2 times among the top 20 positions. 2 times among the top 30 positions. Groupings were not obvious. Incidentally, when I changed the search by eliminating one of the search terms, the results gave even lower rankings. This was also true of a similar test with the U.S. Site.
Top rankings are highly dependent on the search terms used.
Both of the sites deal with web design and html coding, yet the results were quite different. One of the major differences between the 2 sites is that the U.K. Site dealt with a variety of general issues concerning web design, while the U.S. Site was more focused on HTML software and books. The possible implication for those wanting to get a good search engine ranking is that either the site or the individual pages that make up the site should have a very specific focus. A clear conclusion for both sites in terms of globalization is that the site must be translated into other languages to achieve a good ranking in search engines which use a different language. As many of you know, many search engines will not even accept your listing if it is not in their language.
