    Hi all

    I just noticed Google Australia changed algo last night and are promoting .com.au domains over .com .org, etc even a .co.nz,went past me, for crying out loud,. :eek:

    i have a new site www.australianhorse.org and dropped back 4 spots last night just to let country of origin domains go past, dam it, my US datacenter results are the same ie: googlerankings, other dot.com's are gone and the top 10 are now all .com.au bar one .org and one .edu and they both dropped as well,

    Has anyone from the US or anywhere else . uk .ca .in etc, noticed there countries top level domains move up as well or is it just in Australia?

    is it a new algorithm to keep it origin focused? or even more money to the domain name company's

    Kindest regards
    Phillip aka philski

    well, i noticed that searching google.pt i'm #2 and google.com i'm #9.
    but i have a .pt (portuguese) tld. so, guess big G gives more weight in country tld's IF you're using google."country".
