    Hi,

    My site is hosted in the UK and is in English.

    I want to translate certain pages into Grman and Dutch - in order to get German and Dutch visitors.

    What's the best way to get high on Google Germany and Holland?

    1: Should I buy German and Dutch domain names?
    2: SHould I host these pages in Germany and Holland with German & Dutch hosting companies?
    3: Will just publishing them in my current UK-based site (it's a .com) not work?

    WIll it matter if dynamic content for some of these pages comes from my database hosted on a UK server?

    Thanks,

    - Greg

    go my good friends 1&1 for Germany rankings!

    lol, sorry, couldn't resist, before we make any decisions, do you currently have UK results? if no, which is more important to you, Dutch or German visitors?

    If you answered no, German/dutch, go for a server hosted in the relevant country.

    If you want all 3 then the best thing to do is get three different URL's, your .com (UK/US people), .de (for the germans) and .nl (for the dutch) and promote them individually at the respected area. Alot of work but you are after 3 times the visitors wink

    >>WIll it matter if dynamic content for some of these pages comes from my database hosted on a UK server?

    I don't think you will get in trouble for this one, anyone care to clarify?
