I am right now in the process of optimizing my site for a phrase on Google. My site has PR of 4 and the phrase wasn't that competitive with monthly global search volume < 1,000,000. Now that I've worked on it for a few days, I am seeing my site ranked inconsistently across different regions via different interfaces. e.g My site will come up on the top 20 when queried on Google.com with English, top 5 on Google.co.kr with English, entirely missing from the ranking on Google.ca. Since I want to target those three markets, I am a bit confused. Does anyone know how each Google country ranking is affected? Your insight will be much appreciated
It's not inconsistency after all. I guess they update their search results every now and then to provide quality results to users. Good luck!
even google is not accurate and there is no such thing.. that's pretty normal.. since google have different data centers that could shows different results..
Ive always referred to it as the "google dance" Its natural since google updates its results pretty steadily, especially with newer sites (less than 1 year old). As for ranking on google.ca......try submitting to article directories that are .ca (ex. ezinearticles.ca if there is one). I did this to target UK visitors with good results. Hope that helps!
