Hi,
I have a goal of trying to take some articles I've written - convert them to spanish - create blogger blogs with spanish keywords in the domain - which then lead people to a spanish sales page for a product - my goal is to get on the first page of google for as many spanish keywords as I can - will submitting rss feeds for these spanish page urls to the rss directories work just the same to get ranked for spanish keywords as everything does in english? And will using social bookmarking sites work for the same purpose of building backlinks for these same pages?

Or are there special bookmarking sites or rss directories that you need to use for another language?

Also, I was wondering, if I did get rankings for certain keywords in spanish, would that only be like in the USA, or would those rankings be there for visitors in spanish speaking countries as well? I'm confused as to how all that works.

Any feedback on this is appreciated.

    I am not a SEO expert so you are probably not going to like my answer. I would have thought that all things being equal, the ranking system in google across all language platforms would be the same. Unless of course, spanish serachers don't care too much about things like relevance etc. My non-expert advice would be to look at what allows for good rankings in English sites and just apply the same rules. You know, meta tags etc.

    Google knows when a page is in Spanish and when it's not.

    I currently have my computer set to Spanish, and I'm located in Colombia, so I can tell you my personal experience. It's this: Google works exactly the same in the Spanish language as it does in English.

    Google knows when you search in Spanish. In fact, most of my English searches bring up Spanish results first, since all my preferences indicate I want Spanish results.

    Do regular SEO on your Spanish language pages and you'll be fine.

      I have several websites on spanish and I make money with all of them, but SEO its hard.

      To build incoming links you will find that are just a few article directories and none as ezine articles, the rss services are just a few, there are less rss feeds services too, and the webmasters dont link easily to other websites.

      Forgot Digg and other social websites because just a few use it, and nobodys make a digg for you no matter you article was brilliant.

      So my main point to SEO its adding good content, but I never have the same PR ranks as on english.

        As relevancy is king for Google, they display ALWAYS IP related results first.

        What this means is that a page in Spanish will rank better if hosted in Spain, when a Google user will perform a search in Spain.

        If the exact same page with the same off page SEO would be hosted in the US, it would rank lower.

        Google's attempt to always display local results first.

        For them, the best search results are the ones which help the fastest way, in any respect. So a "italian restaurant" around the corner is more relevant then the best one in a other state or country.

        So ranking high for any keyword is harder if you are not hosting IN the market. Off course this has as well something to do with your competition. If there are virtually no SEO'd competitors, then you have a chance.

        Do a test, as far as I know the wordpress.com Blogs tend to rank very fast and high (although I don't use them). Do a WP Blog for a keyword and see what's happen.

        If you can rank high and fast for the KW, then a optimized site incl. domain name etc. will make it as well.
