may well be a silly question but I have no idea:confused:

    To rank in other countries, you could get the country-specific domain extension, set it in Webmaster Tools, and use geotagging. I have sites targeting the US, UK, and Ireland.

    Hmmm! That is a cool strategy. Because on my way of targeting this country is doing some submissions in a classified ads.

    That's a good strategy but to actually RANK you need quality backlinks from a local domain.

    if you buy a .co.uk website, get some high quality anchor-text links from other .co.uk domains and your golden

    if you already own a .com .net or .org then just use google webmaster tool and just change the settings to target UK or depending on your preference.

      Agreed, I have a .co.uk, but in hindsight I think that I would have prefered .com

    Find our .co.uk and .ie websites and get a link from there. And write articles in british english rather than american.

    Following ways are helpful in bringing your rank high in Google.co.uk,

    * Try to build the backlinks from UK ccTLD's.
    * Try UK business listings.

      Wow...thanks people. Amazing response.

      I already have a .co.uk site and its doing well on google.co.uk

      Not doing so well on .ie?

      I also have a .com domain that I want to rank on .co.uk and .ie so is it just a matter of visisting webmaster tool and just changing the settings to target UK (for the .com domain) and getting some high quality uk backinks?

      Anyone know where I can get UK and IRL backlinks?

    Do exactly the same as you would for a .com but include UK content and use a .co.uk domain name.

    If you get links from .co.uk and .ie hosted websites then it will create a good impression of your website.
