Quick question about country specific organic results

Do you think that if your website is from your home country. You will rank better for some keyword even when you dont have much page authority when compared to other websites having much higher page authorities from other countries.

I work mostly for companies in Canada, for those targeting only the Canadian market (vs also US or globally) I've found webmaster tools setting for 'target users' to have the biggest most immediate effect on improving Canadian company search results from within Canada.

No offense but I dont think that having a country level domain will help me...more than that if the website is hosted in the same country and am getting more traffic from my own country I think I might get benefitted....neways... wat do you think?
-
In my opinion you still have to compete with them.. the only way i see you can out rank them is by having a country level domain like .co.in or similar!
-
I know it that other website is not from India by seeing their contact details
-
how do you know that other website is not from India.. its like they are not hosted from the Indian IP?
I think not in this case... but if you have a country specific domain then this is quite possible!
-
you dint get my point
-
Thanks @Moosa for replying. I will explain you...
If I have a website hosted in India and me and my target audience is also from India. I think I will be ranking better for a particular keyword than other websites for the same keyword which are having high PA/DA but not from India.
So things become very easy for me to rank #1 for some keyword when there is no website/competition from India.
I just wanted to confirm this thing here.
What do you think?
-
Your question is not clear to me, so you want to say that if you have an Italian based website so that you can rank better in some keywords (may be location based) against your competitors although your DA/PA is lower than the competitor…
In my experience yes! But if you have more websites from the same country then you have to compete!
-
Yes.

Localized SERP Rankings - Multiple Questions...
The Google SERPs for my keywords are pretty regional. We are in the "IT Support Company" space. I've checked with friends in other parts of the country, and we don't show up in the SERPs in other parts of the country for KWs that we are ranking for locally. Questions: 1. I see both national and local players showing up in the SERPs. Is there any kind of formula for how Google decides who gets on the first page? 2. Some of my keywords trigger Google+ listings. How long does it take to show up in Google+, assuming we're optimized appropriately, and we have earned a placement? 3. For Moz's keyword ranking tool, how does it handle regional searches? Moz's tool is going to show different KW rankings than what I will see. My immediate concerns are rankings in my area (NY Metro), but we want to go national. How do we track rankings in different areas? 4. Is it possible to be on the 1st page with Google+ and Organic listings? 5. Do the Google+ 7 packs have generally better, or worse CTRs than similarly placed organic listings?

Would buying the domain 'howtoget-a-girlfriend.com' help organically
for the exact search 'how to get a girlfriend' in google? How-to-get-a-girlfriend.com and howtogetagirlfriend.com are taken, so I just wanted to see if this was close enough to help google.

How to Safely Scrape Google Results?
I've built a couple of small tools that I use personally, maybe 2 or 3 times per day. Both tools scrape the top 10 results from Google and provide more details about each domain (like the SEOMoz Keyword Difficulty Tool). Google seem to have banned my IP address for automated searches... can anyone tell me a safe way of scraping the google results? Is there a suitable API for this? How do SEO Moz do this on such a huge scale?

Question regarding back link analysis and anchor text
Hello, I am looking at my competitors back link analysis and comparing a range of link based metrics from the top 10 SERPS. I am then putting this data into excel and comparing our back link profiles. When looking at the anchor text distribution i am not sure whether to look at exact match anchor or phrase match anchor. For example, one of the companies I am looking at holds positions 3 and 4 in the SERPS. Looking at their linking profile I can see that only 1.7% of their links use the exact match anchor 'widget'. Looking at their phrase match anchor is an entirely different story, 93.5% of anchor links contain 'widget' somewhere. i.e. 'cheap widgets', 'widget sale', 'buy widgets at www.examplewidget.co.uk' etc. Obviously their exact match and phrase match anchor distribution tell a completely different story. THIS IS TRUE FOR MANY OF THE TOP 10 SERPS. Therefore, should I be looking at phrase match anchors instead of exact? Side note: would people recommend targeting anchors with 'brandname widget' based on predictions of Google giving weighted anchor more weight. Robert.
