what if you must target ppl living in usa for "hotels in singapur"?
-
@xecutey I think you are completely right. They are still in fact a competitive company that is a conglomerate (sp?). Disinformation is a strategy that has played well for Google.

i think this really could help: tinyurl yk65g8x and tinyurl 2aflbb and tinyurl 2zfxwy (hope you can sort these domains)

I've spent the good part of an hour looking for it and didn't find it (though I saw some other useful videos so it's OK!).
Would it be too much to ask if you could point me in the right direction?
And in regards to my second question about same content in different languages, there are three options that come to my mind in fact: 1. different subdomains, 2. differenent directories, same website 3. just different websites.
If we get answers to those 2 questions whole picture will be crystal clear!

this question was answered like one year ago... look for the video here, in the webmaster central

I'll admit that it's important to read between the lines of what Matt says, but here he's simply saying "don't be spammy, don't lie", and "you'll get away with it for awhile, but we'll catch you, and penalize you, eventually".

Because low-bandwidth versions are typically better for seo.

Googlebot favor websites that load faster :)

Here's something I haven't seen answered. Why does Googlebot seem to always favor the low-bandwidth versions of forums? What are the seo implications of this? Does googlebot 'know' which types of forums have this and favor it? It's kind of annoying sometimes, but then again I can understand that there's still a lot of people out there on dialup connections.

What to do when we want to target only 2-3 countries ?
Then don't change anything ? Maybe there should be an option to set geographical location for more then 1 country.

How about when your business is setup in a specific country BUT your customers come from everywhere in the world, except from where that specific country where your business is? For example: you offer a Vacation Packages in a specific country... In these same lines: what is better: 1. have subdomains for the same content in different languages or different websites for specific languages?
