Web and Blog Translator

May 17, 2006 · Filed Under Web Application · Comment 

There is over 65% of web users speaking a language other than English, which means that bloggers like us are targeting only 35% of the web user. The market share for English sites and blogs are getting smaller every year, and that is something bloggers like us should be worry about.

Fear not, there is various tools that provide the means of translating websites with English content to another language, its a very useful tool but sad to say that its not accurate. Language is like art, created by man and it can’t be translate from words to words. Anyway, its better to have something than nothing. The list :

Yahoo / Astalavista Babelfish
Google Translator
SDL International

Yahoo Systran Translation can convert English content pages to Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Greek, Japanese, Korean Portuguese and Russian. If you happen to have a steady traffic from countries that speaks language other than english, this is the closest solution you can find. Currently GeckoandFly.com is considering providing such a feature.

Blogger Survey - Talk To Us

May 16, 2006 · Filed Under Blogging · 1 Comment 

Blogger.com are conducting a survey, they are collecting information about the user. After completing the survey there is a small little empty box that allows the user to drop their suggestion.

If you’re a blogger.com user, I would suggest that Blogger include the Categories or Tags feature into blogspot, or the ability for people to code plugins for Blogspot. If security is the main concern, it can be resolve by allowing to select a list of plugins made available by default - no installation and uploading, it comes by default. That would be nice.

Google Trends

This is the latest Tool from Google, and if you are wondering what type of keyword should you target, then Google Trends is the answer. For example Gecko and Fly has a nice collection of Blogger Templates… … wait or is it Blogspot Templates, should the keywords come with ’s’ or without ’s’?

Google Trends Blogger Templates Analysis

According to the analysis, Gecko & Fly should target the keyword Blogger Templates. Not only that, Google Trends is able to break down the highest number of search based on percentage. According to the image above. Lisbon, Portogal has the highest number of people searching the word ‘Blogger Templates’.

How about the keyword for ‘Google Adsense’ and ‘make money online’? Which country top the list? You won’t believe this. Malaysia with a small population of 26 million top the list for both keywords. This makes me wonder what is their avarage adsense income compare with other countries? Does Malaysia has the highest adsense income based on %? I do know that www.liewcf.com is another blogger that makes money from adsense.

Google Trends analyzes a portion of Google web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results — our search-volume graph.

Located just beneath our search-volume graph is our news-reference-volume graph. This graph shows you the number of times your topic appeared in Google News stories. When Google Trends detects a spike in the volume of news stories for a particular term, it labels the graph and displays the headline of an automatically selected Google News story written near the time of that spike. Currently, only English-language headlines are displayed, but we hope to support non-English headlines in the future.

If you are a serious blogger and the right keyword is a must. Then Google Trends is the savior. Try it for a better search engine traffic.
