Hi! I am a new user, and I send grants from Italy. First of all sorry for my English I want to propose a problem. I'm optimizing a site, www.limoflorence.com of a friend that has a car rental with driver society. His customers are mostly americans. I'm choosing to optimize the site about the keywork, among the others, "limousine service in italy". I have had excellent risults but on search-enginex.it and not in search-enginex.com. (yahoo for example, in google I have some problems to indicizate) How can I do to improve the risults also in yahoo.com and not only in yahoo.it? (or in general x.it and x.com) I thank you all and sorry again for my stupid english
1. you are competing with fewer other sites for those seaqrch terms in the regional Google 2. your search term specifically mentions Italy and I presume that's what your pages are optimized for - makes sense you'd do better regionally than globally 3. is the site hosted in Italy or the US? It might help to change to a server in the US
hi, minstrel! 1) not quite! the site with whom I am competing are not few because it's turistic field, and however are the same in regional or universal engine because the agency that offer this service are italian! So the same number in search-engine.it and search-engine.com. 2)I need to impress the site not in regional but inthe universal motor, becouse the site it's for a commercial activity regarding not italians but american (or strangers in general) turists 3)the server is an italian one! Why tis influence also something? It is possible that the site doesn't gain position because of its poor English?
It's about Italian limos and it's hosted in Italy and your site optimizes for keywords whch include the term "Italy" or "Italian" -- Google will identify it as an Italian site so you'll get prominence in the Italian Google as a result. I'm not sure that hosting in the US will make any difference to your ranking in Google.com - that point was more just being curious.
And why, minstrel, google or other serach engine would have to consider my site italian just because it's host in Italy and speak about Italy and it's written interily in English(even if bad)? Also becouse google would consider my concurrent's sites in th same way and it doesn't do! (google.it gives my however problems it's yahoo.it and yahoo.com if you want to do some tests upon my site)
I'm merely trying to help you understand how a site can do better in a regional search engine than in the .com version. You haven't told me about your other sites but let's look at the one you do mention: 1. the domain is www.limoflorence.com 2. the page title is Limousine Service in Italy and chauffeur service in Tuscany, Florence, Rome, Venice - Italy tours in limo - Italy and Tuscany wine tours - Car rental service with driver for Italy tours and transfers from Civitavecchia to Rome and Livorno transfers to and from. 5. your mata tags are as follows: <meta name="keywords" content="limousine service in italy and chauffeur service in florence, rome, venice and tuscany, italy tours in limo, Italy and Tuscany wine tours, car rental service with driver for Italy tours, Tour in Italy, Limousine Italy Tour, limo Italy tour, chauffeur Italy tour, italian escursion, Italy tour escursion, private Italy tour, Italy Tuscany tour, Italy tour, Italy tours, Florence Italy tour, limo rental in Italy, Italy Rome tour, guide Italy tour, tour of Rome Italy, incoming Italy tour, classical Italy tour, escorted Italy tour, Italy Tour travel, Italy tour wine, in Italy tour wine, in Italy Rome tour,tasting tour tuscany wine, guide Italy Rome tour, in Italy tour walking, car rental Italy tour, tour to Italy, coach tour of Italy, southern Italy tour, northern Italy tour, tour guide Rome Italy, cooking tour Italy, bus tour Rome Italy, Italy group tour, Italy tour Florence Rome Venice, Civitavecchia Transfers, Livorno transfers, transfers form Livorno port, transfers from Civitavecchia port, from Civitavecchia to Rome, Tuscany Italy tour, limo Italy tour, tour in limo Italy, independent tour of Italy, Venice Italy tour, cosmos tour Italy, airport chauffeur Italy tour, Italy tour operator, abc tour Italy, tour company Rome Italy, family tour to Italy, bus city from italian Italy tour, Italy day tour, bus tour in Rome Italy, cheap Italy tour, rent a car with driver Italy tour, Italy Rome tour, food and wine tour Italy, study tour in Italy, culinary tour Italy, private tour of Italy, guide Italy outlet shopping tour, budget Italy tour, day tour Rome Italy, small group tour to Italy, Italy single tour, luxury Italy tour, best Italy tour, Florence Italy and walking tour, Italy cultural tour, Italy land tour, educational Italy tour, 2006 Italy tour, custom tour Italy, incentive tour Italy, Naples Italy tour, Italy catholic tour, vatican Italy, vatican Italy tour, food tour of Italy, virtual tour of Italy, cooking tour in Italy, guided tour on Rome Italy, tour in Florence Italy, Italy self tour, Italy art tour, first class tour of Italy, insight tour Italy, discount Italy tour, tour of Italy by student, Milan Italy tour, Italy sightseeing tour, trip to Italy tour"> <meta name="description" content="Limousine service in Italy and chauffeured tours in Tuscany, Florence, Rome, Venice, Naples Milan, Amalfi coast and all over Italy - Car rental service with driver for Italy tours in limo, Italy and Tuscany wine tours transfers to and from Civitavecchia port and to and from Livorno"> Code (markup): 5.

you are very kind, minstrel, to lose all this time for me , fisrt of all! I know that the site it's ugly and seem not to be optimized! Also because it was a preesistent site, and I must make only the optimization! quite to force the scrolling with the mouse and you will find other tests ... and then for this keys, just to take few, "Limousine Service in Italy" "Limousine Service in Rome", "Limousine Service in Venice",... "chauffeur Service in Italy", "chauffeur Service in Tuscany", "chauffeur Service in Florence".... I am first in yahoo.it, on the contrary in yahoo.com I am not neither in the fisrt 100 positions! And all this considerations I can do indipendently if I did a good work! It would be more correct if I was for example 300° in yahoo.it and 400° in yahoo.com but first in .it and 400 in .com it's really strange, also becouse, I repeat, the potential concorrents are only in Italy and therefore the same number x both in .it and in .com! It's a thing that will me crazy However thank you again for you patience, minstrel
