What It Takes To Stay On Top Of Search Engine Rankings In Singapore

By Froilan Gauss


Search engine rankings in local search engines might be less complicated to accomplish than in Google.com or Yahoo.com but you have to ensure that the search engines refer to your web site and your contents as relevant for the local Singapore audience or whichever local market space you are wanting to show up in.

Showing up in a local search results such as Google.com.sg is simpler if you do these:

First, run your site through a .com.sg or .sg site (or a local counterpart, eg .com.au or .co.nz), second, host your web site on the Singapore hosted server (so your server IP is in Singapore), and third, tell Google (using Webmaster Tools www.google.com/webmaster-- login using your Gmail account) that your site is localised to Singapore.

If you do any of the above, then you'll rank higher in Pages from Singapore or the local equivalent.

If you happen to run your web site in a .com, .net or .org, then you should make a clear decision about the physical locality of the market space. So for instance, we started our SEO service in Singapore but we at this moment serve clients globally. Right now we've a problem. We are among the leading top three search engine optimization corporations in Singapore, we're No.3 currently in Pages from Singapore, a position which we've held tightly for almost two years now, and up until lately we have been showing as the No.3 SEO company in Pages on the Web as well.

Right now, just this week, two competition have pressed us down inside the pages from the web. We're 'anchored' to Singapore within Google Webmaster Tools, despite running our site through a .com domain. We have been debating in our group if we should 'un-anchor' ourselves from Singapore and take our chances in the .com world.

The choice for us is easy bearing in mind we've got two years of contents and activity that ties us to Singapore and our web domain is hosted in Singapore. So bearing in mind our opponents at the moment are taking our spots, we'll yield our Webmaster Tools tied to Singapore this upcoming few days.

If you are just starting out with the web plus your website has not been around for very long, and albeit you've got a .com site nevertheless your physical business comes from a specific single territory, then we'd suggest that you choose to anchor yourself primarily to a local country (assists you to put together business and local traffic), after which afterward liberate yourself, and take the plunge into the .com arena.
