Yandex Launches Online Translation Service for Russian and Ukrainian

yandex-translate

We all have something to say about Google Translate. Usually we complain that it’s not good enough. Or we like it, because it does help us get started. What we do know is that we shouldn’t use it to actually translate a website.

One of the languages which Google has issues with is Russian. That is one of the reasons why Yandex is bigger and better in Russia. Now Yandex is making use of that extra knowledge by launching a Google Translate competitor for the languages Google is struggling with: Russian and Ukrainian. (more…)

International Search Summit keeps expanding in cooperation with SMX

ISS-intro

One event which has been growing rapidly is the International Search Summit (ISS). The conference originally started of in London but it has been organized in both London, Berlin and Seattle in the past few years. And the organization keeps on expanding. In 2011 they are now joining forces with SMX to give that little extra touch to the conferences. International search has been very much underrated in the big search events. With the combination between ISS and SMX both will win. ISS will reach the bigger audience and SMX will get that valuable information from the International scene.

The International Search Summit is a conference series dedicated to international and multilingual search marketing and brings together some of the leading search marketing experts from around the globe. Conceived and hosted by multilingual web marketing agency WebCertain, it has been running since 2008 and from 2011 WebCertain is partnering with SMX to run the Summit at SMX events across Europe and North America.

The show will this year be organized in San José, Munich, London, Seattle and New York. (more…)

SEO 101: the ranking of “site:website.com” results

site_www.stateofsearch

One thing which many SEO’s tend to do is a search on site:website.com (for example on this site) within Google to see which pages are indexed by Google. It can give you a nice insight in how many pages are indexed and if there are any pages indexed you wouldn’t want to be there. Combined with a keyword you can also see which pages are ranking for that specific keyword. It can also help with determining if your titles and descriptions are right (as you can see I have some work to do).

If you do that search, you will get a list of pages indexed by Google. But how are those pages ranked? Why are they placed in that order? This was the question sent in to Google Webmasterhelp and answered by Matt Cutts. It turns out there are several reasons for why a page is placed in the rankings: (more…)
