Not Sure How To Target The UK

15 years ago

What I understand is if your server is based in UK then you can easily get good rankng in uk with .com. You may also use the webmaster tool to specify the geographical region you want to target.

Thanks

Hosting in the Uk does seem to have a better effect, although not most important.

If I were to target the uk I'd pick a .co.uk domain name.

Same here. I usually use .co.uk for UK related sites.

I'd stick with the .com personally. And maybe get the co uk and redirect it to the dotcom.

Seems like I should have went with .co.uk but it was a chunk of change as I needed a few domains.

Do you a Google Webmaster tools account? If you don't, set one up. Once you have verified your site, go into Settings, and there is an option for Geographic Target. Go in there and change it to point to the UK. This way Google will know that your site is specifically targetting UK users.

Thanks thats a really good tip. I wanted to keep my options open with the possibility of flipping it thats another reason why I got the .com.

if you got with a .com make sure your host provider has a data centre in the UK. I made a mistake where I hosted a .com with 1and1.co.uk and their data centre is in germany. Personally if I am targeting the UK I always use .co.uk

Thanks
