Ranking in a specific country

[swansonjp]

Lets say  I want to rank for SEO in mexico.

Would a .mx  domain with targeted content outrank global players (SEOmoz etc) in Mexico.

The answer to your question is yes. In fact is something which is already happening in many regional Google.

The reasons are simple:

• the country level domain name of the site;
• the content in spanish (mexican spanish, to be exact)
• links from mexican websites

For targeting purposes and better locate  your online services it's better to use "Country Code TLD". Also there is another option in GWT where you can specify the target audience, look also into that.

Hope it helps,
