Google.uk rankings plummet, .com improves. What to do?

[iAnalyst.com]

Hey Guys,

Seems so much has changed with international SEO I'm not sure what to do with our site. We have a huge site with many country level landing pages that perform very well on google.com searches (IE; keyword + Jamaica) etc.

We are not using a .co.uk version of our site and now our rankings have plummeted in the UK.

Should we just make a .co.uk with similar (or the exact same content) or is there some newer strategy to follow?

Have you considered trying to build up some inbound links more geographically located to the UK?  Sites hosted in the UK with .co.uk domains would be a good place to start IMO.  What was the timing of the drop off in traffic?
