I just came across one topic over here about google.co.uk and google.com.
I want what will be the extension for other countries apart from UK?? And in that how does this extension co.uk/.com/co.in and all matters??

Yes, for Geo Targeting. It is necessary and valuable.

Getting more relevant local backlinks will really help you in order to rank your keywords on that particular area.

-Set geographic target” option in your Google Webmaster Tools
-Google’s Local Traffic - traffic mainly coming from the target area
-Inbound Links- inbound links from targeted area based websites
-Language - language of the targeted country
-Business Address at the footer

Geo-Targeting is when you tend to rank your keywords on a certain local area example in Australia for google.com.au You do this by getting links from that specific area in order to increase you chance to rank on SERP.

yea geo targeting is very important concepts as SEO world has become very competitive. I think this is a good approach to be followed to attract local traffic to the site.

See ya

Geo-targeting lets you target your ads to specific locations and languages.

if you want to target a particular place like UK..

you must use a .UK domain..

I was always interested in the influence of the location. So I've learnt a lot from here. Thanks!

Geo targeting in geomarketing and internet marketing is the method of determining the geolocation (the physical location) of a website visitor and delivering different content to that visitor based on his or her location, such as country, region/state, city, metro code/zip code, organization, Internet Protocol (IP) address, ISP or other criteria.

Ya it matters a lot....If the link .co.in opens then most of the result will be from the India sub region only!!!!IF there is any country's domain end then the most of the results are from there only but this is not the case with .com!!!

also link the site up to Google maps

here is one for canada,

http://www.google.ca/

also geo-targeting will be good if you want to rank in google.uk....

use some UK directories, forums.....

Hello,


If you are looking for result regarding particular geographical area it is better to use it in that way like .uk, but if you are looking for complete result regardless any particular area try.com .
