Quick question about country specific organic results
-
Do you think that if your website is from your home country. You will rank better for some keyword even when you dont have much page authority when compared to other websites having much higher page authorities from other countries.

and one more thing @peter do you think that having an active Q and A forum like this one on ur site helps in SEO
-
@peter yeah I have all reasons to believe ur point...because this is what is happening for me also... agree...thanks for replying

I work mostly for companies in Canada, for those targeting only the Canadian market (vs also US or globally) I've found webmaster tools setting for 'target users' to have the biggest most immediate effect on improving Canadian company search results from within Canada.

No offense but I dont think that having a country level domain will help me...more than that if the website is hosted in the same country and am getting more traffic from my own country I think I might get benefitted....neways... wat do you think?
-
In my opinion you still have to compete with them.. the only way i see you can out rank them is by having a country level domain like .co.in or similar!
-
I know it that other website is not from India by seeing their contact details
-
how do you know that other website is not from India.. its like they are not hosted from the Indian IP?
I think not in this case... but if you have a country specific domain then this is quite possible!
-
you dint get my point
-
Thanks @Moosa for replying. I will explain you...
If I have a website hosted in India and me and my target audience is also from India. I think I will be ranking better for a particular keyword than other websites for the same keyword which are having high PA/DA but not from India.
So things become very easy for me to rank #1 for some keyword when there is no website/competition from India.
I just wanted to confirm this thing here.
What do you think?
-
Your question is not clear to me, so you want to say that if you have an Italian based website so that you can rank better in some keywords (may be location based) against your competitors although your DA/PA is lower than the competitor…
In my experience yes! But if you have more websites from the same country then you have to compete!
-
Yes.

Trying to understand the sporadic and not relevant search results from Google?
Trying to understand the sporadic search results from Google I have been searching for answers to my situation for two
Competitive Research | | rdominey
months now with little results. I have had numerous answers and various
solutions to the issue, and I have followed through with them trying to solve
this problem but the results are the same. Beginning in late April our SERP went down drastically. I
have checked and cleaned the website of any errors and issues that I can find with
no change in the results. I have submitted a request to Google to be
reconsidered and have been told now three times that we are not being manually
penalized. The last request I asked for
any specific reason that we were seeing these very unusual SERP results and got
no answer. The best way that I can explain the issues is with a specific example. These results are similar with other pages throughout the website: www.getyourphotosoncanvas.com/ If you search for a specific page Title you get some really strange results: Search for: Gallery Wrap vs Museum Wrap Photos on Canvas The results vary from day to day but for the most part remain very similar: ·** Black and White Photos on Canvas make Amazing

Important link building question for me!
Hi, When building backlinks how important is the location of where the website resides? For example, if I was targeting a search term in Google UK, will link building from websites hosted on UK servers have a higher positive impact on rankings then building links from websites hosted on US servers? Lets say in the above UK hosted is better, what if you have 2 websites hosted in the UK but one with .com and one with .co.uk, I take it from a domain point of view the .co.uk will have a better impact on SERP's then the .com. Now looking at the above from a more wider scale lets say I have the following: A .co.uk website aimed at a search term in Google UK. Example: 1. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the US with .com extension. 2. 100 backlinks from websites hosted in the UK with .co.uk extension. Is it a FACT that number 2 will 100% be more beneficial in UK rankings? Cheers

Are the other factors such as page rank, Alexa rating and mozRank used to determine where I will show up in search results, over Goggle's key word rank for my key words?

How to do this type of listing on Google organic search results?
The typical listing looks like this (as im sure you know): However, one of my competitors has a listing that looks like the following: (http://i.imgur.com/Io1oX.png - link to image if its too small for you to see) How do they do this? Am i right in thinking this is a lot better for SEO because effectively it takes up 3-4 positions on search results? YIHQA.png Io1oX.png Io1oX.png
