International sites

Is anyone spending time developing international sites?

Hello, I was wondering what percentage of your sites are targeted towards the international market.

Best

100+ sites:

95% targeted for international business mostly using .com, .in and .cn extensions, some other country TLD extensions br, it, fr, de, es etc.

balance 5% specifically to the UK all using .co.uk extensions

15 new .eu domains under construction which will be focused primarily to Europe...surprise, surprise:-)

I haven't a clue how I'm going to do this unless Google actually brings out Google.eu now that they've got it!

About all my sites are targeted at a worldwide audience. I have developed one local thing recently (in my own language), but I am not happy yet with the $$$ results...

whoyou, what's international to you? As opposed to which 'national' market? I am not sure that I understand your question.

100+ sites, how do you manage them? You must have a small staff. Are these sites with articles pulled from article directories?

Jean, I'm based in the US.

100+ sites, how do you manage them?

All CSS based upon the same standard template designed by myself. I work on them maybe 8-10 hours per week since I have my "real" sales job to do!

You must have a small staff.

Very small, me.

Are these sites with articles pulled from article directories?

All unique content. No outside contribution whatsoever except for an occasional reference to other specific authority niche trade sites.

OK, so if international means non-US my travel sites are international. US (national?) visitors make about 10-15% of total visitors.
