    Hi All,

    A quick question that I wanted to get peoples views on.

    Basically I have a .com site lets say for the purpose of this question this is www.example.com.

    If I want this site to rank highly in both the UK and also the US would I need to do anything differently? Like different link building for the UK and the US or would the same fundamentals apply to help gain rankings in each country?

    Hope that makes sense! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

    Thanks
    Jbone

    Yes, You have to something different for both website. To get back links you have to first search country based directory list, classifieds, event posting, business listing sites, yellow pages and local search engine friendly directory list. After that you can post your URL and get back link from relevant country sites.

    There are also the general terms that are used worldwide, if you pick keyword that is global you don't need to bother about this.
