I have set my geographic target in google webmaster as Bangladesh (located in Asia). I am not getting much visitors since most of the people in our country dosen't have access to internet unlike India. If I set my geographic location as India, does this will improve the traffic to my site? Or it will stay the same? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ___________________________________________________________________ Bangladesh Technology Blog
This depends - it may - however if your blog is called Bangladesh Technology Blog it probably wont be of any interest to those in India, only those in Bangladesh. One thing that may make a difference - does Google have a native Bangladesh version? If so I would stick with what you have origionally. If not, go for the Indian version.
I'd suggest you not to geo target your blog. Since, Bangladesh have very less internet users, you will get very little traffic.
Hi, nasif123 I think you might have misunderstanding in the Geo targeting inside Google webmaster center. It would only reflect your sites' performance in your targeted countries or regions but not affect your SEO efforts. Have a nice day,
Does your site target audience in Bangladesh or in India ? If your blog targets Indian audience, then you may use the Geo target option in GWMTs. However, only setting this option does not mean that your site will start to rank high in India. This option [along with some other things] only helps Google to understand better about your targeted audience.
