    If you want to get more targeted visitors and increase your earnings than you must geographically target your website with google webmasters tools.

    To do that, follow this easy steps:
    1. Sign in your google webmasters account
    2. Go to Site Configuration/Settings
    3. Check the "Geographic target" box and select the country from which you want to receive more visitors
    4. Click on Save

    Now whenever a person from your targeted country will do a search on google with your websites keyword, your result will be displayed higher in thats person google search result and you'll get more targeted visitors, and by this more earnings.

    That's very interesting, and something I didn't know about. Have you found this method to work for you? Do you get more visitors and that are within your geographic range?

    It would be pointless for my site as I'm targeting a global audience anyway. I would just lose out on potential prospects and customers.

    Does it limit your traffic to just your targeted geographical area, or do you still get traffic from other areas as well?

    It does not limit your traffic to your targeted geographical area. You will also receive traffic from other geographical area but you will receive more from the targeted one.

    If you would take the time to read through all of the posts you would see that the OP stated that it worked for him.

    In my opinion, you're spamming by asking a question that's already been answered.

    But that would be limiting your opportunities, right? You may get hits or sales from other countries as well.

    Another question, when you configure your settings to a specific region, does it block out traffic coming from other countries?
