Does Language Mather

does language mather for pagerank or SE Positions;


lets say i got a dutch site and an english one, should I link these?

 

It mathers if your site is full of typos - it can affect rankings.

I think you mean matter.

 

If google has a regional search for your country / region then serps may be different depending on where people search.

 

Localisation for google works in three ways ,

the language
the domain
where the webserver is located (ip nr country lookup)

for linking it is not important (yet) but it will influence if the site will rank well in a localised google like google.nl

 

I have a dutch site as well. Can it rank high on google.nl when almost all the IBL's are from english sites?

 

if you want to rank well on google.nl you need a .nl domain
or a .com/.net/org on a webserver with a dutch ip nr
and all the other SEO google ranking stuff ...

You can lookup ip country origin for europe at
http://www.ripe.net , just put the ip in the whois search box,
you will see the info on the provider and the country of origin

 

thanks all!!! great answers, and sorry for typos, got a broken shoulder so typing with diff hand

 

haha "it can affect rankings
affect - verb
effect - noun.

sorry couldn't resist.

Klaas, sorry to hear you have a broken shoulder, hope you get better soon.

LOL not meaning to pick on you. I just couldn't resist

 

die "klote engelsen" (grapje) hebben weer geen fluit respect voor het feit dat we tenminste moeite doen om engels te schrijven

In short : Dio I Hope your dutch is as good as his english

LOL not meaning to pick on you. I just couldn't resist

 

Hey - my Dutch is flawless - I learnt it all from porn flicks.
