Different Google result for same keyword in different countries

[abellojuan]

Why does Google display different results in each country for the same keyword and with the same language? how can I take advantage of this to position my website in an specific country?

In this case de domain is always a ."com" domain.

A lot of factors influence rankings in different countries. For example between US and UK, the domain name extension matters. So if you were a .co.uk website, it would rank better in the UK then US. Similarly if this .co.uk site was also hosted in UK, then it would rank even better in UK. Further, if the site was targeting UK english, instead of US english (which it should), it would again get counted towards a positive strength to rank in UK, but not in US.

I hope this helps understand the reasoning behind it... atleast from a 10,000 foot view.
