Search volume on google.no vs google.com for keyword

[danlae]

Anyone know if there is a way to find out search volume for a keyword on google.com vd for instance in our case google.no ?

The reason i am asking is that i am ranking 17 on google.com vs 1 on google.no . how do i go about to increase .com ranking ?

The adwords tool lets you see global and local searches for the territories you specify - does that answer your question?

About ranking on .com vs .no ....well, there's a bunch of things to consider there. A basic step is geotargeting - check out http://www.seomoz.org/q/google-webmaster-tools-international-seo-geo-targeting-site-with-worldwide-rankings you can set in GWT which countries your site is aimed at.

Yes i ve taken a look at that but i am not sure what to read out of the numbers Global for my keyword (barneklær)  is 27k and local is 22k . Does that mean that there are more searches on .com then on .no ?

Yep, 5k more - if it is important to you to be sure, you could run some ads and look at the number of impressions.
