Google's Geographic Targeting Tool

    Hi,

    Google’s Webmaster Geographic Targeting Tool states that my ecommerce.co.uk website is associated with the UK and that I can not change this because it is a co.uk domain, even though we ship our products worldwide

    1. Does this mean that I will never be able to geographically target my products outside of the UK as well as I can to people searching for my products from within the UK?

    2. How does this affect the extent to which I can market my products outside of the UK via organic listings?

    3. How does this affect the extent to which I can be found by people searching outside of the UK

    4. How do I change the Geographic Targeting settings for my co.uk site?

    Thanks

    Jimbob

    NOP it's not like that! It only help in getting a better rank in the regional search .. like . . for me "hindi ringtones" gave me a better rank in google.co.in BUT my site surely gets listed in google.com/co.uk etc etc

    For co.uk I guess you will have to select UK as country list
