    1.) Does your site end in .com or .co.uk?
    2.) What market are you targeting (or what market are you in)?

    Where is the site physically hosted?

    Where are you physically searching from?

    Yes it does...

    It will of course be biased toward a US audience.

    Think about it...If you were in the UK, wouldn't you prefer sites to come up that are from the UK?

    Especially in ECommerce where they are more likely to accept your currency and ship to you.

    lol :) I also find it harder the other way around.

    We are optimizing a .co.uk and of course we are doing really well in Yahoo UK but are having to work our a$$ off for the .com SERPS.
