29. IMPORTANT Things to Remember!
âą To target a language using only subdirectories do not use geographic
targeting
âą You can target a language with both subdomains and subdirectories but if
you have a top-level TLD (.com) use subdirectories versus subdomains.
âą You can use Google geographical targeting on subdomains and
subdirectories
âą Your title should be in the native language and/or use regional slang terms
where they apply.
âą Use language-based meta tags whenever targeting language-based
searches
âą Host subdomains that are for geographical targeting in the target region
âą When you implement the subdomain strategy, link to it from the original
website
âą Create new sitemaps for each subdomain
âą When creating meta tags and content be sure to use native slang.
âą Get back links from same TLD's (get a .nl link to your .nl site in the native
language)
âą If you have a TLD (like .nl or .de) do not use geographical targeting. These
domains are already associated with its designated region

30. Social Bookmarking
After extensive testing over the past 3 years as well as
watching and anticipating what Google will resort to versus
links, I firmly believe, and have proof, that Social Bookmarking
will become a big part of Googleâs refined algorithm.

Using Geotargeting for Language and Regional Targeting
The various ways that people search and the results the search engines are delivering are evolving rapidly. Smarter queries and more complex algorithms mean that you
need to use various techniques to be sure you are showing up in the results. Local search, advanced search, regional search and language-based searches are some of the
filters an end-user or a search engine can use in determining who shows up, when they show up and where they show up.Geotargeting is a tool Google has refined and one that you can manipulate to a point in order to increase saturation in any search and in any market.
Beyond the obvious on-page considerations, different searches will deliver (in most cases) a different set of results.
GEOTARGETING IS WHEN YOU TARGET MULTIPLE REGIONS USING SUBDOMAINS AND TARGET MULTIPLE LANGUAGES USING SUBDIRECTORIES AND LANGUAGE BASED META TAGS AND TITLES
What you need to consider are; 1 .Your target market?
2. If you need language based subdomains or subdirectories?
3. Should you move hosting as well?
4. Cost of translation
5. Can I afford to do it all?
Thats fairly easy to establish
THIS SS SHOWS REGINALLY BASED TRAFFIC NUMBERS

So if you wanted to see what city, county, country or region had the most activity for a particular search term, this tool does that &#x2013; and more! It can add delimiters such as time frames, and will also compare regions, compare related keywords and any mix of the above 3 filters. Then it will graph them all for you as well for a clear look. One of my favourite accessories that Google Insights has is that it will monitor the sector for related kw&#x2019;s that have significantly increased search volume &#x2013; they call them Breakout Terms and you can have these delivered to your iGoogle desktop as well. I can&#x2019;t tell you how helpful this is when you are in a highly competitive field trying to find niche or long tail terms to target and get the jump on the big guys. Once we identify these terms we then create pages for them and add them to a silo. So for instance if &#x201C;Million Dollar Bingo Game&#x201D; is a breakout term being searched enough to draw a &#x201C;Breakout Term&#x201D; notification from Insights, we&#x2019;ll build a page for it using all the steps mentioned above, add it to a relevant silo, bleed PR to it using no follows, and suddenly we are ranking very well.
TIP &#x2013; We also use the upgraded version of Domain Tools much in the same way. We monitor for our kw (e.g. Casinos). Anytime a domain is purchased with that kw in it we get an email. When we see that all the TLD&#x2019;s (Top Level Domains like .com, .net and .org) are all purchased at the same time, we know some VC out there is paying to buy them up in expectation of a future site launch. Posh Bingo is a great recent example. We received email notification from Domain Tools, put an Alert on the term, and then watched Insights for a breakout alert. (We monitored the URL as well for launch)
XENU &#x2013; crawls your website and identifies errors, link structure, page size, external links and many other things that are important to the health of your site
SEO Spyglass &#x2013; Gives you a detailed report of your own or a competitors back links and ranks them using important factors like follow-no follow, Page Rank, and other factors. You can even import your Google WMC exported BL report and see if any of the back links to your site are potentially hazardous.

Now those my friends arepretty significant stats!
This is the reasoning behind Google buying Applied Semantics years ago and their more recent claims of gradually combining their current results with Universal results and Latent Semantic Analysis. Doesn&#x2019;t it all make sense?
&#xA0;
You take the phrases people search, look at the CTR and time on-site versus the results hierarchy, run them through a semantics formula for related terms, then pool the terms in relevant silos. Factor in back links and semantic associations and you&#x2019;ll probably have a pretty good start to a less-engineered set of search results.
&#xA0;
Well, that&#x2019;s a sloppy example but you see what I&#x2019;m getting at.
&#xA0;
Long tail and niche terms aren&#x2019;t just important to target for the low-hanging, high-converting traffic, it&#x2019;s crucial in content and back link anchor text, as well as SBM because Google doesn&#x2019;t want to be &#x201C;gamed&#x201D; or their result manipulated by guys/gals like you and I. They want related content from related sites; not a bunch of Affiliate portals, and without the best content, laid out in the best way, things are set to get a bit harder for anyone to rank well if you&#x2019;re not an Operator or big name brand.
&#xA0;
So how do you identify these LT phrases? For real-time I use HitTail. For building a data base for mySQL use I prefer raw log files. Other options are Shoemoney&#x2019;s kw tool, WordTracker, or even Google&#x2019;s keyword tool along with Shoemoney&#x2019;s kw tool. There are also tools like IBP that will scrape your competitors sites and export an excel file to your desktop to play around with (like adding your city or region or brand). Many of these techniques I use whilst building PPC (Pay Per Click) accounts. Just be sure that you create silos with your kw strings and that you don&#x2019;t link to multiple pages using closely related keywords or Google may consider them to be too closely related and not index one or split the value between the two pages. Using individual page titles and meta descriptions, along with non-duplicated content, then some back links and SBM should take care of this.
&#xA0;
I mentioned this once before; go after the low-hanging fruit. It converts better.
I know I mentioned 25% of all search queries have never been searched before.
Well this one is just as good; 60%+ of all conversions come from niche and long tail terms.
