Hi all,

I run [please keep domains in profile as per our rules] - a UK based website with UK IP address using a .com TLD (we do have international customers too, so don't use .co.uk as our main TLD).

One of our main keywords is "SMS Marketing". Can anyone explain why we rank on page 2 of Google.com and Google.com.au for this term, but only page 9 on Google.co.uk?

Google knows we are a UK site because we ARE listed in a Google.co.uk "Pages from the UK" search..... so why oh why do we rank so lowly in the UK, yet so high worldwide?

Many many thanks to anyone who can come to my rescue on this. It's been driving me crazy for months now sad

Thanks,

Alastair
[domains to remain in profile not in signatures]

while each one may use the same ranking algorhythm, your competition would be different in each country specific google database. I would not have the expectation that one site would rank the same in all of the google databases. You may need to make country specific websites so that you can optimize each to rank on the country specific goggle search engines.
