Thread: Irish SEO techniques

We have the same filters and penalties like in Ireland.
Google has Polish Headquarters in Krakow, there people are working on Polish results only.

In my experience sometimes in google.ie is easier to be first than in Poland.
But I think that's why Ireland population is 4 mln people and in Poland 40 mln.

The filters and penalties are most likely the same everywhere in the world, but algorithms are not enough to handle violations of Google guidelines. They need humans to review the flagged pages, deal with spam reports etc.

The Google branch in Krakow is for engineering and the one in Wroclaw for customer service. There may be no single person employed there to handle the search quality. I saw some ads for 'search quality associates' with fluent Polish here in Dublin, so I can imagine that there are some people working on those issues in every local version of Google. The only question is how many people comparing to the English language results.

See this video (around 6th minute) with Matt Cutts saying that he is sending his 'right hand' to Europe for six months. Why would they do it if it was all ok? It was end of the 2006. Did they handle the problem since then? I doubt it...

The filters and penalties are most likely the same everywhere in the world...

they are the same but some countries might not get the attention they deserve

Hi all,

I just answered a post as to how I find niche markets. Some may already know it, many don't.

It's here


Kev.

my view of irish seo enviroment is that many,(if not most) of the top seo people are irish, at major seo confrences in the US it is very noticable.

Yes, I would agree. I was browsing and found this Link where an Irish SEO is quoted as an authority on SEO.

Well Done "Dave Davis".......... great to see it.

I knew absolutely nothing about seo one year ago now I have worked on a site and brought it to number one for a competitive business the adult entertainment business. We show in google.ie at number one for adult dvds, adultstore, adult store, adult stores, adult store ireland etc. Number 3 for sex toys number 5 for vibrators I could go on and on. Is this an acheivment or is it to be expected from a person like me with no prior knowledge of web design or seo? Comments please. just typ in those keywords and you will see the results. the store is adultstore.ie

In the results from google.ie
I count 6 Irish based adult sites Seo is easy when the competition is small
don't get complacent.

... and to add:

your website should be high to the top cause the keywords you gave us are part of your domain name. It would have been a shame not to rank well.

so did i do a good job for some one with no prior knowledge?
