Does SEO only work in the USA?

Does SEO only work in the USA, or does it work in other countries like New Zealand, Japan and China also?

Do you need to build and search engine optimize each of the websites on a country by country basis?

If your target audience is in New Zealand or Japan or China, then you have to localize and optimize for the given country. In the case of New Zealand, it wouldn’t be as big a job because it’s still English. But of course, some of the terms are going to be different, and there will be different search trends. Many keyword research tools give you statistics per location.

SEO should be language independent, but it could be a typical question for Matt Cutts.

On the other hand SEO the important criteriums are site structure like programming (clean effective coding), suitable meta data, internal/external Links, usage of title attributes for links + alt for images and a handsome usability, backlinks to your site will further increase your page/domain authority, but start it slow and manual.

There are not much more language depending factors than actual, grammatic correct + unique high quality content.
