Nice article here. Not too sure on those rankings tho. Incoming links is what matters. Domain registrar and TLD has never been much of an issue.

nice article!

have to say I’ve had zero success with the Google Webmaster Tools geo-targeting. Have tried it on a few european subdomains and all it has done is reduced traffic!

Admittedly, that was 6 months ago, but too much of a risk to try again in the short term.

@Olaf: Thanks for that little tip, I’ll give that a go.

Nice article, thanks for this.

As an SEO based in the UK, I’ve found that it’s been helpful for UK companies wanting to rank best in the UK SERPS to be hosted on .co.uk domains, physically located in the UK.

Good list – what are your thoughts on the effectiveness of GEO-RSS feeds and Geo Sitemaps? (something I am beginning to test right now)

Thanks for providing this great information, but I do not agree with the part about hosting.

It’s not important that you host your website in the country where you like get listed in the serps. Just host your domain’s DNS in the country, like:

co.uk => UK DNS server
