My Irish Site Ranks Well in Yahoo, but Not for Ireland Only Searches

What Can Be the Cause?

hi,
i live in ireland.

my commercial site is listed quite well when i 'yahoo'
either 'web' or 'uk'.
however when i select 'ireland' search only there is no mention of my site in the 'ireland' listings.

can cayone tell me why this is so & how to correct.

many thanks,

rampzoid.

It helps when the website is hosted by an Irish hosting company and that the domain name extension is .ie. Think about it from the search engine point of view, how can they tell that your website is an Irish, English or Americna website?

thanks for your reply goodroi,

just to clarify.

when i use the 'Yahoo UK & Ireland' search page it offers 3 search options ie 'all of the web','uk only' & 'ireland only'.

i obtain decent results from all the other options but none from 'ireland only'.

also does anyone have a 'real contact' email address for Yahoo UK - i can't find anything in their help pages etc.

thanks again - rampzoid.
