With this in mind, the need for businesses to talk to international customers in their own language can’t be overstated. Even though English is the most widely spoken second language, the fact remains that most consumers will search for products or services in their native tongue first.

So for any business looking to go global, the need to ‘think local’ means you should be aware of the multitude of cultural and linguistic complexities that you will face when entering foreign markets.

For example, the French in France and the French in Canada (Québéquois) is largely the same, but there are enough dialectal differences between the two forms of French to mean that distinct marketing strategies are essential when targeting each market.

By way of illustration, ‘weekend’ is simply ‘le weekend’ in France, but in Canadian French it is ‘fin de semaine’ (literally, ‘end of the week’). And ‘courriel’ is email in Canadian French – a contraction of ‘courrier électronique’ - but simply ‘email’ in France.

There are many such differences between the French dialects in France, Canada, Switzerland and Belgium which help to highlight the importance of properly localizing your services for each specific target market. The same can also be said for German (Germany)/Swiss German, Portuguese (Portugal)/Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish (Spain)/Latin American Spanish and, closer to home, US/UK English.

So assuming you intend to properly localize your website for international markets, there are a number of issues you must consider when optimizing the content so that you gain as high a position on Google as possible.

Firstly, there is the domain name. Your choice of name is entirely up to you, though you may want to consider something that is suitable for the country that you’re targeting – your brand name may work just as well abroad, but you are best using the services of a specialist translation/localization company who can research any potential negative connotations of your name in your target market.

Equally important is your choice of web host as the server they use should be located in your target country – Google considers the IP address of the server in its algorithms, so make sure you ask where their server is based before committing to using their services.

Then there is the issue of keywords. There is a strong argument that says you should NEVER translate keywords, simply because even a direct dictionary translation may not be what people use to search for a service or product locally. They may use colloquialisms, abbreviations or acronyms instead.

In the same way as you would use something like Google’s keyword tool when identifying the most popular industry keywords in English, you should thoroughly research the key search phrases that are incorporated into your new foreign language website too.

Localization and SEO should underpin any international online marketing strategy, as it will not only help ensure linguistic and cultural nuances don’t impede your entry into new markets, but also your visibility is maximized on foreign search engines.

Technology has made so many changes in the world.Now every work is computerized no doubt that technology has reduced the cost of labor.One of the most famous advantages of technology is the internet. Internet plays a vital role in offering convenient services to the people to their door steps. World Wide Web offers services from getting information to buying the product.

There are so many disadvantages related with internet like junk emails but this is one method of marketing the products and services to mass number of people. People used to send spam emails to people accounts by the help of social networking and bookmarking. Bookmarking is a very unique concept which comes after internet; bookmarking means that when a person saves a webpage as in favorites so this means book marking or tagging of the most important and interesting page. Bookmarking is one of the best ways to save your favorites. Social bookmarking is a quite different concept than the bookmarking as it means that when people saves the web pages in a personal folder and the other users can also see those and then they share those book marks and can add them in their own lists then it is typically known as social bookmarking.

However, there are numerous advantages of technology and internet but along with that there are millions of disadvantages as because of social bookmarking, people used to book mark their own websites and then with the help of social bookmarking get traffic of the users as these are the ways through which some of the genuine websites cannot get as traffic as they should have; in this way there are number of people cheating the other by bookmarking their own good or bad website. Social networking websites are playing an important role for the people who like to get high rank of their website and want more and more traffic on the website ,because social networking is giving access to others to look on people’s favorites.

Social book marking is some how a very interesting way to attract more and more customers towards your website; and this will help people to find more interesting sites to visit which one may not able to see without the help of social bookmarking. The voting system on the social bookmarking website can help in getting more importance for the website as more customers votes the website the more traffic should be assumed.

For internet marketers, the best way to market the product and services on the internet should be through the social bookmarking and this way more traffic of customers should be on the desired website. Social bookmarking facilitates loyal customers to the websites. Social Bookmarking and social networking both are the tactics to attract more customers towards a specific website.

You have a website that sells products or services. But how do you get Internet users to come to your website? The obvious answer to that question is marketing. But is marketing just about getting lots of people to become aware of your business, or is it about getting the ‘right’ kind of people to become aware of your business? If SEO and Internet marketing experts are to be believed, the RIGHT kind of people can make all the difference. After all, you need people who will place an order or make a purchase and not jaywalk through your website!

That’s why you need SEO target marketing! Target marketing not just increases efficiency; it also helps cut down on your advertising expenses. When you employ target marketing within your search engine optimization strategy, you are doing several things at the same time. You are concentrating various segments of your marketplace to attract targeted traffic and offer them unique opportunities they could be interested in. Here are some of the basic assumptions made when employing SEO target marketing:

Knowing that everyone may not be interested in placing an order or purchase your products/ services.

Knowing that Internet users almost always order/purchase product/service for 3 specific reasons:
To satisfy their basic needs
To solve their problems
To feel good or be happy

So the best practice would be to work out which of the above 3 reasons are satisfied by your offering prior to starting the SEO target marketing effort.

Knowing the ‘correct’ keyword phrases to use is very important. SEO target marketing works best when you have the specific keywords that describe your offering. So, finding the right keyword phrases is very important. For ex: if you have a handbag store in London, or Manchester, you should look for keywords that are specific to your area, because that’s the place from where your ACTUAL business is going to come from. Write copy that uses phrases such as London handbags etc, rather than just handbags. You can also use other unique identifiers that are popular in your niche. Search keyword tools for the term Handbags and find out terms that are used often; such as Quality, Cheap, Chanel, Gucci, Imitation, etc. These keywords generate massive amounts of traffic and you are simply letting that traffic go elsewhere.

Knowing that you need to write a copy that aims at attracting your targeted audience. If you’re selling shoes and promote certain brands, don’t write about shoes in general - write about different brands and types of shoes that you offer. This increases your websites relevancy score. Write in an easy to understand and interesting manner!

Knowing what your intended audience is all about! A survey or research can help you achieve this objective. Find out their economic standing, their Internet habits, and their shopping habits. Empathize with them to know how these people think and what they are interested in.

Give Them Incentive! Ultimately, everyone wants a deal. So figure out a way to make them feel good about buying from you. Say you sell shoes, throw in some free shoe freshener and/or free shipping. That is a unique benefit that really entices them to ACT NOW! If you are a lawyer - offer a free 30 minute consultation and also offer online resources that show customers you are the right person for the job.

Knowing who your competition is. Yes, this is one of the most important aspects of SEO target marketing. If you don’t know what you are up against, you can’t really know how to beat them. Find out how your competition is selling - then outsell them. Find out how your competition is ranking in the search engines - and out rank them!

For all of you who wish to drive targeted traffic to your website, the effectiveness of your target marketing for SEO campaign should be tested. Look over the Internet for free analytical tools that can help you monitor your traffic and conversion rates. A well-thought out SEO target marketing campaign should have a bounce rate of below 55% for traffic.

If you’ve your personal small business, it is crucial to determine precisely who you will be selling your products or services to. After all, you probably do not hold the time or the money to market to everybody. And even if you do have, it is not wise.

You will need to choose what is known as a “target audience.” This is a classifiable group of folks you consider will be the better candidates for your business sector.

But for a lot of small business sectors proprietors, specifying their stress to one basic group of people can be a difficult job. They want to facilitate everybody — and very often their merchandise or service could facilitate a variety of clients.

It also offends human nature to constrict your focus in order to develop a business sector. Common sense appears to state us if we wish to develop our business big, we require to attract to a lot more persons. In fact the inverse is correct. When we specify our focus to a special group of people we turn into an expert in resolving their specific problems. We get to recognize them very comfortably and we can formulate more products and services to meet their demands.

So how do you determine who to market to?

Following are five tips:

1) Conceive the natures of people who can virtually get benefit from what you’ve are offering.

2) Conceive about who you would be most pleased facilitating, or working with.

3) Think about the type of persons who will be most effortless to attract, And who will be most acceptant of what you are marketing. These will be folks who acknowledge they have the problem you can resolve and are searching a solution.

4) Know that only because you choose a specific group of people to concentrate your marketing on, doesn’t signify you can not facilitate other people who might come to you. It just means you are becoming focused on your active selling campaigns on the target group you choose.

5) Finally, do not over-think it. Listen to your instinctive feeling, select a group you sense you can genuinely help and go along with the development of your selling program. Marketing is a changeable operation. The significant matter is to begin. You can always fine-tune your audience and your program afterwards as you discover more.
