Google language

[queer]

Say, I have a smaller site receiving 100-150 google hits a day. It's an english language site, but all traffic comes from google.de, google.es, google.pl, google.yadayadayadawhatever
No google.com hits at all!
How come? Anyone with good seo mind please tell me.
Is it because the site have been spidered with the above google bots and not the .com bot or? Is there any difference anyways?
Thanks!

I have the same buddy and I can'y understand why!!

It's because you spell sex the same in all languages

Could it be,
When I type in google.com I get redirected to google.mylanguagecode.
Therefore the results show up as refs with google.mylanguagecode even when the search phrases are english termed? Coz I notice the search phrases are english languaged.

Just my best guess atm.

No more input?

have you checked out the book Google Hacks ?

It might give you some insight, or at least a good lead to find your answer.

Probably just people in other countries searching for english phrases. Google does geo-redirecting for its main page so the .ca .jp .de etc get more traffic than you'd think.

I have been given permission to tell you that IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE IN THOSE COUNTRIES ARE USING LOCAL GOOGLE TO SEARCH.

Yes, but you should still receive a decent chunk of your traffic from google.com (or English speaking versions of google), ie where are the Americans, Aussies, Brits, etc?

That's the answer... isn't it? Maybe not? Tell keywords / terms, so let's check out. Google. se .de .fi .etc plays sometimes own games.

There should STILL be some referals from google.com unless we're ranked differently in each google language. The search terms IS english and IS performed on other google.language sites. Yet, not a single hit from google.com even with the same search phrases. I made testing, ranking is not the same in each language even with same english search words. This I wonder still.
