Hi,

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've been doing all of the above but no change yet. It may be early days. Any idea how long the geographic location thing in google takes to work? I've also located the business on google maps (it says 4 weeks for this to update). I've submitted to lots of specific local directories. Because the business is based in the UK, many of the natural links built up are UK based. If you google the company name within the UK, there are lots of websites linking to the site. Problem is when you type in keywords as my site is not be presented in google UK I may as well not exist.

As my .com has a good pagerank, is well established and lots of links I don't want to lose it.

I was thinking if I hosted the main site on the .co.uk domain but put a redirect on the .com domain to .co.uk would this work? Would the pagerank, high search engine position etc be transferred to the .co.uk domain?

I really don't want to change back to UK hosting as it is very difficult to find what I want and I really don't want to go down the dedicated server route.

Thanks for all your help. If you can think of anything else let me know.
