Advice on SEO for Chinese Website in China
-
Hey folks,
I am a little out of my depth here because I have never SEO'd a website that is not in English - and especially in China.
I have a few questions that I hope someone can help with?
-
What are the primary SE's in China
-
Are there any specifics with regards Keyword Research
-
Are there any specifics around SEO techniques and climbing up the SERPs?
I know I don't speak Chinese but I will need to be advising.
Thanks,
Andy

Yes, that is correct Robert - it is a global site but we must get this into Baidu as well.
Thanks,
Andy

One thing here is more around copyright, etc. I was assuming the content you were transferring to Chinese was from a site your client had or you had. If that is so, it is not a problem.
-
I could be wrong on this, and not really related to what I am doing, but I was under the impression that Google knew if content was scraped and then just translated?
Happy to be corrected on this though
Cheers,
Andy

There won't be any problem as it is a different language. Even if you were doing it in Google, there is no problem with duplicate content in two different languages. Otherwise we would have to use totally different content on English/Spanish sites in TX.
-
OK because we really don't worry about Google in China, can you foresee any problems in taking content from the UK / US site and just copying it straight to the .cn site?
-
I am lucky that one of the people working with us is a Chinese national and she is already providing content.
I shall have a look at the link you gave me as well now - thank you Robert. It is exciting and I can't wait to look into this more.
Regards,
Andy

iNet,
In answer to number 1, there is one giant in China and that is Baidu. Luckily,there are a lot of articles on SEO and Baidu (here is one 8 tips on Baidu and SEO). Also, there are articles on Search Engine Land, etc. so you should be good to go there.
As to number two and three, since I have no direct experience, I would have to refer you to the above.
We are handling a couple of sites in South America and working on an African site. The one cautionary would be that the only way to work with another language is to have a true language pro. So, you have to have someone who works professionally with translation of Chinese for mainland China on a regular basis. I would personally look for someone who has lived there or lives there now that already has clients or a body of work.
Sounds quite exciting, good luck.

SEO and Conversions from a C-Level perspective
Hi guys! Do you have any suggestion about articles about how to work with conversions and SEO from a C-level perspective? I know it is very open question, but there might be articles like (https://moz.com/ugc/how-can-pr-seo-and-ceo-people-work-together-for-link-building) that are great and written on this subject. Could you please share if you have any examples? I'm thinking for these perspectives: What knowledge and insight does a management team need to take control and drive the SEO and CRO related work (from a executive level)? How do the management team connect business strategy and goals with the SEO and CRO area? Have a great day!

Lead generation advice - UK market
Hi I am planning on setting up a lead generation website in a sector I know well and have a domain registered although its only a few weeks old. I am looking for some insight and advice please to see it its worth doing. For example there are lots of payday loan (not my niche btw) lead gen sites in the UK at the moment but what do all of these sites do with all the leads they generate - who buys them and for what cost per lead? I have done affiliate marketing in the past, but how does the lead gen process work. Do you sign up with a lead gen affiliate style network that buys the leads generated off your website. Or do you have to sell these leads on yourself? If so where do you sell them. I plan tobe operating in the UK

Video Keno gambling SEO client !? Do I want em?
I have a guy who wants SEO help. Actually he owns several companies and is willing to put my ad before all the movies in a local theater plus an ad AND a Q&A section about SEO and Internet marketing in a small newspaper he mails to 7k businesses every month in exchange for my help. While I am excited about the exposure and I'm sure it would result in some business I'm not excited about touching anything related to gambling at ALL. Am I right in thinking this or should I treat it like just another client? He has a site where he teaches people how to win at video keno and sells this info packet. Porn and gambling. Everything I have read and heard is geared towards sites like this NOT coming up in search engines. Thoughts? Thanks and have an AWESOME week! Matthew

Conversion optimization with Optimizely, impact on SEO
I am looking into signing up with www.optimizely.com for conversion testing. They put scripting on my site which will then redirect half of my site visitors to an alternate home page. The site I want to test on is ranking quite well with Google and I do not want to hurt my rankings. And with this set up,what Google will think is my home page is not and so I am essentially sending visitors to a different page than Google reads as my home page in source code. So, my concern is whether this will have a negative impact on my SEO rankings to redirect 50% of site visitors to a different page using this testing tool? I would use Google Web Site Optimizer, but many of my sites are in Wordpress and it seems that Wordpress and web site optimizer are not so compatible. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you, Robert
