Does anyone have experience with optimizing for Google.co.th (Thailand) in English or maybe Thai? Please provide the best resources for links and how to SEO for Thailand Google users. We are gonna start with sales in Bangkok next month and wondering if anyone wants to share experience!
I don't see any special with it comes to other country/local, might be regarding to language is good factor, target local language translation there.
There is no niche yet as we are not optimizing yet for any client. We start with sales in january. But of course we are optimizing our own website (which is only translated from Dutch to English for about 15% now) at www. opmaxthailand .com
Hi , in my humble opinion , the trend of GG search is more localized and personalised , as said by Matts . if you like to do business in any country , everything have to be in that country , said the server , IP location , user location , backlinks pool etc. have to be in that region . The players in Thailand is just one-tenth or less of US and more than 80% happy if the content is in Thai, you can dominate the market easily if you can make everything in Thai , but like Matt said , GG send you the future customers and you have to make them loyal customers ,well , if not it's just like the useless SEO and you loss that fishes everyday. It's depend on what's your niche and your target .
hi kijakarn, thanks so much for your additional information. I totally agree. For our website opmaxthailand.com we are hosting in Thailand too Do you know of any good Thai websites for getting easy links? Maybe sites like digg.com, mixx.com, propeller.com for social-media too, but i would understand it if Thai doesnt have their own social-media websites yet. Very curious to your answer! PS: Is there a way for a 'farang' to get a Thai translation? Any services? My girlfriend is Thai but she is there for sales and not translations
