More USA traffic than UK.
-
Hi there, I have a site www.nut-job.com and I am currently getting more traffic from the USA than uk. Is there anyway of not getting listed in the USA and telling google that the site is a UK site?

Hey,
Yeah my webmaster is already set to focus on UK visitors

<quote>Do you have Google Adwords? You can change the settings in there to just focus on UK searchers and not US</quote>
I think what is meant Google Webmaster Tools, see https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en
There you can change the setting "Geographic target". Should be located at https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/settings?hl=en&siteUrl=http://www.nut-job.com/
If you don't have an account, I would suggest to create one.

Hi Oliver,
Thanks for all those tips, I think I am going to implement them now. I am re-starting my link building strategy so will try and and get some more .co.uk links.
Unfortunately I don't own the .co.uk or that would have been a great shout!
Thanks for your help!

Hi Michelle
Try;
- adding Google Places to your website
- In your website I would add in to your contact page UK in the address as Google uses the address details within a website to identify where the business is based
- changing the language in the source code from US to either English UK or just English.
- It would also be worth looking at getting a broader range of UK based links as when I did a quick link check many of them seemed to be .com.
- Can you get hold of the URL www.nut-job.co.uk and redirect traffic from that to your .com site?
- Do you have Google Adwords? You can change the settings in there to just focus on UK searchers and not US
Hope that helps

What would the US traffic increase be for a website YoY if all Google SERP rankings remained the same?
This question has come up a few times with some of our clients and I've spent some time researching this question, but I can't find an answer online so hopefully, someone at MOZ has this data available to them with all the data they collect. The data points that would be needed to answer this question off the top of my head: Increase in the # of Google Searches in the US YoY The decrease in CTR for organic results "10 blue links" which take a searcher off of Google YoY, as Google continues to keep more searchers on Google.com with rich snippets, increased AdWords prominence, AdWords extensions, etc I'm sure this greatly varies per industry, but an average for all industries is all that is needed to answer this client question. Many thanks in advance and I've included a video which hopefully helps to better explain the search "plus/minus" that we can expect to see as SEOs in 2018. WF1yLlJC6LetnpbD3

Free Tool that allows you to compare traffic for multiple websites
I'm banging my head on this one. In the past I was able to use Compete.com, Quancast, Google Trends, and Alexa, but now all these sites either required you to have Pro membership (pay) or they discontinue it like Google Trends for website. I need to do this comparison for one of my client... their traffic versus 4 of their competitors. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Have a blessed Day, Benny

Strange traffic.
We are a norwegian bakeshop (sykkelkompaniet.no) and we have started getting a lot of direct traffic from Miami and Chico. Wondering why, and suspect that someone is trying to hack our system. Any suggestions? We have never been in Chico or in Miami... and we don't spend anything on marketing so far, furthermore we don't ship to the US. The traffic is about 800 unique hits a day.

Noticed Bing UK and Yahoo UK are almost exactly the same ranking results?
I've run a few keyword ranking updates today and I've noticed that Bing UK and Yahoo UK results are almost exactly the same? This is unusual, the results for these two engines rarely tally with one another. Is anyone seeing the same?

Surge in Yahoo! organic traffic?
Recently a domain I manage shot up in rankings for many industry related keywords in Yahoo! It only lasted for two days, but durring that time we saw about 300% increase in organic traffic. Durring that time we were spending a lot of money in paid ads. Can anyone explain the sudden surge in Yahoo! organic traffic and rankings? Could there have been traffic from our paid ads that tracked to organic search? We use Google analytics and an in-house tracking system that both showed the same trends.

Does a .com stop a UK visitor?
Hi, If a E-commerce website based in the UK (and selling products only to the UK) have a .com domain will this stop UK visitors? I kind of getting the feeling some potential visitors might not visit because they feel the website is not UK based because they see the .com. Anyone else had any experience with this?
