I have a quick question in relation to SEO worldwide, i think i know the answer but would like confirmation.

If i have a website (g.com.au) and get someone to do SEO for it (american provider), i would assume the page rank fluctuations would only occur on google.com and not on google.com.au? As in if the SEO provider was from Australia and he implemented SEO on .com.au sites then this would affect the page ranking on google.com.au.

Therefore in short if you have a site; g.com.au - then you do SEO on sites ending in .com and not .com.au would this increase your google.com.au page ranking? (Assuming the SEO being implemented is like top tier)

    Doing SEO on a site should in theory improve your rankings on all Google locations. I see .co.uk sites ranking in google.com all the time. I always think you have a much better chance of getting ranked for the version of google you're trying to rank in by having the same domain extension yourself though. i.e. if you want to rank on google.com.au then have the same extension. That is not to say you can't rank a .com but you have an edge by aligning your site with the google location you are targeting.

    If you want to rank well globally it is best generally to stick with a .com, .net, .org , etc.

    If you want to target a specific country use the .com.au, .co.uk, etc.

    Any SEO you do such as building backlinks to the site will most usually cause it to increase in all Google locations/algorithms, however, it will be highest in the country that its tld designates(Australia is where you will be ranking BEST overall if you are using a .com.au, for example).

    Using .com sites will rank your website all over the globe. If you are looking for your website rank in a specific country then focus on .co.in, .com.au site will help to rank easily in less time.
