When searching for example.com, only example.co.uk is showing up. Why?

Hi there,

I have a quick question, when looking for our client's domain name in Google (Google.it, Google.co.uk and Google.com), we search for example.com, but the first (and only) search result showing is example.co.uk (which redirects then to example.com)

Why is the co.uk domain showing instead of the com domain where we are redirecting to? I don't assume that this is any form of penalisation?

Thanks!

Hi there

I've usually seen this happen when one of the sites has existed and been indexed first and has gone on two earn lots of links.  This usually occurs as well when there is a 302 redirect present, rather than a 301.

Could this be the case for your website?

Exactly that was the case, I've checked and they have a 302 redirect.

Thanks a lot Tom!
