Why I hate Google... :(

[TcM]

Well first of all I use google and love it, but today it really freaked me! I was watching my business directory traffic and I saw that I'm on the second page of Google for the keywords 'Business Directory' but as you know Google has the google.com google.pl google.com.mt google.be and more extensions, so my problem with google is that on some extensions it's on the second page (13th place) and on some extensions example .com I can't find it! all I know is that it was on the 3rd/4th page (from my traffic analysis) but now I can't find it.. Why is that?

Perhaps this has something to do with the different countries linking to your site?

[TcM]

You think so? Well I don't know if that does really effect it, so you think that Google bot makes website to ip, and ip to country and then positions your website according to the country....??

[NeedHelp]

Could be, the algorithm Google uses is complex but you'd think if you ranked 1 in one country you'd rank one in the next.....

[Sionofdarkness]

As NeedHelp said, Google's algorithm is complex, and sometimes it's hard to understand why some things are what they are. Also, there might just be an error; there's bound to be some as the web is so huge.

[TcM]

Well at least it is good to be on the second page of the .com (USA) Google for a huge keyword!!

Are you getting many visits from it?

[TcM]

Well not much.. a few uniques daily... but I'm working hard in improving this!! plus getting some advertisers (although sometimes I'm too lazy)

Hey there,

Google has many datacenters all over the world. Depending on how often your webpages change, these datacenters may have different snapshots of your website, and therefore basing your rankings off different on-page factors.

The more often your website updates as well as other websites in your niche, the more erratic the search results are going to be across different datacenters.

If you want to improve rankings, work on getting quality content and quality backlinks to your quality content

Good luck.
