    Hi guys,

    I have a question. Do you have an experience about google national and international ranking algorithm. For example, is the same algorithm for " Google.de " Germany, and " Google.com "???

    For example, lot of tactics, are valid and effective on google.de and not effective on google.com, tell us about this .

    Do you have any idea?

    Share your skills please! we need your help!

      Hi,

      Algos do change around the world, different things can be seen in different markets.

      For example Google will favour .com.au domains in the Australian market because it is country specific TLD's.

      Sure you can GEO target the domain via webmaster tools yet it will not be as powerful.

      Also country specific links will work in your favour and copy which meets the users language for your area.

      Do some TLD's have more spamy things going on? Yes I agree some areas we see that .com market Google has really been fixing it up for a long time other markets are a bit slower to move, yet with all the recent changes to the algo like Panda we are seeing all TLD's come together in a more combined sense.

      Hope this helps.

        Legitimate link building can always offer value. All the standard link building metrics apply. What is the DA/PA of the linking site, is the site relevant to yours, what is the anchor text, etc.

        If your site sells artwork, clearly anyone in the world might appreciate and buy from your site. If instead you offer local plumbing services, then a link from another country shouldn't hold as much value.

        There are over 200 factors evaluated to determine a page's ranking in search results. PA and DA are two factors. What about the content and the other factors?

          Hi Ryan, thanks for your answer.

          I mean, on the google.de are more spammy results on serp, like on google.com

          i am trying lot of keywords, lot of domains with a low DA and PA forexample both: 40/100 are ranking higher than PA and DA with 60 or 70/100.

          Than, exchange links, spammy directory, so things are working well.

          But what do you thing Ryan, about link building internationally, i take an example, you have the domain " Ryan.com" and you are writing in english right, and now you post an article about my company name in english language, and you place an hyperlink to my website, is this danger, or not?

          I am interested to know more about internationally vs nationaly. For link building everything, if you have experience on this, tell me please.

          thanks

            The algorithms used for the various ccTLDs like Google.de are not the same as .com. For example, Panda has fully been implemented for .com.

            I would highly advise adjusting any site that has been penalized or otherwise seen ranking issues in Google.com. The other Google updates will be updated eventually.

              Yelp (recrawl Google/Bing)

              If Google and Bing show an older version of a site's Yelp rating in the search results, what options are there to help ensure Google and Bing recrawl the Yelp page? Additionally, it appears third-party sites such as MapQuest show Yelp ratings and appear in Google search results; is it possible to request MapQuest to recrawl Yelp and then ask Google to recrawl MapQuest? Any advice would be much appreciated!

              Google still showing sitelinks from old website

              Hi guys, we relaunched our website www.segafredo.com.au a few weeks ago, however google is still showing site links from our old page that no longer exist... Is there anything we can do about this? Sit back and wait or try demoting the old urls in webmaster tools? Looking forward to see your tips! Ciao, Manny.

              Will Google ever begin penalising bad English/grammar in regards to rankings and SEO?

              Considering Google seem to be on a great crusade with all their algorithm updates to raise the overall "quality" of content on the Internet, i'm a bit concerned with their seeming lack of action towards penalising sites that contain terrible English. I'm sure you've all noticed this when you attempt to do some proper research via Google and come across an article that "looks" to be what you're after, then you click through and realise it's obviously been either put together in a rush by someone not paying attention or putting much effort in, or been outsourced for cheap labour to another country whose workers aren't (close to being) native speakers. It's getting really old trying to make sense of articles that have completely incorrect grammar, entirely missing words, verb tenses that don't make any sense, randomly over-extravagant adjectives thrown in just as padding, etc. etc. No offense to all those from non-native speaking countries who are attempting to make a few bucks online, but this for me is becoming by far more of an issue in terms of "quality" of information online as opposed to some of the other search issues that are being given higher priority, and it just seems strange that Google have been so blasé about it up to this point - especially given so many of these articles and pages are nothing more than outsourced filler for cheap traffic. I understand it's probably hard to code in something so advanced, but it would go a long way towards making the web a better place in my opinion. Anyone else feeling the same way? Thoughts?

              How can you change 'Google related searches'?

              I am having problems for a few clients where google is suggesting negative related searches. I have had success getting Google suggestion (auto-complete) to suggest the keywords we want to be associated with the brand but the 'Searches Related to....' at the bottom of the search page is a big problem. Many of the terms are negative of sometimes defamatory and have absolutely not relevance to the brand.  Even upon clicking on the related searches the pages Google displays are about other businesses. Can anyone suggest how to teach Google these term are irrelevant or any other suggestions as to how to remove them?
