Increasing results with changing physical Location in Google?

One of my sites is hosted on a server that is located in Atlanta, US.
It performs pretty well in the search results (in Google) and its in the top 5 of all its important keywords.

I want to rank higher for the important keywords in the India, so i have been thinking about moving my site to a India located server.
This will (probably) help me to rank higher for my keywords for the India results ( India is my main target audience.)

Does anyone have experience in this? what i have to do ? please suggest ur views

Thanks

I didn't think it mattered where your site was located.

Maybe try getting an Indian domain name? I think it's like XXXX.in

Goodluck.

 

You can do a little location targeting through google webmaster tools.

 

Thanks for your suggestion

 

The location of the hosting is a ranking factor, but not a very important one...

 

Hosting location will not effect in the traffic. my be in the browsing speed some change can be found

 

its help but not needed

 

I will recommend you not to change the server if you want to keep the existing positions.

 

Co Location does play a small part in SERPs but you may be wiser to concentrate on getting some quality Indian backlinks to improve your SERPs in Google's indian search results.

 

i think the best thing is go go to Google Webster tools and update you target region.
this way you can keep your cornet hosting

 

I think Google Webmaster Tool is The Best options

 

You could form a subdomain and target the subdomain geographically. You could also get a country specific domain. If you translated your site to Hindi you would probably do better to go with the subdomain.

 

I don't think physical location of a server every affected search results.

 

If your server is located overseas but you are mainly interested in being found for location specific searches like "car wash India" then use google's webmaster tools to set a geo location for India. If you market is global then don't worry too much about it...only my opinion.

 

My opinion would be to keep your host and concentrate on adding relevant content and getting links.

 

Thanks for this suggestion

 

go to your webmaster tools and change you settings

 

k.alana123,concentrate on adding unique content and getting links like i do in my blog.you can see one of my blog article.

Use Traffic To Change Your Blog Into Make Money Machine

 

There is no need to do that. First, you can set a Geo Target for your website from your google webmaster account. Second, you can ask your web hosting company to set the ownership of your domain name to your India address. Then google will think your website should be more relevant for india viewers.

 

yes location will be most important for ranking
