Hi Angel, when you say that your site is not ranked in the USA, do you mean it is no longer found in the USA search results or that it is in a lower position than where it was found previously?

It sounds like you are asking about indexing rather than ranking. Ranking can be different when you are logged in to Google or not logged in. If you have added your site in your Google Webmaster Tools account, what does it show there?

welcome to WebmasterWorld, Angel!


when you say "not ranked in USA" are you talking about a search from USA IP addresses?

do you find any results when you use a site: search operator?

[wangel]

When i try to search my site ranking in USA, i didn't found any keyword of my site in there.

[phranque]

My website is ranked in google.com but didn't ranked in USA

explain precisely what you mean by "ranked in google.com" versus "ranked in USA".
is your site a .com or other .gTLD or is it a .ccTLD?

[wangel]

my site is .com

[phranque]

explain precisely what you mean by "ranked in google.com" versus "ranked in USA".

In other words, specifically how are you searching to find "ranked in google.com" and not "search my site ranking in USA"?

[wangel]

Look i'm, from india, when i searched my site keywords in google.com via indian IP address, it's appear on 2nd page but when my client search the same keyword via USA IP address it does not appear in all pages.

The difference you see in the rankings is due to the site's geo-location, which is apparently in India. Both Google and Bing give better rankings to websites whose geo-location is seen to be physically closer to the user. Since you're located in India, the website ranks higher in Google when you search, but it will not rank well for users in the US.

A website's geo-location is largely determined by two things: (1) a Country Code Top Level Domain Name (ccTLD) like '.in', or (2) the physical location of the server that hosts the site, based on its IP address. The geo-location of the websites that link to you also seem to have some influence, but #1 and #2 are by far the most important.

If the site has a generic Top Level Domain Name like '.com', '.net', '.org', or '.info' you can set its geo-location in Google's Webmaster Tools console.

My site's domain is <snip> dot com and it's geo- location is already set on United States.

So you have geo-location set to USA via Google Webmaster Tools?
Are you sure you are not getting personalised search results?

Did site ever ranked in USA before?

[wangel]

Yes Before Hummingbird my site rank in USA

[Robert Charlton]

Can you give us information on the date range of your ranking drops... and whether it was a sharp drop, a gradual drop... and whether it was one drop or a series.

Also, did you make any onsite changes in reaction to the drop?

And how did you build your inbound links?

[wangel]

Sorry i don't remember the date.

I'm just doing Bookmarking, Articles, Press release, Video Submission, Document Submission.

[Robert Charlton]

Sorry i don't remember the date.

Then why do you think your problems relate to Hummingbird?

Are your backlinks from sites in India or sites in the US? From just the little bit you say, I'm guessing that low quality backlinks are a good part of the problem, and that you probably have content problems as well... perhaps also Penguin and Panda issues.

Without historical data about your site's performance, though, it's difficult to say much more.

when i searched my site keywords in google.com via indian IP address, it's appear on 2nd page but when my client search the same keyword via USA IP address it does not appear in all pages.

I hope you are not basing your whole analysis on two individual searches. My next-door neighbor and I could do the same search and get wildly different results.
