I have a website with different country specific domains like .com, .ca, .co.uk, .nl and more. I started promotion for those websites. Now i am located somewhere and i want to promote my website in specific countries.

For example, for .ca domain, my website was ranked below top 50 Google Canada. I want to push my ranking to top 10.

Please explain me the steps to improve my website rankings. And i don't have specific addresses for the countries. I have only one branch in USA.

And also tell me some link building strategies for these kind of country specific URLs.

    If you want to rank your site in Google Canada, try to find sites in Google.ca and take links on that, and so is for other countries.

    Buy a old country specific domain, host it. Create some backlinks to it. Redirect it to the website you are targeting. Also you can use local listing sites and that works! Also as kaytav said find some good high PR non spammy and relevant pages ranked in local google and purchase or do broken link building using the pages. Works like charming breeze!

    I believe you can set your site to target a certain country in Webmaster Tools, I have done it with a few of my local sites and I think it works, I'm on page one in just 2-3 weeks with competitive keywords and I don't even have a country specific domain, just a regular .com domain.

    If you are planning for country specific then you need to have database of submissions related to specific countries and start offstie activities that would do wonders for you, at the same time go for business listing activities as well.

    You should set Geographical target in Google Webmaster tool. Set your targeted country in the tool. Also find some business listing sites & submit your business into that sites.It will perform a better to get traffic & boost up the keyword ranking position in Google.

    One two-word phrase that dominates any and every local SEO market:
    local links

    Yes, links that are on sites in the local country are the way to go.

    Can you add Meta GEO tag in your website pages? Meta Geo tag is for all search engines to indicate that you promote your website in specific geo location.

    Has anyone used a linkbuilding service that targeted other countries? I personally write using the Queen's English (born and raised in America, just a preference), so I get a few hits based on that alone.
