantial advantages.
We would like to welcome
