    Hi there, fellow SEO gurus! :D

    It has just so happened that I have been 'blessed' with a project to do some serious SEO for websites in various foreign languages. The thing is that our client is a large international company with specific websites for US, UK (no problem here), German, Italian, Spanish etc. markets.

    I would certainly be able to do some serious SEO for websites in English (a good article distribution system, blog commenting, link exchanges, social networks, 'viral' campaigns, ...), but I have no idea how to start a SEO project for other languages.

    Are there article directories and such in Spanish, Italian, German, ... language? What other approaches can I use for those websites?

    Thank you very much in advance,

    yours truly ;)

    I have the same problem with Spanish..
    I found the following info - maybe it will be helpful a bit:
    The purchasing power of U.S. Hispanics is growing faster than all other ethnic segments; it is currently more than $750 billion and will exceed $1 trillion by 2010
    While the U.S. Hispanic market is just 2 percent of the total search market worldwide, they are growing by 5 percent year over year
    Search engines used by U.S. Hispanics: Google: 87%; Yahoo! Search: 68%; MSN Search: 40%; Ask Jeeves: 32%; Altavista: 12%; Lycos Search: 11%; Other: 7%
    U.S. Hispanics are comfortable performing searches in both English and Spanish
    Three countries in Latin America –Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina –have search levels per user almost double that of the U.S.
    While the global search share is still small (approx. 7%), Latin American search growth is at 16%, second only to the Middle East
