| Is the IP domain in Ireland or somewhere else. I think that is one of the things that ensures that you are on the "pages from ireland" so you are ranked higher as you are from ireland. The reason for "the web" being so low is that that you are against all the rest of the world. AFAIK

| I guess there are 3 types of search:And all 3 have different results for "web design". Maybe it is some mismatch atM least for the google.ie results ?? |

| I've got pages that do the same, and I'd suspect it's down to the linkage anchor text, try an allinanchor:Keyword search on G and see where your site/competition turn up, they should roughly mirror the positions in the organic results. Take Huntforproperty.ie, you use "Irish property" in you sig here so: allinanchor:irish property - 14 The web - irish property - 13 strip out the non-Irish sites and in the Pages from Ireland results you rise to 10th. |

| Most of your links use "hunt for property" as the anchor text which is why you're no.1 for that term on both the web and PfI but it's too diluted to work for "property" which is why you only appear for the term in the far less competitive "pages from ireland" but not "the web". |

| Firstly hats off to RFS, site is at 8 for "web design" when using the "web search" function on the various "English" Google news sites, results appear consistent and not skewed by country or IP so I'd suspect they're from the "core" database. I then looked at G.uk and surprisingly couldn't find it in the top 100 while Twospots.com the no 4 on the news sites was at no.5, it's a Serbian site but unlike RFS gives no indication of locality. So assuming it's the "localisation" that's keeping RFS OUT of the G.uk results it would also make sense that it's what's putting him IN the G.ie ones. |
