google - search in XX only

country/domain specific search

[marbant]

i still wonder what the requirements for being listed in for example a UK-only search at google.co.uk are
is it the nameserver for the domain, the domain itself, the meta-language tag?

Part of it is the name server and part of it is the ip address used to host the site.

[marbant]

so what about nameserver in uk and hosting in austira?

thanks!

Can't confirm that. At least for Europe, excluding UK, it's IP only, if the TLD is generic.
A site with local nameserver and foreign IP will not be included.

It's just making things more complex.

Here's the getting listed in the uk search engines [webmasterworld.com] thread which indicates keeping it simple.

Whatever Google does today might change tomorrow. That's why I recommend getting local hosting along with local TLD whenever possible.
Unfortunately it is not always possible :)
Getting local TLDs is for some countries very difficult.
