What is the best way to take my current site and get it ranked in Mexico? Do I create a new site for this purpose or can I use the US one to rank?

I'm lost

    I like to create a subdomain of the existing site translated into spanish. It is usually not an exact mirror site because your Mexican visitors may not need the same user experience as a your US visitors. Its also important to have a native speaker (or close to it) translate your content. A google translate plugin is quick and easy, but to your visitors it will look like a robot translated it, and will not look natural.

    And obviously some geographical seo needs to be done on the spanishside of the site if you're shooting for mexico. Moz has some good blogs on international SEO.

      You need a partner to help you with the translation and 411 on popular sites to guest post and drop links on. Unless you're fluent..and if you are...pm me...lol

        A site in spanish would not target mexico, as there are other countries that
        speak spanish, not just mexico. I have sites in english and get visitors from
        virtually every country that is above the stone age. I saw nowhere that the OP
        needs a site in spanish, needs to hire a translator, or other such rot.

        Obviously, if the chap is targetting mexico, it goes without saying...
        Or maybe he's going for english speakers only...

        First thing you need is a site hosted in mexico.

        Having a host in mexico might be the most important step.

        But you do say your current site. If you are not willing to host the site in
        mexico, or get a .mx, you are left to the winds of the internet for anyone in
        mexico.

        If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    I recommend using a subdomain or a domain with Mexico extension.
