We are having a quality/ relevance issue with some of our traffic. One of the problems is that we are ranking well in certain foreign countries, which is driving irrelevant traffic to our site (as we only really cater for UK residents).

Is there any way to suppress our overseas Google rankings whilst retaining good performance in the UK?

Thanks.

Hey Jarno,

Thanks for your detailed response. I will look into the calculations as a method.

I also think doubleclicks policy is completely nofollow, I was just looking for some confirmation.

Thanks.

ah now I follow. (no pun intended)

The links were placed there by request and I am sure the website wouldn't purposely noFollow the links because, as you say, they would gain nothing. But they go through doubleclick, which usually suggests a sponsored or paid ads. Obviously sponsored or paid ads should be NoFollow but these links aren't paid advertorials, they are natural links. So I just wanted to know whether something going through DoubleClick automatically kills any juice.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for responding.

I don't really understand your answer (Sorry!). Could you elaborate a little?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm trying to work out whether a group of links to my site are Follow or NoFollow.

There is no rel=noFollow on the link but they do appear to go through Doubleclick (the link begins with this http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/), will this automatically cut-off any link juice?

Thanks.
