WebDesignBournemouth got a reaction from Pixel_Donkey in .co.uk in US searchesDo you have a listed address on both? and do you mention united kingdom on the UK a few times, and united states on the other.
Google determines GEO on various factors, not just one... not everyone knows that a UK host is better than US if your targetting UK so google values that as a very minor factor, and since clouds can be anywhere its even less important.
I strongly recommend you use content to allow google to determine the GEO, and not that of use of domain/geo settings and hosting.
I've had many of mine .co.uk be top for serps in the US visitors outranking .com
If you do not want to physically allow people to see the address then you could use a invisible tag.
Using the LAT Tag should work, but other can value SEO rankings.

WebDesignBournemouth got a reaction from sunnyp81 in Why my site isnt on googleSadly there's little hope for this site to rank at all, because the code is so bad. There are major problems with the overall designing of this site and I hope no money was exchanged for such a service.
I'll explain and list the problems I see straight away,
Issues:
Issue 1
Over use of H1 Tags on the front page alone it has over 12, including one as the footer which is a huge no no.
Issue 2
No use of h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 tags, these tell google that the content is still important but less important than h1 which is the major keyword matching method.
Issue 3
You have no META Description on any of the pages, this should a 156 char description which is a sentence using the keywords found in the title and h1 tag, and other important h2-h6 keywords without spamming.
Issue 4
Far to many keywords listed in the keyword meta tag, keywords which ain't even on the page. Only use keywords which are actually on the page and if you said it once, don't repeat it in another order. This is for use for Bing and Yahoo, google ignores this.
Issue 5
The Title tag is 79 characters long, Google only displays a max of 70, Use a combined Phrase almost like a sentence outlining your keywords.
Issue 6
You have 6 CSS files which are not gziped and combined, Google actually ranks on site speed and uses many factors like overall use of JS and CSS files. Use a online minify and enable gzip on the server.
Issue 7
None of the images on the pages are compressed, Google Yslow Pngcrush and Transjpeg, this will reduce the file size without lose of any image quality.
Issue 8
None of the images have alt tags, this is extremely important as it adds overall text content to your page and tells the search engines what kind of images you have on the page.
Issue 9
The file names of the images are not very relevant to the content, this is less important but file names actually helps SEO.
Issue 10
No Terms and Conditions Page, No Privacy Pages, No Social Network Pages, all of these help SEO as it adds content to the site.
Issue 11
Less than important again but no Google analytics, Which is amazing for improving your site keywords at a later date and finding out customer trends.
Issue 12
The services are not listed on Google shop, it's free.
Issue 13
No coding to allow google to determine the services listed, there are codes you use to add prices, and services on a page this tells search engines that you are selling something and lists its accordling,
I could go on but this requires major work, and I strongly advise this site is looked.
A professional can easily resolve the issues listed above.
Hope this helps you out in the right direction.

WebDesignBournemouth got a reaction from jamesosix in Anyway to get pages "un-indexed" by google?I hear this a lot but I thought I would share.
Nofollow has no effect on what gets index'd and noindex while its ok to use its not the best method, infact many ignore it.
Use robots.txt to quickly remove pages, webmaster tools takes awhile and even has a disclaimer it doesnt promise anything.
Anytime your site is 'SKIMED' it doesnt read your site map, and doesnt read all pages.. HOWEVER it does read robots.txt everytime.
So add the url to the robots.txt and thats it
