Geographical location of webserver, is it important?
- SEO |
I wonder if geographical location of the webserver is important or can Google Webmaster Tool and some meta tags be used instead?
In Google Webmaster Tool I can specify what country the site is for and also put these meta tags on all pages on the site:
<meta name="country" content="United States" />
<meta name="geo.country" content="US" />
but not sure using those tags and Google Webmaster Tool has the same effect as placing the webserver in a specific country?
I ask because I live in Norway and have created a niche site (.org) with English content. I see on Google Trends that it's in the United States that keyword gets the most hits...
So I was wondering if I should choose an ISP in the United States or stick with a Norwegian host? I'm already having 2 sites at a Norwegian ISP and I'm very satisified with them. High speed and no downtime + excellent support... I've read a lot of crap about godaddy and other ISP... So not sure what to do
any suggestions?
