Rackspace UK Cloud IP - Traceroute

shehzad Subscriber last edited by

Hello,

I recently moved to rackspace and before i signed made sure with them that i would get a UK based IP. It is a Cloud hosting solution.

I have checked with whois and a few other sites and the IP is being shown as US, they asked me to do a traceroute and it shows up in the UK:

http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=trace&host=164.177.146.74

can anyone confirm if this is UK based and ok from an seo point of view as we are targeting a UK audience.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you

Shehzad

Targeting by IP Address... SEO Issues?

I'm setting up a site to display a different site header graphic depending on which U.S. State the IP address is coming from. In theory we may end up doing 50 different images, although we'll probably start with 4 or 5 and then the other states will get a "default". How will the SE's treat this... if it's just an image change, but the text on the page is the same, will it affect anything? Any best practice advice out there? thanks!

Best Google Practice for Hacked SIte: Shift Servers/IP or Disavow?

Hi - Over the past few months, I've identified multiple sites which are linking into my site and creating fake pages (below is an example and there's over 500K+ of similar links from various sites}. I've attempted to contact the hosting companies, etc. with little success. Was wondering if my best course of action might be at this point: A) which servers (or IP address). B) Use the Google Disavow tool? C) both. example: { http://aryafar.com/crossings/200-krsn-team-part19.html } Thanks!!

UK and US Targeting Simultaneously - Domain Setup and Duplicate Content?

I have a site that will be targeting the US and the UK. However, it will need to display slightly different content to the two. Should I use a .co.uk and a .com, or uk.themainsite.com for the UK, or themainsite.com/UK? This is of course setting up multiple country targeting within Google Webmaster Tools. Am I likely to run into duplicate content issues?

Looking to rank a .co.uk domain in the USA

Hello Mozzers, One of my clients sites is "domain.co.uk" and they are looking to rank in the USA with the same domain. They are looking to change host (for unrelated reasons) and I think it may be beneficial for them to get hosting in the USA. Essentially the business is moving to the USA but they want to retain their domain name as they cannot get their hands on a domain with their company name in that is .com / .net / .org etc. . . I know that the .co.uk domain will adversely affect click through rates in the states, but there seems to be no way around this if they want their retain the company name as their domain name. Would American based hosting help them rank better for searches from the USA or is the benefit of this negligible? Net66
