Do Google use the country domain or hosting IP address?
- SEO |
Does anyone know if Google just uses the country part of the domain (site.co.nz for example) to decide if that site is in a particular country or does it use the IP address of the website hosting?
The reason why is I'm tempted to use a US hosting company (because they're much cheaper) for a quality blog about a niche but I'm mostly interest in getting New Zealand link juice and traffic from that blog.
I have the .org.nz domain name already, just wondering if I should really host it in New Zealand or can I host it in the US?
Cheers.
