HOW TO MARKET YOUR WEBSITE ONLINE GLOBALLY

Website Cloning & Hosting for International Markets

The first thing you are probably thinking is "I thought my website is already being seen around the world on the world wide web". Well actually although your website may be seen around the world, it is probably only being found in your own country. This is because Google gives higher rankings to websites with local domains (.co.uk .co.nz etc) that are actually hosted within each country.

If your website is a .com.au domain & also hosted in Australia then it will certainly be able to rank highly within Google Australia search results. But when it comes to being seen on Google.co.uk for example - Google will assign higher rankings to .co.uk domain names hosted in the UK - it determines the location of each website via the IP address of the hosting provider.

The same principle applies to every country around the world. So if you are targeting a particular country then it makes sense to register a local domain & upload a clone copy of your website to a local hosting provider. This is essentialy a FREE copy of your website acheived through a simple FTP upload. The website content will then need to be adjusted to avoid penalties from Google for cloned website content.

Our online marketing experts can help you select the most appropriate domain name & hosting provider for the jurisdiction you are targeting. Beware of doing this yourself as many overseas hosts in the UK, USA & Canada for example, actually have their data-servers located in India & this will ensure your rankings never make it past Page 10 on the regional Google search engine you are targeting.   

If you are taregting non-English speaking countries then you will also need to consider translation of your content in order to ensure maximum benefit of the localization efforts.

Each country targeted should go through the localization process (domain - hosting - language) to ensure the language is adapted to address the local requirements.  Other apsects of online marketing such as SEO will also need to be implemented & country specific.
