A very good book on the subject is Search Engine Visibility by Shari Thurow
.
Shari also does some seminars and consulting work. We had her in for a few
days and it was terrific.

A customer of mine is very keen on getting its site listed in the top of
google rankings.
I told him there is no garantue for this and a lot of companies just
sell basic things like metatags,links and the right keywords.
These techniques seem limited, but after a while it made me wonder, what
are the typical things involved in this process?
Are there any good resources (book,websites) on this subject?
Be happy to make a summary on this subject.
Patrick

> I don't think that would be true for every category, language or cultural
group. I can understand French, Spanish and English crossing over, but not
say, Hindi and Cantonese. Once you get away from the really obvious tags
like 'family' 'house' 'work' how are the emotions tags defined?
Why wouldn't people in Cantonese use the "family" or "butterfly" tag?
You mention emotions, why do you think they're different in other
languages? (Not disagreeing with you, just curious why.)
>There are of course many variations on Getting Things Done as a tag,
but 15 people can't have all decided to come up with that tag
independently,
I'm not so sure.. but I'd like to see data from the Flickr and other
folks... :)

(Apologies for cross post)
I'm doing research on multi-lingual search today. It turns out almost
ALL search engines use the same basic technology for Asian languages
(see http://www.poorbuthappy.com/ease/).
I'm still looking for more info: what challenges have you encountered
with multi-lingual search? What solutions? How about multi-lingual best
bets, any ideas there?
Thanks,
Peter
