If you’re going to spend money registering domains in target countries and doing targetted pay per click campaigns you should also take the time to do some basic market research. And no, I don’t mean pure figures – I mean cultural stuff.

Seriously.
If you’re going to try selling to us then learn to speak to us in terms we understand and use.
