Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Eric, I understand how it feels to get that first great link. Don't reindex or resubmit sitemap. Here is a little trick... Go into webmaster tools and the 3rd or 4th button on the left going down is CRAWL. Click that and the third item on the dropdown is Fetch as Google. (You are going to use it for getting the page crawled, but that is not the original intent for this tool.)  Click Fetch as Google and put the URL of the page in. IF the page is your home page, leave blank and then hit fetch. That should get it crawled fairly quickly.  Note. This does not mean it will show up in links to your site in the next few days or even weeks. I have seen it take two months to get a link to show in GWMT. Hope this helps, good luck as you go forward. Edit: Sorry click Fetch and Render then click Index. Forgot about this. Robert

Hi Gianluca & Eric, Gianluca you are correct reading the question the first time I assumed it would be best to allow each language to have a chance to rank. Clearly I should have focused on a method of getting the site to rank using what must be considered normal dialect as it is that popular. I agree Google will figure it out. In addition, I agree with everything you said below if you want to rank for a country use its dialect in H1 title tags everything listed below. thank you for clearing that up Gianluca. All the best, Thomas

Thanks for the tip.  I verified that GWT has me set to brazil (was automatic because of the .br domain). So guess it's just because I haven't done any of the needed leg-work yet. I have some partners that are in related businesses I'm going to see about getting links from.
