I would say that it is more important to have a direct match (keyword) domain name with a .uk inclusion. If a .co.uk or .com isn't available then any other .uk domain in my opinion would be the best way forward.

RE: For a UK business where there is no .co.uk or .com opportunity, is it better to have a .net address or would .uk.com be better? Or no difference...This company is UK focussed only.posted in Technical SEO

RE: Google Penalty?posted in Technical SEO
Hi,
I definitely think this could be one of the reasons that the rankings have been effected. If the web directories that were submitted were of a low quality in terms of domain and page ranks this could have a negative impact on rankings.
Have you used the SEO Moz tools to compare the sites top links with other competitors. This should give you a clearer picture and help you figure out if the possible low quality web directories are causing an issue?
