I'm marketing a site that sells products worldwide from the UK and need some advice on where to look for links from foreign sites, in particular italy, france, germany, spain and other parts of europe... ive tried performing google searches with the translated terms +"directory" but the pickings aren't great. thanks m.
You have to investigate every country separately. In some countries SEO is not so popular as in other. For example in Poland SEO is a huge business with thousands of directories, presell pages and other forms of link developent, while in Spain SEO is much less intensive. Also the language issues could be a problem, if you would like to get good links for free.
