Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Adam and Alan.

Thanks for the info. I figured as much but for some reason the fact it was a blog threw me as I rarely see blogs on a subdomain. Many thanks guys.

Just double checking this one. Is it less than ideal to have a blog on a subdomain rather than as a sub folder on a domain?

I have a client who runs a yacht delivery company. He gets business from the US and the UK but due to the nature of his business, he isn't really based anywhere except in the middle of the ocean somewhere!

His site is hosted in the US, and it's a .com. I haven't set any geographical targeting in webmaster tools either. We're starting to get some rankings in google US, but very little in google UK. It's a small site anyway, and he'd prefer not to have too much content on the site saying he's UK based as he's not really based anywhere.

Any ideas on how best to approach this?

More and more people are suggesting that having branded anchor text is more valuable than keyword anchor text. I was discussing this with a client last night and it's proving to be the case with his site.

Patrick Altoft has been suggesting this for a while. Check out the following presentation recently . http://www.blogstorm.co.uk/presentations-from-tfma-and-some-comms-manchester/
