Hey Guys, I need some good suggestions here, I am working on promoting one of my .com website which targets US audience, though i am building quality links from .com websites but was just wondering if links from .us domains will benefit more than back links from .com sites, if not then how much good they can do to improve my rankings in terms of link building. Looking forward to some good advices. Thanks sally
Yes, .us will benefit more if you are comparing a .us or .com domain of the same value in Google's eyes. However, I would worry about getting any links you can form US hosted sites. In addition, you can can set your site's locational preferences to US in Google's Webmaster Tools only which will help deliver more US traffic instead of meaningless clicks outside the country that provide no return for your website.
Hi Sally, Personally I would concentrate on getting backlinks and not worry about whether they are .us or not. Focus on building links on a daily basis from a number of sources. Regards Chris
I think google considers .com US targeted as well, so there is no benefit in getting .us backlink over .com backlinks in terms of geo
Google doesn't consider .US TLD on geo basis. They do accept .COM as covering all geo and complete search results. There's no guarantee if a particular domain is getting US traffic. What if someone optimizing few keywords that are German based keyword and ranking no where to US or any other geo based search results. Try to find some sites that is attending US traffic and it is most likely to be from .com, .org, .net. It's myth that .US is consider by Google as US based domain. Hope you would be doing fine.
promote website in .us base domain also you can do one more thing try check ip of website, if website ip from USA then also you can use.
There are no google.us, only Google.com So, you can get .com and .us backlinks and target US audience.
Yes, you are right, you can search as many websites as which are dealing in .us domain, also consider taking other websites which title include US or United States or America etc.
Yes, it's good if you getting .us backlinks. But backlinks from relevant site and .com domain it's also beneficial.
