Gemma: Do you know of any statistics (and where they are on the web) the would help me understand how people search. For instance, just because someone understands English and lives in the Netherlands, doesn’t mean they would automatically search the web in English. Perhaps they more often search in their native tongue. Do you know of any anecdotes or research in this area?
Thanks for your help in advance. Can you drop me an email with your thoughts?
