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>

My Question About SEO
I'm working on a new website and attempting to make it as efficient as possible. I've put it through a few scanners and have a few concerns. Is it true that having long titles is beneficial? My contact page, for example, is just titled contact, while my FAQ page is simply titled commonly asked questions. What about meta descriptions for each page? Do they still serve a purpose nowadays? Because my site title is a graphic header, having a big text title doesn't really suit with the style, the H1 tag is missing on a few pages. Is there any way to get around this?

SEO advice needed regarding Bookmark Sites
Hi all We have recently employed a SEO company. They have written some blogs and promoted the blogs on up to 20 bookmark sites. On each bookmark site the text is the same. Will Google class this as duplicate content? Is this a good idea? Any advise would be appreciated, thanks.

How many categories should you have within a blog / Wordpress Site for SEO?
Hi Guys I am just wondering whether or not for SEO purposes it is better to have a small number of categories for your blog posts to fit into as opposed to numerous ones. The reason I ask is that I have one site which is fairly new to the search engines - 8 months old which has 7 general categories within the blog for instance "rail contractors", "railway construction" "airport construction" etc I have another site which is 10 years old which has built up 25 different types of categories for instance brand design, brand development, brand management (i guess you could put all these under 1 category "branding"? We've been writing lots of press for both sites... yet the younger site is getting more coverage on Google page 1. Would this be because the blogs / press are more concentrated under a specific category as opposed to being spread thinly throughout the site? Any help would be appreciated. Debs 🙂

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

Is it important to stick to a schedule when posting blogs?
I was watching the Mozinar titled: "From Nothing to Expert: How to Blog like You Mean It" and Tanner mentions that he does not stick to a schedule when posting blogs. There will be days or even a week go by where he does not post anything because he has not found a topic worth writing about. I was under the impression that it was important to post blogs at the same time everyday, or on the same day every week. Does sticking to a regimented schedule not have benefits anymore? Are there any negative or positive effects of sticking to a schedule?

Does having blog on subdomain weaken primary site's SEO?
I have a Joomla site with a WordPress subdomain that I'm wanting to use as a learning center. It's far more simple for new blog editors and publishers to learn that over Joomla. The issue I'm facing is trying to figure out rather having the blog put into the primary domain instead of a subdomain will hurt my ratings at all? Where I got the idea that it may hurt ratings is due to how (from what I understand) search engines will see a subdomain slightly different than the primary domain. Thank you for any help!
