Google US Search Listings Versus Google Canada

January 5th, 2010 Posted in SEO
I was reviewing my traffic logs this afternoon and I noticed a couple of my sites have risen up the ranks to number 3 on their key respective search term on Google — Canada? Hmmm…when I look at the main Google US site the websites in question are ranking 8 and 11. Not bad mind you, but why would Google Canada think so much more highly of these domains than its US counterpart when they are hosted in the US and there is nothing Canada specific about them (they are pretty generic and all country friendly actually)? Google’s search algorithm is the ultimate black box so who knows for sure, but I did run across this interesting article breaking down what could be influencing its decision at NVI Solutions. Check it out.
