UK Google Rankings

[OldWelshGuy]

there is another element in all this and that is that google geo locates users based on their ISp IP adresses. this is what can skew results badly. Also if google is 'iffy' about your geo location, when someone hit a 'UK ONLY' search you can get scored down.

Ideally I take no chances whatsoever, I ensure a site is a UK domain, on a Uk server, with UK set in GWT. belt and bracers me LOL

Its not impossible at all but you might as well get everything as right as you can from the start.

If you plan to go global then buy a .com. If you don't then buy a .co.uk. If for some reason you accidentally go global then that's a totally different thread!

Best bit of advice in the thread!
