Is the ip address important for SEO?
-
Hello, I'm going to start a new SEO project. It must be positioned in Google EEUU, so I'm trying to get the hosting in an EE.UU provider to get an ip for EEUU.
Is it really important for SEO the ip address provided by hosting company, or it doesn't matter to get an Spanish ip-address ...
Thanks.

Thank's a lot for your help! The domain is for a market in US, so I will get .com domain. Really thanks for your help.

Maria .eu is for the European Union, usually the minimum requirement for .ca, com.au, .eu, .de etc is to have a registered organisation in that country as far as I'm aware, this is the case for a number of other ccTLD's. This is why trademarks can be important as you may not be financially in a position for it to be worth you investing in a company yet in Canada for example thus you wouldn't be able to register the domain there. Thus someone else in Canada could register it when they see your site is successful and then charge you a premium for the domain later. This is where WIPO comes in handy.
As for the original point, IP addresses do seem to make a big difference when I look at how things rank across our platform which is in the US, Singapore and Australia. Having local IP's seems to confer a noticeable benefit within the US or Europe but less so in Australia as many people host in the US. There are a lot of ways to get around this such as proxy servers and a few tools out there for this like Cloudflare (of the top of my head) however this is likely only useful if you have a lot of traffic. In my opinion it's better to invest in decent servers than location based servers when you are starting i.e. prioritize RAM and CPU speed.

I never heard that to buy a country level domain you should be the nationalist of that country and this is not true as far as my knowledge goes because I have bought different domains for different locations and never had a problem!
If you r target market is US then i would prefer you to go for .com domain but if you have any other specific country as a target then going for any ccTLD is a good idea.
hope this helps!

Thanks for your quick answer Hemaini. Now, I have antother cuestion related to the extension for domains that belongs to United States. I read in a blog, that domains ".eu" (United States), can be only buyed by people resident or nationalized in United States..
Is it true? And, can the extension of the domain for my site improve the SEO position in United States? Because the other option wouid be ".com".
Do you have any proposal?

hope this helps!

Hi Moosa,
Good to hear from you, but could you please tell me that what is Google EEUU?
-
It’s always a good practice to have a IP of the same location as it builds the trust over search engine and audience and you can easily rank for keywords you want on that location based search engine.
For example if you have a US ip and want to rank for .com.ec then it will be quite a difficult job but instead of this if you have a IP address from Ecuador and want to rank for .com.ec then its relatively easy!

I've only heard about <cite>google.eu.com</cite>

Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

Internal blog with history and some SEO value versus new external blogs with specialized content?
We operate a blog inside a folder on our site and considering the launch of 4 highly focused blogs with specialized content which are now categories on the internal blog. Wondering if there is more value in using the external new blogs or just keep growing the internal blog content. Does fact that the internal blog is buried amongst millions of pages have any impact if we want the content indexed and value given to the links from the blog content to our main site pages.

Restarting SEO when you move to different state
Hi every one, I have been working on my local citations but I have a blog which has been up for 4 years and has about 500 blog posts but I was living in NJ before and there is loads of stuff from jersey and also I have a lot of errors which is way too much to go back and fix like thousands since I am a photographer and loads of images. Would I be better off starting a new blog in my new SC region? my blog is feuzablogs.com and my main website is feuzareis.com so I thought of just doing a www.feuzareis.com/blog is it too much google juice to miss out on? is changing locations worth keeping blogging at this previous blog or should I just leave it up and start a new one which will be focused on new location? thanks

SEO for a Deal Blog
Hi, I have a deal blog that is several months old. My established and successful "competitors" have a high Domain Authority (43, 46, 63) but most of their blog posts are very short. Our readers want to know about the coupon, deal, discount, code etc - they don't want 250 + words for each post. However I am concerned that lots of short posts will label my blog as low quality and that Google Panda will get me. My competitors easily get on page 1 of google. Yes they also write articles but majority of their posts are short. I deindexed quite a few short blog posts but my audience googles for coupons and deals like crazy. I try to give as much info as I can without being wordy and annoying but sometimes that still gets me only 100 words. I also write a lot of articles relevant to my niche (mom/baby/maternity) that are high quality and several hundred words. Just looking for input on deal blog SEO. Thanks!
