Finally Matt Cutts cleared things up explaining the reason behind the changes on the organic landscape of Google UK. Turns out Google are now letting .com domains into the UK search results. We all kinda got used to .co.uk sites having a huge preference in the UK SERPs but it looks like the days of the British TLD dominance are over.
The reason behind this change is that there are a lot of lebanon mobile phone numbers database websites that are relevant for the UK searchers even though their URLS don't end in .uk. There are companies catering to the UK market via .com websites, anyone can blog about some events in England and their blog posts will be relevant for the UK whatever their TLD is. So obviously this is a big step forward for Google which is likely to benefit both the searcher and the businesses targeting the UK market.
This is how it works in theory. Now let's see how Google manages to put this update into life. Care for some pizza? I've heard a lot of UK webmasters complaining about irrelevant results on Google.co.uk. But let's be honest, we SEOs often tend to think that results are irrelevant only because our own websites are not listed in top 10. So I decided to check this out. I went to Google.
