Setting up two sites with very similar content for different regions in anlaytics...?

    Hey all,

    got a bit of a puzzler. I used to look after a site with a region selector with multiple regions

    We now have two different sites, but the content is largely the same. right now it seems like only the original site is showing up in searches.

    Site1.com - for US and rest of the world
    Site2.co.uk - aimed at the UK only

    I'm a bit rusty on this, but isn't there a way I can set the sites up in anlaytics or WM tools so the UK site shows up for UK searches?

    Thanks in advance for any input :confused

    Both sites are in Wordpress by the way

    As far as I remember, Google Webmaster Tools allows you to select a language for a site. I understand that both sites are in English, so you've a tough nut to crack here, unless GWT gives you a choice between BrE and AmE.

    Analytics have nothing to do with which site comes up for searches.

    Google Analytics has nothing to do with setting up websites to show in a specific search results. You should try Geo-targeting in GWT.
