It’s not a real top level domain if you get mydomain.gb.com. That incurs at least a slight penalty over mydomain.com.

Very interesting read Roger. I cannot believe how many sites I see with a full 20 lines of Meta tags in the head section of the HTML!

I have also noted that with one of my domain, bestessays.us.com It has never been indexed by Google or MSN. Even direct typing of the address in the Google search box does not work

Comment on The Truth About Personalised Google Search Results & How This Affects SEO by Bolton SEO

Great analogy with the plumber reference and gives a good example of how personalised search can affect search results.

I don’t think it has changed much for SEO’s anyway, other than that the client may occasionally see different results to them when checking rankings.

I can’t believe the Tories were running that Adwords campaign, it was hardly going to convert any Gordon Brown followers and turn them into the next Cameron supporters was it? Just another waste of our money imo.

I think it has been proven time and time again that politicians should stay away from social media, the young Labour candidate that got fired a couple of weeks ago being just one example.

Hi there. Also worth mentioning (although I don't think you mention it here) is the grass-roots Rage Against the Machine Lib Dem group on Facebook. This and others (e.g. Positive Voting, Geek the Vote) alongside the slightly more official Labservative campaign, feel - to me - much more vibrant than other parties' attempts to dabble in social media. Whether that's fake political parties aired on webcameron or Labour constantly constantly trying to get the hashtag #changewesee off the ground.

Comment on .gb.com Domains Face Extreme Penalty in Google, are us.com, uk.com Safe For SEO? by VwPete

Hi sorry for the late response, but I can confirm that I moved my site from .gb.com to a .com, and wow I am now on the 1st page for my domain name and many many keywords. To be clear I changed nothing other than the domain name.

An interesting point I use Google web master tools and I wanted to use the change of address function to let Google know I have moved to the new .com address. But guess what it won’t let me! It says that change of address is restricted to root level domains only. To be clear my domain is lca.gb.com.

Anyways I put a 301 redirect in and have just deleted the account in webmaster tools

Thanx for your help
