Geo-target a domain for 2 countries, how?

Hi everyone,
I have a website, which i recently targeted to google.nl, the bad part of this story is; the ranking in google.com has gone bad. Now, I have also other websites, actually many, which have Suriname and Holland as focus. People in Suriname don’t use google.nl much, and people in Holland don’t use google.com much, I want my rankings to be good in both situations.

Is there any suggestions on how to geo-target to these two? And please, save me the ‘you have to make 2 websites for two countries – talk’ as that is not really a solution in my case.

How can I geo-target my domain to two different countries, so they can be found very good in local Google search results?

Thanks in advance.

 

Thats a very narrow view of how to easily fix the problem.

 

Make a subdomain - or, alternatively - use 2 webmaster accounts

 

Make your website with 2 languages.

Sure, if you are targeting Holland a .nl domein will help, but it's only a small factor to get a domainname of the country you are targeting. Same goes for Suriname.

To put it in other words, a .com website in the Dutch language will score better then a .nl in the English language if Holland is what you are targeting.

Have different titles if the page is display in a different language.

Good luck!

 

BTW, There are 2 links in your signature that don't work.

It helps to get that right!

 

get 1 way links to your site from these 2 regional ip based countries...

 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and help.

@ seo_watchdog: I have also been thinking to use two different webmaster accounts. Don’t know if that can cause any problems though.

@ soolman: the local language here in Suriname is Dutch also, and also I checked my signature. The links seem to be working nice.

@ free bet: thanks for the advice.

 

The links "Appartementen Suriname" and "Vakantie verblijf Suriname" have 3 slashes in the URL : http:///www.silvionsapartments.com
Doesn't work for my browser (IE 7.0)

 

That's weird. I see 2 slashes only, and it opens fine here with my IE 7.0.

 

Get back link from the authority site on both countries will be a good idea.

 

This is what I see in the source code :

<a href="http:///www.silvionsapartments.com" target="_blank">Appartementen Suriname</a> | <a href="http:///www.silvionsapartments.com" target="_blank">Vakantie verblijf Suriname</a>

Your other 2 links in the signature are ok. You might just want to check you signature in the User Control Panel. Because I don't think it's helping you.

@ seo watchdog:

I tested that feature, by using 2 different webmaster accounts, but that doesn’t work. When you change in account B (suppose you have two accounts, one called A and another one called B), the country to e.g. X, it automatically changes in account A to X.
