    Hi there,
    We had a website for our country Malaysia and with certain keyword it rank in number 1 and number 2 Google.com.my, but in Google.com, it does not appear at all,
    What actually make the different and how can I improve the visibility in Google.com and maintain the result in Google.com.my?

    Please provide us some idea

    The ranking is different because google.com.my is for Malaysia.

    It's probably because you're using a Malaysian webhosting company, or because of the source of backlinks for your website. Maybe you can try by using a webhosting like hostgator or bluehost. And you might want to submit some articles to article directories like ezinearticles.com and articlesbase.com to improve your ranking on google.com

    to be honest,
    We build our backlink more toward worldwide backlink, and it is not much on local directory or backlink. and we also do lot article submit to ezinearticles.com and other world article submission.

    But we had no idea why it still cant rank well into Google.com, Maybe as what you had say, the hostgator hosting. But any try or real case study in before?
    Is that mean if we shift our hosting, Google.com will have appearance into Google.com?

    thanks

    If it's a .my it won't rank too well in google.com but will in Google.com.my

    Check your webmaster tools account if you have one see if it will let you change your target area.

    No, it has nothing to do with your hosting company, that is just insane.

    What you aren't considering is that the competition in malaysia is a lot smaller than it is globally. How many results show up in your search for whatever keyword you're targeting, locally and globally?

    Just get more backlinks!

    Google.com always shows the results from Worldwide but Google.com.my is Malaysian local listing. So if you are advertising at locally then it will show only local listing but if you are targeting globally google.com
