Hi all, I live in India and I do some SEO stuffs to my couple of US clients. Here is my question. Recently I read an article stating that Google search results will also depend on the geographical location of where the content was created. So if that is true, should I use some US proxy ips to get effective SEO results to my US clients? Will appreciate some useful discussions/shares from your own experience. Pls do not throw your silly assumptions just to increase your post count. Cheers haasan
I m not sure about the geographic region issue but if u use a us ip for content so Google will catch it and u will be in trouble so dont use a different proxy
Well, obviously this is a silly assumption to raise my meagre teeny tiny post-count, but here goes. Google uses a number of clues to establish the appropriate relevant geographical location of a site - the main one will be your setting in WebMaster Tools - if you tell Google where your site's audience is, it will take a lot of contradictory messages for it to disbelieve you. In the absence of that the main clue it uses is - does the site have a country specific tld, where is it hosted; and what is the country tld and/or recognised geographic target of the sites that backlink. So - what you do in India could only skew the results for the USA site if you are either getting backlinks from loads of Indian sites, or hosting it in India
