Hey
Im trying to promote my website it take it up in the google search results but i just found our something new and i need you to tell me ( only if you really know)
what i suppose to do with this information.
My website is going up very good in google and im ALWAYS using google.com
Now i just, for the frst tim, went to google.co.uk and the resukts are diffrent.
In google.com im in the 3 page (its a new website) while in google.co.uk my website is only on #4 page.
It happen for a few diffrent websites.
I had no idea that the search results for the samr keywords are so diffrent - its the same search engine .
Now
how does it suppose to change the ways i working.
Its go better in google.com but its much more important to me that it will go up in google.co.uk
I suppose to act diffrent according to the country , is the SEO strategy suppose to be diffrent ? and if yes how can i know what should i change?
I mean, how can it be that promoting a website is much more difficult in google.co.uk than its on google.com its not the same websites all over the world????

  • Google.com is the global search engine and Google.co.uk is for UK region. Till Google.as was not launched .com was considered to be of USA which is no more now. Google UK looks for regional links more if you want to rank regionally. Try to build backlinks from .co.uk sites.

        If you want to improve ranking for google .co.uk, you have to build more links from uk based websites. To find UK based websites follow the tips below.

        1. Ends with co.uk

        2. Server IP from UK

        3. UK related websites --telling about events or things in UK

        4. UK discussion forums and directories.

    Google.com is the global search engine where as Google.co.uk is the regional search engine for UK audience. Results do vary for .com and .co.uk version. Because Google tend to display results depending upon its location. If Google thinks your website is suitable for UK audience, you will get ranked high in .co.uk.

    Right, Google.com is global search engine while Google.co.uk is for UK only. So you get different results in these two search engine.

    They are both the same it is just the location is different. google.co.uk, is supposed to be used by people of the UK and google.com is for USA people or i think also other international countries, but there is no difference. all give same search results.

    There is huge difference between google.com and google.uk. Google.com is prepared for worldwide it represent all countries and google .uk is for all time target only uk if you open google in uk then you straight go to google.uk, if you need to go google.com there is option in go to Google.com.
