You don’t need to go to trouble of new domain names, new hosting accounts –just put them on same server as your current site. Next, you may want to include links from your homepage – perhaps in form of flags relating to language – to channel foreign language surfers who inadvertently end up on English language site.

Once you have your translated your website, you must of course promote it. Register it with search engines and directories in appropriate countries. You can find listings of search engines and directories, country by country, at http://www.searchenginecolussus.com . If you have an international domain (such as .com), you shouldn’t have to much trouble registering, though you may come across some that insist you are registered in that country. If so, you will need to weigh up how important that search engine is, against potential number of surfers for that country/language. If it’s too big to ignore, then you can register a domain for that country, and set up a separate website.

1.Identify countries suitable for your business, that you would like to tap into – and find out their native tongue. 2.Translate your website, using local translators, software or online services. 3.Have someone check translation 4.Place links on you homepage, showing you have other language options. 5.Promote your website in local countries, through directories, search engines etc.

There you have it. As competition increases in English speaking world, you now have opportunity to inexpensively access fresh markets with tens of millions of potential customers. Food for thought!

Bargainers are fiercely devoted to one aspect of Internet: quest for deals. Though they represent only 8% of active online users and spend less time online than average user, they represent 52% of eBay visitors.

Routiners and Sportsters go online primarily for content. Only half of Routiners have made purchases online, and just 6% have made five or more online purchases. They visit fewer domains (typically news and financial sites), but spend almost twice as much time per page as average users.

Routiners want superior content and sense they are getting "something special." Sportsters (just 4% of active online users) act much like Routiners, but focus on sports and entertainment sites. They spend just 7.1 hours online each month (versus a 9.8 average), and are drawn to fresh, colorful and interactive sites. End of report. Thank you jayde. I think your readers who are marketers, will gain some added knowledge of who is visiting their websites.

Personally, I quit website selling game some time ago. To much of a good thing gone sour. I realized that giant of all giants of internet business is email. The newest email services now pay their clients to send and receive regular daily email. Makes for a very "sticky" site. Anyone interested in a web-based free email service that pays you cash just for doing your email thing? See for yourself how much money you "lose" everyday by using someone else's free service.
