    guavarian from the UK asks:

    "Why are the UK SERPS still really poor with irrelevant non UK sites (US/Aus/NZ) ranking very high Google.co.uk since early June?"

    .com domain is 3 times cheaper than .co.uk and you still set to target users from UK using webmaster tools, so why pay 3 times more?...

    I think whats more important is not giving me a list of dodgy websites that have fly by downloads or install asking sites which I don't click on as I have WOT and AVG and it happens a lot of the time if these two apps can spot it then why cant you.

    I'm with you on that ... but If we just ignore the "localization" via IP or the chosen URL for Google. Then the results for the other Manchester are maybe more important to the engine as the Manchester (UK) results are. Like I said its just a guess ... as google tries always tries to provide the result that most likely is suitable for the most users. And if the non UK sites managing the SEO (via content etc.) better there up in the list.

    The reason it's not answering the question is because this is a very old vid. Matt has a shaved head at the moment.

    Hi Matt, As woodsandhillplc has mentioned, the question is about the quality of the UK serps, which at present is really poor. I have been looking at one term that in May had 14.2 million results, now in August has 42 million results. These additional results are from USA, India and other contries, will a lot more very low quality results thrown in. I have been an avid user of Google since it's inception but the results I see are so bad that I am now using another search engine.

    Im sorry but that was a joke. Matt, you read the question out differently to how it was, then basically answered it as if it was a completely different question!!! The gripes of the UK web industry has nothing to do with .coms !! No one has at any point said it has!! It was not in the question, and it was not in any of the hundreds of blogposts that have surrounded the issue. Very disappointed.

    If you're in the UK, you're IP is in the UK, then 'Manchester' is not an unspecific query. Its one of the largest cities in the country, I don't think it would cross anyone's mind in Britain that there is another Manchester.

    No Matt, you've missed the point here. The problem isn't to do with domain suffix. The problem is that we are getting irrelevant sites from the English speaking world polluting the UK SERPs. For example, Manchester in the UK is quite a long way from Manchester NH yet we get Manchester NH results ranking VERY prominently in local search for Manchester UK related terms
