Yeah ssshhh don’t tell anyone about that market yet, keep it to yourself

Seriously though, they’re getting a good bit of traffic for polish phrases at the minute. But they can back it up too with a proper service, since they have a Polish solicitor working with them. So it’s working out nicely for them.

that particular market is as yet virtually untapped… well done on getting in there.

I doubt they can take back this tool – it was created primarily for large global coporates, and they would be quite unhappy if it was taken away methinks.

And I’m sure they have considered by whom and how the tool should be used. If your site isn’t trusted I doubt using the tool will work. Not tested obviously.

I’ve seen it in action on a global level and it does work. Quite nicely actually. But only in ‘pages from X’ searches. Didn’t notice much impact in google.ccTLD searches…

You need to look at it from Google’s point of view. When you try to use the geo-tool in Google and you already have say a .ie domain name, you are automatically associated with Ireland as your geographic location. However, with a .com, .net etc, you are not. When they see the abuse that I believe their tool opens this up to, the first thing that will go is the tool!

I never suggested language and geo targeting were the same thing. That’s exactly what I was trying to point out.

Because of the publicity geotargeting is getting, people are looking at it as a solution to problems that it is not made to solve. That’s the point of this article.

But it’s important to separate language rom geo-targeting I think. Thye are different beast, and the geotargeting tool is not for seeting language.
