Ranking in a specific country
-
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,

Best techniques For EMD Ranking in 2013
OK. I know some will say "same as any other SEO". But I am keen to get one of my sites ranking for it's EMD. Nothing I do seems to be working at all. As far as I can tell it's not even in the top 100. Because the site is managed for a business, it needs income. I've managed to increase it's ranks in some low terms.

How do I make sure my homepage ranks better than my 2nd page when I need the same keywords for both? I don't want them competing against each other for keywords.
I seen here on SeoMoz something about more than one page having the same keywords so they don't compete against each other for the same keywords that makes sense to me. But I would like my main page (homepage) to be ranked better over time rather than the 2nd page or do I just not care about the second page ranking at all and don't SEO the page very well? ,Both pages have similar content so I need the keywords for both. So im very confused on what to do with the second page. Thanks in advance to any helpful answers, i am a newbie when it comes to SEO.

Keyword Ranking
Soooooo, let's just say that I put a lot of keywords into the ranking tracker. Is there an easy way to reduce this list without having to go in word by word and pause or delete them? Like is there a bulk upload type of system? Thanks!
