Google not showing my website ?

[sherohass]

The website is medicare.md. if you search for term "medicare doctors PG county maryland" it is #1 in bing and yahoo but not even showing on google.com first TEN pages, although not banned.

Interestingly if you do that search on google.co.pk it is #4.

Quite Puzzuling !!

Would appreciate any help or advice .

Hi,

Can not really reconsider another domain as primary MEDICARE with correct spelling is restricted to Government entities (.gov,.com,.net) my only chance to get it with exact spelling was to opt for .md extention.

But will for sure  utilize Geo targeting.

Thanks

I would personally reconsider the use of .md as the primary domain, although I think it would be appropriate for a vanity URL to use in offline advertisements, etc., that redirects to your website.

Google does not just use the Geotarget data:

Also, Google does not explicitly list .md in its list of ccTLDs that are considered generic:

In the above link, scroll down to this section:

Generic Country Code Top Level Domains (gccTLDs)

I'm not guaranteeing you that this is a problem, but I'm saying I would personally reconsider it if the site is still fairly NEW.

FYI you are showing on international versions of Google because of the .md (moldova, as Casey mentioned) extension.  Here in Oz you're 9th for the search you mentioned.  So you are showing up internationally because you have an international domain.  I would suggest the "target users in the US" box as well.  You may want to get some local citation listings if you can for Maryland, as well.  That could geo-locate you in the "maryland" MD instead of Moldova, at least for Google's purposes.

I'm sure you may be aware that .md domain extension is for Moldova(apparently a country in Europe) which could explain your high ranking on that international Google site.

I would check Google Webmaster Tools under "Configuration > Settings" and make sure the "Target users in:" is set to United States.
