Hi Warriors,

I think that this is my first post. Question? I have a couple of web sites up. They have been set up for a while and are ranked in Google. Can someone tell me please why when they are both .com's most of if not all of my traffic comes from the UK? Yes I am based in the UK but surely a .com is general and not coumtry specific? Is this Google trying to be clever?

    Here is a quirk that I have noticed.

    I'm in Canada, and when I do a search for my sites, be they .com or anything else, they often rank higher in google.ca than they do in google.com.

    So it just might be that you're getting UK visitors because they are searching google.uk (?) where you are ranking better.

    Or maybe not.

    That's just something my very anal self has noticed, and I thought it might have relevance.

    Well I happen to know that if you want to rank for google.co.uk, you can either put united kingdom in your about page or contact page or if you get incoming links from some UK directories..

    So maybe that is why you rank better there...

      Thanks Warriors for the reply,

      The point is that I would like traffic from US, Canada etc. not just from the UK. That is a far bigger market. We all sell e-products which can be delivered world wild by the web, for the most part anyway. So why then should Google limit me to only UK traffic?
