Well I do not pay the translators as well. There is no way for me to pay them which is why I wanted to try revenue sharing. I think that is the right approach if you can’t afford translators.

I agree with it. Human translations have hardly any error whereas automatic translators make a lot of errors.

Then also, do you have any tip for people who cant afford bucks and want a translation tool on there blog – a good and simple one like that of Global Translator was but now it shows 403 errors! ??

It is to early to analyze the stats and see how my decision to make human translations of ghacks had any effect on my rankings and visitor demographics but I can only assume that it will have a great impact.

The reason is simple. If translator plugins are able to bring in thousands of pageviews per day human translated sites should be able to do the same and bind the visitors to the site plus get better search engine rankings because of the more natural keywords. (humans type like humans, computers not).

Three blogs are live with translations and I’m currently setting up a Japanese, Chinese, French and Portuguese blog that will go live soon.

I was overwhelmed by the response that I got from passionate readers that wanted to be part of the team and translate my site into their native language.

I also think that this will be the next big thing until computer translations become that accurate that you can’t tell the difference anymore.
