Well... there's approximately 5 million people in the world who speak finnish..and well over a billion who atleast understand english to some extent. That's why *I* do my stuff mostly in english.

Yes, but my point is that there may be 200X as many English speakers as Finnish speakers, but if there are more than 200X as many people pushing English language sites as there are pushing Finnish sites, then there must be more money to be made in Finnish.

I read your posts yesterday & it clicked in that if you didn't tell me that English was not your native language, I wouldn't have known. So I don;t think you have too much to be worried about

I can understand why someone might think that - and why in some cases it might be true - but I know on my side of things, that has nothing to do with it. Hell, I'm very good friends with 20 or so people that run Link Lists that I am in direct competition with. I also trade links with most of these people

The adult business has never really been about rivals - webmasters trade links with their "rivals", sponsors have links/consoles/ezclicks with "rivals", submitters send their sites/galleries to a list of "rivals", etc.

I've said this a million times, but it does fit in with this thread:

I market my sites towards English speaking surfers, because that is my native language. The message board I run is geared towards English speaking webmasters, because that is my native language.

I do not post on (insert non-English language here) boards because I do not speak that language. I do not market to (insert non-English language here) surfers because I do not speak that language.

I took 3 years of Spanish in High School - this does not qualify me to market to Spanish speaking surfers

I know that Mateusz is on vacation, but I'd be interested to hear from him as well as Fonz on this subject, because those are 2 webmasters that are here on a daily basis & while their native language is not English, if I wasn't told (or had to listen to a Cheeto covered Fonz in Miami ) I'd have probably never known it.
