Part of being in business is worrying about one's rivals, no matter their language. It would be ignorant not to. But that has nothing to do with the question. (I don't consider anyone who can barely write the language to be my rival.) The issue at hand is why not spend one's efforts promoting pornography in one's mother language? Why aren't MORE non-English speaking webmasters building traffic in their language(s) and developing a wider range of secure payment methods which can be used by those who don't have credit cards?

Years ago I paid a French couple in Quebec to build 100 basic AVS sites for me in French, My wife who is French checked them out and said they were correct in pretty much every French dialect and there are a few of them.
They did OK, the AVS I was dealing with had a French tour which was written in Parisian French which is different in some ways from Quebec French, and not very well written.
The experiment paid for itself over the course of a year, but barely. I promoted a few on French SE's and a couple of French LL's but didn't get much traffic.
I did a couple of Latina sites for the same AVS in English though and promoted on Spanish LL's and SE's and had better results. I think their Spanish tour option made the difference.
I won't mention the AVS's name because they are a bunch of thieving scumbags who buggered off to Panama. Nobody else had multilingual tours so I've never tried it since.
