Google Finds New Zealand Websites
-
Ok my VPS is in America and all my websites with .co.nz have been found by google but luggagenz.com doesn't come up...
I then realised that all my websites are classed as american... umm how do I change this without moving my vps?

The geotargeting in WMT should take care of it, but also make sure you include your local address on the site with microformatting, google map(s) if applicable and the country name listed globally like in the footer if possible, as additional indicators.

Hi Michael,
If you don't want to move VPS then simply you can change your target country to NZ in webmaster tool so Google can recognize that your site is target for NZ . So for that you no need to change your hosting server because many people use .com extensions but they set their target country as UK if they want to rank in UK.

Hi Michael,
When I check google.co.nz the website luggagenz.com shows up.
When the extension is .co.nz the sites will be classed by google as NZ. Checkout webmastertools --> Configuration --> Settings --> Geographic target

Google News Sitemap
Currently for our website Thinkdigit, we are using a rss sitemap (http://www.thinkdigit.com/google_sitemap/news_rss.php) for news. Please let me know is this the right format or we should use xml format only. Also we have lost a huge chunk of traffic from news search, Previously it used to be around 10,000 visit from google news, now it is just 300 visit per day.

Google not pulling my favicon
Several sites use Google favicon to load favicons instead of loading it from the Website itself. Our favicon is not being pulled from our site correctly, instead it shows the default "world" image. https://plus.google.com/_/favicon?domain=www.example.com Is the address to pull a favicon. When I post on G+ or see other sites that use that service to pull favicons ours isn't displaying, despite it shows up in Chrome, Firefox, IE, etc and we have the correct meta in all pages of our site. Any idea why is this happening? Or how to "ping" Google to update that?

Why are Google search results different if you are log'd into Google or not?
I get different results when I'm log'd into my Google account associated with my website than if I'm not. The same country is occurring. So how can I rely on the google results I'm seeing? For instance my site is page 1 with the improvements I made based on SEOMOZ if I'm log'd in. Yet I'm not on the first 25 pages if I'm not logged in.

Changing to a new Google Analytics Profile - Will I lose my history?
Hello, I have a new client and due to issues with the way the original Google Analytics account was set up, the owner won't make me an admin. So, I'm forced to create a new GA profile. I'm about to update my Campaign, but wonder if the data SEOMoz has accumulated over the last few weeks will disappear, or if it will just look forward with the new GA account? Any advice is most appreciated. ~Robin
