I need a series of articles that would explain the benefits of translating a blog to multiple languages and the specific techniques on how to do this for major blog engines.
The articles should speak to bloggers who do their writing in order to generate advertising revenue. To bid on this, you must be a blogger (and be able to show your blog to me).
## Deliverables
IMPORTANT:
The drive for these articles is to get bloggers to use our translation service. We're in the process of creating a special interface for translating blogs and want to have content articles which explain the benefits or using it, and give detailed instructions on how to use for different blogs.
When writing how-to sections, you should provide screen shots showing the process. Save images separately, so that it's easy to create a web page from it. Images should be saved in full size, high quality. We'll create the smaller thumbnails.
Our website is:

Have a look to understand what we're offering. It will help you understand what kind of articles we need.

This is a wide and open subject and I will adjust the work contents according to the skills and experience of the selected writer.
Some points that are fundamental:
The first article should provide the motivation for translating a blog. This should be:
* Be able to show ads and get ad-clicks in other languages
* Have static contents (and not machine translated contents) in other languages
* Be able to appear on organic Google searches in other languages
* Provide some statistics (and link to sources) for search volume in English versus other languages (give a table of other languages - German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, aggregate of all others).
* Explain that both content and advertisement in other languages is much less crowded, giving a better chance to earn ad money.
* Explain that professional human translation is essential, in order to provide valuable contents for visitors and search engines.
The other articles should go into details of how to accomplish this. Points to cover:
* How to implement multi-lingual contents on blogs so that they generate new Google traffic.
* How to arrange contents (language selector on same page, different blogs on same domain, domain per language, localized TLD advantages).
* How to register localized TLD (top level domain)
Last, there should be articles showing exactly how to create a translated version of blog contents for different major blog engines:
Free hosted blogs:
* Blogger
* Wordpress (free hosted version)
* Typeadd
* MSN live
Blogs you can install on your own server:
* movabletype
* bblog
* expressionengine
* blogware
* wordpress (local install version)
