Geo Targeting for Similar Sites to Specific Countries in Google's Index

[longbeachjamie]

I was hoping Webmaster Tools geo targeting would prevent this - I'm seeing in select google searches several pages indexed from our Australian website. Both sites have unique TLDs:

1. barraguard.com
2. barraguard.com.au

I've attached a screenshot as an example.

The sites are both hosted here in the U.S. at our data center. Are there any other methods for preventing Google and other search engines from indexing the barraguard.com.au pages in searches that take place in the U.S.?

If your sites are registered in the webmaster tools on site settings and general settings. You can determine which region your site serves, in the destination country.

Where the site is hosted is also a factor in rankings, I know it's a difficult decision, but also interfere.

Another regional factor is where your site gets links, then concentrate the actions of the Australian site linkbuilding local sites in Australia.

Hope this has helped.
