Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for the reply and it was very useful. I will talk to my SEO consultant about  canonicals and geo-taregtting (through Webmaster) and see how we can implement it.

Best,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I agree that my SEO is not good enough currently. But that is precisely the reason I and so many other are here asking questions so that we can do better SEO with the SEOmoz community's inputs.

My holiday website http://seekandhide.in/ was completed and went live in Feb 2012.

Last month I got 83% traffic from India and 3-5% each from USA and UK. The rest is a mixed bag from other countries. This is largely the trend since the last 3-4 months. I want to attract more organic traffic  from UK and rest of Europe. My SEO consultant says that with a .in domain that will be difficult.

My website currently features unique holiday properties in India that typically attract European tourists so I don't think it is a product issue. But both website visits and sales enquiries remain primarily Indian even though total number of visitors have increased gradually over the last 6 months..

My queries are

1. Is it only the .in domain that's affecting inflow of international traffic?

2. Is there anything that I can do to offset it?

3. I own seekandhide.co.uk  too. Is there something I can do with that site without building a whole different website there? If I shift completely to .co.uk, I will have the same issue of being geographically limited and end up losing Indian traffic.

4. Is there something else that is not ok on the site that I am missing?

5. Advice that I get from a lot of consultants is to buy seekandhideindia.com but I plan to add international properties in a couple of years so that name would limit my appeal.

Thanks in advance!
