Hello, One of my site is ranking very well for all its keywords if I check the results from India on Google.com; but if I check the results from US IP, I am way behind at 400 +. Is there any specific reason why Google would not rank my site on Google Global?? From what I have read on different websites, Google is giving more preference to local results. Although I've targeted the keyword "india" with different keywords, the main target area is USA. Any expert help or tip would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
I would suggest you go for Global resources and not India specific resources to get links for your website
Google main concern is to satisfy searchers' queries. If the bots think your content is not as relevant as others based on geo targetting then it's possible that your pages will rank high in certain geographic areas and not at all in others. If I'm in Bangalore using google to search for an ObGyn, I will not be satisfied if the search engine results are full of US ObGyns. So I know Google in particular are making an extra effort to make results as relevant as possible for the Searcher. Hope this helps
I say if it's not broke don't fix it! Continue to target India Customers if You already have the ranking! Think about it I'm an american marketer too! Do Not Forget the #1 Rule! Promote what They want Not what You Want! If it sells in India, Keep it that way!! Collect More India Poducts and Prospects!! Eventually it Will make it through to U.S. Queries.
I think this is because of improper SEO. You or any other person did not take in mind that this site is to international. You just made the site for India. You can use some of my methods to get higher ranking in SE's. Click on 2nd link in my siggy.
There are lot of factors involved. If you are targetting a particular region it will be better to have the country's extension in domain name, host it in the same country and the like. Don't use India as anchor text if your target audience are from US.
IMO, google has restricted the serp in local, so if you rank well in india, but there are more websites related with you maybe rank better than you ,so you behind the others!
