    I have website with .com domain. at the very start of project this

    website is giving very good result at google.com. this time it was

    hosted at US hosting. client want result at google.co.uk . so i move it

    at UK hosting and it was strated result at UK only result but still it

    is giving good result at google.com than google.co.uk .

    I have idea to register new domain with.co.uk and 301 redirect from

    .com to .co.uk for increasing UK traffic.

    i just want you people opinion.

    there is no problem with .com sites ranking in google.co.uk, although co.uk sites do have a slight advantage so your 301 redirect might help

    in google webmasters you can specify the target audience (ie UK) for your site

    hosting location does seem to still play a role

    source of inbound links is also important - you want links from the UK and UK hosted sites and .co.uk sites
