If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English

I'm starting to become a thread spammer here lol
I did have french at school, for 3 years, but that's a long time ago.... Wouldn't even think of marketing anything in french, simply because my spelling and grammar would make everyone close my site.
If you don't know a language, it's silly trying to compete with the ones who do.
But, to go from there to say that everyone should be marketing in their own language..... that's a big step. As long as I can look at what I've made and tell myself it looks good, the spelling included, that's all I aim for.

Phew, guess I'll try submitting freesites to Link-O-Rama then, with the language issue out of the way, it just comes down to my missing ability to build those sites

I have actually spent four hours now, checking keywords for my sites..
And I tried to find good sex-related keywords in my own language.....
Think the average search was 200 in January, with 10000 matches on google... For the phrase "free sex pic"/"free sex picture" there were 0 people searching for it, and 69000 matches.....
Nawww, think I'll drop that for now lol, it's easier for me to adapt to english than it would be to change the way people here actually use the net.
So, for me, the problem would be too low demand for what I'm offering.

But, found plenty of great keywords to use in english, with only 20-80 K hits on google (yeah, people do actually search for those words and phrases, many of them did have twice as many searches in January as there are matches on google for them)
As long as I try do things the smart way, and not go for the overused words, I guess my SE traffic will be better with my pages written in english than in my native tounge.

Gotta jump out of this thread now.
