Keywords ranking high Eastern Europe BUT NOT in U.S.

Do i have to just have servers in the U.S.

[Sebyte]

Hi,

I have 2 main websites on servers in the U.S. and 5 miniwebsites on servers in Eastern Europe.

A large amount of my keywords that were listed on Google.com no longer are showing up, but they all show up on the first page of [google.lv...]

Does google know where the server is and take this into consideration which google they will list my rank terms.

Do I need to have all my mini websites all on my server in the UNITED STATES if I want my keywords to rank on Google.Com.

All the mini websites are linked to my two main websites in the U.S. but are, but they are on the Lavtia Website.

Or does where the server have nothing to do with this.

So again, 2 main websites are on U.S. servers, 5 mini websites are on Lavtia Websites but linked to the U.S websites within the hyper links on the website. So from homepage of mini website on Lavtia server-when you click on product it brings you to main website located on server in U.S.

I am located in U.S. but have programmers in Eastern Europe.

Lastly, the servers in the UNITED STATES is not my own, but i host my websites through webhosting company "monster.com" who is based in the U.S.

Please help me understand this.

Thanks
Sebyte

I assume your keywords/sites have just gone from google.com recently? Google is (was?) updating, and the results on the "foreign" Google appear to be better than on the normal google.com.

Specualation abounds, but my own theory is that www.google.com isnt taking account of PR or backlinks yet...

Iīm sorry, itīs the contrary for me........
I have an website hosted in US, in english, Itīs well positioned as before, just lost one step on first page in google.com and co.uk.
But in google.es and .se I am on 4th page using the same keywords, for me itīs language related.

I do as well have an spanish and swedish index and their indexing in google.es and .se are good, even the .se are bether are now 1st and 2nd on first page.

Well that's just fascinating. My client's site, Page 1 pre-florida and gone post-florida, also gone post-Austin, is on page 1 on the Latvia server.

Wish I knew how to get my client back in the SERPS on Google US...
