An Awesome Idea To Get More Traffic to Your Sites and Blogs
84Some of you may have read my How To Increase Traffic To Your Site Or Blog written earlier. This article may be considered as an addendum to that.
I have been getting considerable traffic from non-English domains and sites, mainly from non-English Google searches from all over the world and foreign language bookmarking sites. I have successfully generated traffic from Italian, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portugese, and many other foreign language domains. This is what prompted me to suggest the installation of a 'Translate This Page' button or widget here at HubPages.
Earlier last month Google indexed one of my hubs and then later decided to de-index it. For more than two weeks there was no traffic from google for this page after getting solid hits from the search engine soon after publishing it. Since then they have re-indexed that hub and traffic from Google has picked up again. I believe one of the reasons that may have acted in my favor is the traffic and backlinks I got from non-English sites during that lull period.
According to the World Internet Statistics, only around 30% internet users are Engish. So, there are nearly 70% of the traffic to aim for!. Please refer to the screenshot below. These stats are last updated on June 30, 2008.

How To Get Traffic From Non-English Sites
One of the reason I wanted the 'translate this page' button is that, not all foreign language visitors will be able to comprehend what is on a strictly English site and they may never return again. Or they will have to use their own tool to translate the pages. Although there are a lot of free online translation tools available I rely on Google Translate.
As Mark Indicated, there is also a lighter side of online automatic translations with which you can entertain yourself at Lost In Translation.
Ok. Here is how I do it.
With Google Translate you can translate most major languages somewhat effectively. Using this tool I translate the title and text for the article into the language I want. I copy these and head over to the foreign language bookmarking sites of my choice. Once again I use the Google Translate tool to convert their pages to english. Now you can easily use that site just like any other English bookmarking sites and hope to get some traffic from them. Anyway you are getting a free backlink from a foreign language site! Don't forget that most of these foreign language sites have high PR as well.
For your reference below is the biggest list of working non-English bookmarking sites that you can use to get some high traffic. I am sure in the coming years there will be more and more language specific services on the net, and I will have keep on updating this list. But always remember not to break the golden rule of social bookmarking sites. DONT SPAM!

Do you use foreign language bookmarking sites to increase traffic and get backlinks?Loading...
Interesting concept and one that I will certainly try.
Just wanted to thank you for sharing again as after reading earlier today as mentioned, I proceeded to register with some of the sites. It has been a few hours and I have had small success with the site you mentioned 'HEMiDEMi' so again thank you :)) it was also very interesting
Fantastic !!!!! I am going to attempt this....thank you so much
You are a genius!!!!! this is so so so clever!
Excellent list i came across first time. But i want to ask how to use these websites because language is a major concern when we go for sign up at these websites ?
This sight was informative. I am new to this information and have spent hours reading hubs, and looking for new social networking sites, trying to learn. I wondered how you could reach a foreign market, and this hub was helpful. You have given me hours of work to do now.
It's an interesting idea but have you ever checked how those translations look like in this foreign language? I guess it may work from backlinking perspective but the quality of those translations is hillarious sometimes.
I can tell immediately when the article was automatically translated into polish instead of being written in polish for example, as it makes no sense and have no grammar structure. It definitelly creates a bad impression in my opinion but still, there might be people who don't mind bad grammar or languages that translate better, who knows...
This is amazing.Never thought about getting traffic from non english sites,in fact such a thought never occured and to say 70 % of users are non english.
Great info,bookmarked and voted up.
Awesome, thanks a lottt!!!
GENIUS!
Do people actually stay on your pages after they see they are in english, or do they bounce back? I'm a bit worried about bounce rates myself, though the idea on itself is really good :)
Bloody hell!! I never though about that!! This is a great post! Thank you so much for having posted it!!!
thanks for sharing this awesome hub SunSeven
I would never have thought of doing this - great idea.
Very useful tips and information - thanks.!!!!
this is great list of bookmark site , thanks you very much
Very useful tips and information - thanks.
Interesting idea! Thanks for the share. Will bookmark it.
OK...this is getting bookmarked for a time when I feel a little more comfortable that I have the English side down. LOL! I know I want to learn this but I'm a little too much of a newbie for it today. Thanks for the advice, though. Now I am going to search for the FIRST article you wrote...:)
I find that increasing your website traffic is easiest with viral marketing. I've gotten great success with the one below, and it has also increased my link popularity for SEO purposes. It's free too...
Great idea the foreign language bookmarking, great way to get extra traffic.
