Yeah, and a year ago people running gambolling sites thought it was absurd in their area too. Now look how many are filing for bankruptcy.

Actually that is a good example of what I was saying. A lot of European companies jumped on the 'online casino' bandwagon, and hit the American market because it was the biggest. Now most of them have gone from multi million dollar profits to bankrupt almost over night, and those that have survived are those that concentrated mostly on their own country.

And an even more frightening point for European webmasters: Some of the Europeans who ran casino sites aimed at American customers are fighting extradition proceedings, and will probably end up spending time in American jails. Take Licker4U's post as a warning. As far as I am aware his opinion is the rule, not the exception, most American webmasters are proudly refusing to believe the signs. In America they still respect their politicians (even when they know they are incompetent crooked assholes), they will not put up a fight until it is too late.

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.
