Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply.

So if I understand you correctly, without specifically targeting a region using web master tools and using a region agnostic tld such as .com tells Google that this is our Global Site. As long as we leave our global site un-targeted and the regional sites targeted would be the most effective way to ensure non-regional traffic is driven to our global site.

As our sites are not multilingual, maybe the Brazilian example was not the best - however I was referring to English based queries.

With regards to your last point, no each site is a separate domain.

Thanks again for you help and advise.

Many thanks,

Jason

We have numerous versions of what is basically the same site, that targets different countries, such as United States, United Kingdom, South Africa.

These websites use Tlds to designate the region, for example, co.uk, co.za I believe this is sufficient (with a little help from Google Webmastertools) to convince the search engines what site is for what region.

My question is how do we tell the search engines to send traffic from other regions besides the above to our global site, which would have a .com TLD.

For example, we don't have a Brazilian site, how do we drive traffic from Brazil to our global .com site?

Many thanks,

Jason
