Why international traffic is much higher than US traffic? I own the site of calculation. This site mainly targets US visitors. For example, the mortgage calculator is on USD, take home pay calculator, salary calculator, inflation calculator are for US only. Most of the international visitors find it useful too. This site is very SEO friendly and has good page rank of 6. The server of this site is located in US. One weird situation I am facing is that most of the traffic of this site is from UK! UK visitors are 4 times the US visitors. For example, this site ranks second if search for “calculator†in google UK. However I can not find it anywhere in top 1000 in google.com! I remembered that when I purchased this domain a year ago, this domain still rank in top 10 if search “calculator†in google.com. How come, after intensive development and SEO, it ranking much lower now? This really confused me. Any ideas or suggestions of bringing the SERP up in google US is appreciated.
you can change the targeted country from google webmasters tools. You can choose the country you are targetting and let google work on it.
the reason is the rank...as you state the UK is top 5, keep in mind to get high quality backlinks from USA IPs...(niche related)
