			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The begining process of designing any kind of application is usually the same: sketching, wireframing and prototyping. Each step has its own <em>leitmotiv </em>and it is useful to stablish the basis of a future application.</p>
<p>The tools we can use during the hole design process are quite diverse and there are no rules about using one instead the other. But the truth is there are some really helpful I would like to mention in this post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hace tan sólo unos días tuvo lugar aquí en Barcelona otra de las ya míticas reuniones de <a title="Encuentros mensuales de Marketing Online" href="http://www.conversion-thursday.com/" target="_blank">Conversion Thursday</a> a las que me encanta ir <img src='http://www.lauravilarruiz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Esta vez se trató el tema de la internacionalización web y en ella participaron:</p>
<ul>
<li>Marion Bauer, Directora de Online Marketing y CRM de Vueling</li>
<li>Victor Oliver, Director de E-business de Expohoteles</li>
<li>Pablo Mascaró, Consultor de marketing online de E-interactive</li>
<li>Pere Rovira, Country Manager Spain de Grupo Elisa Interactive</li>
</ul>
<p>A parte de comentar las conclusiones que de este meeting se extrajeron y que comento a continuación, también dejo el <a title="Internacionalización web Conversion Thursday" href="http://vimeo.com/20901005" target="_blank">enlace al vídeo de la conferenci</a>a.</p>
<h2>¿Por qué internacionalizar tu web?</h2>
<p>Principalmente porque los costes son considerablemente más bajos que la internacionalización física. La inversión es mucho menor, que no nula, porque se obvian intermediarios. En este punto, algunos asistentes cuestionaron si Google, Yahoo y Bing deben o no deben ser considerados &#8220;intermediarios&#8221;, en cualquier caso, se consideren o no como tales, los costes son controlados y muchísimo menores.</p>
<h2>¿Cómo empezar a internacionalizar tu site o plataforma e-commerce?</h2>
<p>Empieza por traducir tu web, pero ojo! es importante tener en cuenta varios aspectos:</p>
<ul>
<li>No utilizar traductores literales tipo &#8220;Google translator&#8221; porque entonces te pasará como a Ryanair que por hacerlo en lugar de poner &#8220;Haz clic aquí&#8221; pone &#8220;Chasquido aquí&#8221;, cosa que a los usuarios les molesta bastante y con razón.</li>
<li>Conoce bien al usuario nativo que va a utilizar tu site, sus costumbres de pago, su moneda y su cultura e intenta adaptarte a él.</li>
<li>Recomiendan contratar SEO&#8217;s nativos del país en cuestión y si además se sienten identificados con el producto o servicio que vendes ¡mucho mejor!, en su defecto, contrata un buen intérprete.</li>
<li>Es aconsejable empezar con campañas de PPC totalmente adaptadas al usuario nativo porque de esta manera podrás comprobar qué palabras claves utilizan para acceder a tu oferta y las podrás utilizar después en tu SEO diario.</li>
<li>En tus campañas PPC intenta que tanto el anuncio, como las palabras claves y las landing pages estén en el mismo idioma, no obstante algunos asistentes comentan que mezclando idiomas &#8211; anuncio PPC en uno y Landing Page en otro &#8211; también les ha funcionado.</li>
</ul>
<h2>¿Cuándo debemos internacionalizar y por qué país empezar?</h2>
<p>En este punto es dónde la analítica web puede darte todas las respuestas aunque también dependerá del producto o servicio que ofrezcas. Si no tienes oportunidad de obtener esta información analizando tu tráfico, entonces ¡pregunta a tus clientes!. Hay casos, como comentaba Marion Bauer (Directora online de Vueling) en los que son ellos mismos los que deciden en qué país entran en función de si sus aviones operan allí o no.</p>
<p>Y esto fue básicamente lo que se habló en el #CTBCN de Marzo, ahora a esperar el de Abril con muchas ganas!! Y mientras a seguirlos por streaming online! <img src='http://www.lauravilarruiz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
