    Default Just moved country.

    I made a mistake when I set up a sit two years back and had it hosted in the US. I moved it just two months ago to the UK (main market and wanted to return in .co.uk pages only).

    After two months the site still does not show in the .co.uk only pages - as this is the only site I have ever move I have no idea how long it takes Google to update on this.

    Anyone help?

    Are you using the Google webmaster tools to keep track of how often the site is being spidered etc?

    It has been crawled twice since I moved it. I thought it was something that would be picked up quite quickly.

    Does it have inbound links?

    Has the content changed?

    Yeah, there are a lot of links, and nothing on the site changed, all content is the same.

    With regards to location - no I will not mess with stuff like that. I don't find Goo very efficient, and often strange things happen in search results. For example Goo maps mess. They have a spider, I let it do its work.

    Stick the Url in this geolocation tool, some UK hosts use overseas servers...

    just checked the site and seems to be loading fine - hosted with web hosting uk - cheap.
