Hi All
I have a site which is a .com domain. my sites targets people in the UK
what are the benefits SEO wise of having a .com or .co.uk domain - and would it be worth me changing my site over to .co.uk domain
i know .com will naturally rank in the US search engines - but would it benefit me to have.co.uk
cheers everyone
.co.uk will surely help with UK traffic, but to be honest I`m not sure how much ... so it depends on your situation.
1. Do you want to target UK exclusively? Or do you want to target a global audience with focus on Uk? (in this case I`d keep .com)
2. Do you have an established website / brand?
If you keep .com, make sure to select UK as the target geolocation in Google Webmaster tools (if you haven`t already)
What are your future plans? do you want general English speaking traffic from EU, Aus etc? what type of site is it?
Go for the .com and target it to the UK. If then in the future you want to expand the audience of your site you can easily.
