Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Can anyone advise on this please?

...  just to clarify, also, there is no Google maps listing and most of the linking URLs are GTLDs.

Google authorship is not setup and the domain not registered in either the UK or USA.....

We are speaking about the same domain - a .com.

...... thanks for your input so far.

So I've got a site - a .com, hosted in the USA with no geo target set in webmaster tools.

I'm from the UK where the site ranks no 6 for its main keyword but in the USA it's ranking no 38.

That's pretty much it!  I can't get my head around why this would be - the US market is the main market for the product/service so I am thinking maybe it's just more competitive but surely many of the sites ranking in the States would be in the UK too.

....  it's such a difference in rank!

PS, the site was no 14 in google.com until penguin 2.0 but dropped although its .co.uk ranking has remained - another thing that has left me dumb founded!

The website is www.options-trading.com and the keyword is "options trading".

Any ideas?!
