Hello Friends


I just wanted to know if the google search results depend on geographical location where the content is created. I mean content created in US has more significance than that created somewhere else?


Thanks

Nothing personal, but that's about the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard about Google results.

Ranking on the front page of google can be easy. You just have to know a few simple things. You can rank on goolge maps.

I have never ever heard about such thing. This is first time i have come acorss with such information.

Google results are trying to give you results dependent on your ip, ie if I use google.co.th and search for news, this is Thailands google search engine, its not going to give me cnn and bbc as the first results which is what I get using a google server farm in the USA.

Google does use the user location among many other criteria. But it's not the 'one and all' for ranking. Google tries to give relevant SERPs depending on your user trending, location, preferences and such like.

Try some resources to learn more. matt cutts, search engine land, seo boy, seomoz are some I follow regularly.

ranking in Google results have nothing to do with where the content was made it is what your content matters and how you promote your site.

Google customizes the SERPs (search results) according to the location of the user. That means (for instance) that SERPs in the UK may be different from SERPs in USA or in Australia.

Those differences consist of a better ranking of the "local" sites. For instance, a better ranking of sites located in the UK in SERPs in UK.

The location of a site has nothing to do with the place where the content has been created.

Google and most search engines fix location of a site on basis of the following rules:
1. As for sites with a country TLD (.fr, .co.uk, .in, .es, ..), the site is located in the country of the TLD.
For instance, a site with .co.uk is supposed to be located in the UK even if it is hosted in India and its content is provided by a French company.

2. As for sites with a generic TLD (.com, .net. org, .info,..), the site is supposed to be located in the country where the site has been hosted. So a site .com hosted in India may be better ranked in India than in other countries, even if its content has been created in the USA or UK.

3. Since the hosting place may be irrelevant, Google allows only owners of sites with generic TLD to fix another target country in the google webmaster account.
