What Is he Difference Between Google UK and Google Great Britain
-
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

Glad someone else asked this question, thanks for clarification.

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

Nothern Ireland is in the UK though, just not Eire.
UK
- England
- Scotland
- Wales
- Northern Ireland
GB
- England
- Scotland
- Wales

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

Hi Dan,
Thanks for confirming that for me, just wanted to check.
Thanks

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.

How to Combine the Moz Keyword Difficulty Tool with Google Keyword Planner for LOCAL (city/town) Results
Hi there, I wish that Moz would show local (city/town) results in their Keyword Difficulty Tool. But they don't, so here's my question: I'm trying to rank for keywords "interior design" in a local geographic area in the US. When using Google KWP, I'm selecting all the towns I want to rank in, and searching against the keywords INTERIOR DESIGN. The search volume appears to be approx. 370 a month. What I'm not sure about is whether I should instead (or in addition to), be searching for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY), and leaving the geographic selection as US. What is most accurate? OR...should I search for INTERIOR DESIGN (CITY) in Moz's Keyword tool? How do you guys do it?

Report is showing 2 different domains?
Hello SEOMOZ Fam, I am trying to get a understanding on what is the best method for me to do moving forward. I am just noticing that my reports are showing data for both http://domain & http://www.domain which is what has been confusing me for this whole past month. I have just went into my control panel and redirected domains to be just http://domain....will me doing this redirect clean up my next crawl report next week or are there other steps I need to do with my domain or even my campaign? I think I chose root level for my campaign setting. Thanks so much n advance

Difference between Webmaster and SEOMoz back-link stats?
Hi there, I just noticed that there are differences between the links to my site showing on my Google Webmaster account and what is showing on my link analysis on SEOMoz. Has anyone noticed this? In webmaster I am showing 857 links to my site from 92 different domains. In SEOMoz I am showing 816 links to my site from 53 total linking root domains and only 39 followed domains? Does anyone know why this there is a difference? Are the links showing in Webmaster all indexed and followed links? Thanks in advance 🙂 Karl
