Hello, Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have read earlier posts but still need more clarification. Thank you. Does the physical location of a server matter regarding SERPS on google? My hosting / company sever is located in Canada. Im going from a dot CA url to a dot COM. I’m hoping to help my SERPS and am wondering now if I should also move my dot COM to a U.S. based server?
yes it will matter if u targeting geotraffic, if your target is American market that it will be batter if u host your site on us server.
I noticed ( with a .co.uk belonging to a client ) some months that it didnt affect SERPS on Google ( seemed that you just needed a .co.uk or to be hosted in the country for Goolge.) BUT Yahoo SERPS for yahoo.co.uk were way out because server was hosted in Germany.. When I did a search on yahoo.de , there were the results.. So I would imagine ( even for performance.. ) that you're best to stay in the country that you think you're most clients will come from.. Good Old USA!
