RE: FN-FORUM Online Marketing (was firewalls)

The UK version of google filters by domain, so only .uk sites get returned,
its a tricky one, if you submit your .co.uk domain to google there is a damn
good chance they will remove you totaly for duplicate content (mirror
sites). You have to basicly decide where your market place is... if its UK
only then start on the UK domain (most UK engines do not display .com sites)
if your market is world wide the stay with the .com
If your market place is both then 'fire up' the uk domain and only submit to
to UK engines but NOT google. Then make sure that a site you know in google
(one of your mates sites perhaps) links to the .co.uk domain. This way
googlebot will find your .co.uk site by itself and you stand less chance of
being accused of duplicte content.
One other point, google.co.uk defaults to worldwide search... so it may not
be effecting you to hard, but certainly uk based engines will not be listing
you and that must be painful (traffic wise)

Mike, may I pick your brains too?
My site, textwizard.com, has been listed on Google (currently no.8 or
9 for 'copywriting') for a good six months -- but only on the
worldwide listings. No matter what I do, I can't get it onto the UK
listing. What's the secret? If I start using textwizard.co.uk
(currently idle), would that give me a better chance of a UK listing?
