Dear Kalena…
Since last few days I am getting very strange result in Google SERP for one of my client website. When I search in Google.com (India) it given good result with compare to Google.com (US – I am checking through remote server). My target country is US and I am working to improve rankings in Google.com (US). I am having sound knowledge to get listed in geographic result and i have already fixed below things before 5 months. – Hosting server is in US – Google webmaster tool geotarget section is US – Google local listing in US – Maximum back links from .com domain Now my query is, why i am getting such strange result. What are the ways to get better rankings in Google.com (US)? I really appreciate your reply Thanks

Hi Jignesh,
This is an interesting question. As you are aware, when you make a search under Google, your physical location can influence the search results. Google does this on the basis of the geographic location of your IP address – which is normally (but not always) reasonably accurate. By using the remote server you should be seeing search results as they would appear in the USA – even though you are in India.
It sounds as if you have done many of the right things as far as optimising for the US market. It is not clear from your question whether this has changed recently or whether you have only recently compared the results. I also don’t know the keyword phrases you are using – which makes an assessment of the cause difficult. But I would suggest that either the keyword phrases you’ve used are much less competitive in India, than the US (and may achieve higher rankings in India) – or that even though you have got backlinks from .com domains – perhaps a significant proportion of them are hosted in India.
As far as tips for getting better rankings for Google.com in the US – just keep doing what you are doing – good quality, unique, keyword rich content, and authoritative backlinks.

I did watch your vids,…..and i liked it,… I have a problem perhaps you can help
me wit.
I live in an Caribbean island called Aruba.
we dont have a google.aua or something like that we do have only google.com
I am a new adwords marketer. I make my first niche and the problem starts that i cannot see
how many advertiser I am competing with in the US.
Do you know a good program that can give me to whom I am competing regarding country (Either in the US, UK, Afrika) or territories?? showing their ads and if possible aslo there CPC? doesnt matter in where I am?
My problem is that I cannot see my competition and google keeps telling me to raise my CPC but I wont pay more than 4dollars per click just to go on the first page! that is why I want to see who and how many competion there is!
hope you understand my msg and hope to hear from you soon,
