    When setting up a campaign for keywords and selected search engines. I am targeting a UK market so obviously Google.co.uk is my main target.

    However when I set up the campaign i select Google as the SE but it asks me if I want United Kingdom or Great Britain.

    I selected United Kingdom and it has been returning 0 results for rankings even though I can physically see them in the SERPS. Does anyone know exactly what is the difference between the UK and GB options.

    I assume I should of specified GB but not sure.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

        They don't actually yield the same results all the time. Can anyone clear this up?

            Ireland is neither part of the United Kingdom or "Great" Britain!

            @Dan & Paul, thanks for that.

              Don't know if this is relevant, the united kingdom is Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. Great Britian is Scotland, England and Wales. Ireland is not part of Great Britian. I have no idea if Google looks at it this way. Hope this helps. Andy

                  I remember a member of the SEOmoz team explaining that it was an issue with their system and both Great Britain and United Kingdom yield identical results. It is just two names for one Google.

                  I think they are looking into this further.

                    Difference between urls and referring urls?

                    Sorry, nit new to this side of SEO We recently discovered we have over 200 critical crawler issues on our site (mainly 4xx) We exported the CSV and it shows both a URL link and a referring URL. Both lead to a 'page not found' so I have two questions? What is the difference between a URL and a referring URL? What is the best practice/how do we fix this issue? Is it one for our web developer? Appreciate the help.

                    Why is MOZ and Google search Volume so different?

                    A search term in MOZ shows the monthly search volume to be 49K. In Google, the same term shows the search volume at only 1300 monthly searches. Which do I trust? Thanks, Don

                    UK and GB when selecting targeted engines in campaign management

                    HI Anyone know the difference between selecting UK or GB when choosing your engines to track keyword rankings? Is it that one of the options only includes pages from the UK while the other tracks all pages, but from a UK rankings point of view - ie pages hosted overseas will still rank. - if so, which is which? Or, and this is very unlikely, is it simply that the GB data does not include Northern  Ireland as the UK is technically the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. NI is in UK but not in GB. Nice and confusing! Thanks

                    Discrepancies in PA and LRDs reported in different SEOmoz tools

                    I've noticed a difference in the reported PA and LRD numbers for URLs depending on whether you use Open Site Explorer, or look at the same metrics from within the rankings history (in your campaign set up). I've checked this for a few URLs and what I'm seeing is the reported scores for PA and LRDs is different 9 times out of ten. The PA is sometiomes higher on one report, lower on another, or vice versa. Same for LRDs. I thought it might be because one report was lagging behind and using old data, but that would only make sense if I was seeing an increase in reported LRDs, but it just as often shows a decrease ! Is this just a bug in the campaign>rankings history report or is there a reason for the discrepancies?
