This may be a stupid question to be asking, but I figured you guys would be the ones to ask. (I know I just created my account, and I may be a "noob"... but I'm a regular user/viewer of the site)
Anyways.
I'm currently working on a project for a realtor that has many properties based out of mexico, costa rica, and even stuff right here in the US. She wants something to submit to not only the search engines in the america's but also others as well. Does google advertise world wide just by simply being up there? Or is there a special procedure you have to go through to make sure its advertised world wide. Do you have any tips for optimizing this different than I already am?
Also, another "newbie" question, but are browsers responsible for 'translation' or is that something I have to worry about as well?
This is a very interesting client, and has definitely helped be out quite a bit with many many things.
I think that once something is indexed by Google it's visible throughout the web. Or are you talking about advertising as in adsense advertising?
Google has, or will have, a translation api that should be capable of automatically translating languages like spanish, german, frenc, russian and chinese.
