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?

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>

New sister site VS site redesign and dangers of SEO dilution??
Hi I’ve got a site that is ranking #2 in my area for my chosen keyword but the site is in need of an expansion and overhaul its only one page at the moment and to rank for more keywords its need to be expanded. Or another option is I do own another domain and I was thinking of maybe instead of overhauling the new site launching that as a sister company aimed more at the corporate market, as my first site is a bit more alternative in domain name and content. The thing is i'm not sure how this will affect my SEO they will be on the same CBlock and be offering similar services.

SEO All in One Not Showing Up
I am working at a company that has had SEO All in One installed on our Wordpress blog for awhile, but the Meta data is not being published. When looking at a draft of the post the fields are automatically filled with the blog post (I would like the possibility of manually changing the meta sometimes). However, regardless of that the Meta titles, etc.. on the live site are blank and don't use what is written in the SEO All in One pack at all. Any suggestions for me? Thanks!

Blog Anchor Text SEO Query
Apologies if the following is a basic question but I am just starting out with SEO and I have seen this quite a lot recently on sites I have been on. My question is if you have a self hosted blog e.g. blog.site.com or site.com/blog and you use keyword anchor text in your blog post does that bring SEO benefits in itself or does the blog post have to be shared/commented by readers to have an effect? I have seen/heard of many sites spending a lot of money getting copy done or spending their own time and resources starting a blog but the blogs remain unshared or comment-less. I am starting my own blog to go with my social media and website so I wanted to establish the basics. Thanks in advance guys.
