    I have no ideas on this result. I have a domain register under Malaysia address but I host my web site at USA hosting. Google rank my search result higher at google.com.my than google.com. Isn't google search ranking is base on location of hosting instead of domain registration address?

    If you have Malaysa domain extension Google will rank you higher on Malaysa search.

    Hosting location has less influence then domain extension.

    What is your main site language?
    Where your backlinks come from?

    Either your site has a Malaysia extension, or it is in English. Or it has quite a lot of Malaysia related keywords.

    hosting place can influence your ranking. It is better to change hosting to USA.

    This is because you have a Malaysian domain - both factors are considered when ranking sites. :)

    I agree.....a malaysia domain is not going to rank on the main google site unless their are no other results or our site has a lot of links from us based sites

    local domain extension has great influence on ranking in local server google. if you have .com it will be rank in general regardless location of server.

    Yes you should look at SubmitWolf as it can target link building as well as country specific engines. If you want to reach out to other domains other than .com then this is a very good tool. Registering other coountry domains opens up more google ranks as each site is treated as it's own. Again your starting out fresh and rankings take some time. Using Submit Wolf with new sites I have been able ot get google rank 4 within 2-3 months. Not bad.

    I think you need to figure out, whom you are targetting. If you are targetting globally, USA hosting will help you. But if its Malaysia, your target, you are in the right track....

    Read properly.his site is hosted at USA only domain has .com.my perhaps.

    I suggest you do the following:

    1) Get more backlinks from .com domains and not local .com.my domains.
    2) Avoid anchor text as "malaysia" in as keyword.

    this case i think because of the content in your site. local SE will give more weigh to site that related to their language or country. dont forget that google pay more attention to "relevancy" so I think that's should be it.

    Google wants webmasters to use correct TLDs. So if you want to target US customers, get a .com domain, if you want to target UK customers, get a co.uk domain. Links within the same country TLD are more valuable than links across TLDs.
    So, to maximize the position of your site in malaysia, build links from .my sites.
