I'll be there answering any questions you may have about Sitemaps. This event is all about the Latin American market, so here's some information you might find helpful if your site is in Latin America or elsewhere.<br /><br />If you want your site to show up for country-restricted searches, make sure it uses a country-specific domain (such as www.example.com.br). If you use a domain that isn't country specific (such as .com), make sure that the IP address of the site is located in that country.<br /><br />If you want to know what visitors from different countries are searching for, take a look at the <a href="http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35252&topic=8512">query stats</a> in Sitemaps. This lets you see the difference in searches for each location, as well as what languages visitors use to type in their queries.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/brazil-757368.gif"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/brazil-747629.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div> <p style="margin-top:1em;"> <span class="item-action"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=14705046&postID=115231220285784928" title="Email Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif" height="13" width="18"/></a></span><span class="item-control blog-admin pid-933388821"><a style="border:none;" href="https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=14705046&postID=115231220285784928&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"><img class="icon-action" alt="" src="https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" height="18" width="18"></a></span> </p> </div> <br /><br /> <p><strong>Previous Posts:</strong></p> <ul> <li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/06/get-more-from-latest-release.html">Get more from the latest release</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/06/webmaster-help-center-updates.html">Webmaster help center updates</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/06/sitemaps-google-group.html">The Sitemaps Google Group</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/06/another-update-on-site-operator.html">Another update on the site: operator</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/06/update-on-site-operator.html">An update on the site: operator</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/05/live-in-our-hometown.html">Live in our hometown</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/05/few-questions-from-our-google-group.html">A few questions from our Google Group</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/05/issues-with-site-operator-query.html">Issues with the site: operator query</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/05/https-verification.html">https verification</a></li><li class="previousposts"><a href="http://sitemaps.blogspot.com/2006/05/more-about-meta-tag-verification.html">More about meta tag verification</a></li> </ul> <h6>Copyright 漏 2005 Google Inc.
