A very interesting interview of Matt Cutts on the topic of Chinese SEO.

Interview with Matt Cutts on Search and SEO in China [chinamyhosting.com]

Zac: Is there a significant difference between Chinese site SEO and English site SEO? Are there differences in your algorithm for different languages?

Matt: I think that every country does have some differences in how they do SEO. In Germany, people are more likely to use hyphens in their domain names, for example. Some countries lean more toward monetizing via affiliate programs; other countries may monetize more via cell phones than credit cards, because credit cards aren’t equally common in every country. But there are many common ways that SEOs operate.

Hi bill,

Those differences are evident even within the EU, for example, though. (Credit-card penetration varying between maybe 20% and 80% in different states for example.)

So did you manage to read any specific details from between the lines. (Like how to make my site popular in Beijing, for example!)
