specific country optimisation

[stakeho]

Hi

I have a .co.nz website and was wondering whether or not there was a keyword analyzer to count the number of searches, for say "environmental consulting" that have taken place just under the "search pages from New Zealand" part of google.

Also if a New Zealander searches the "the web" ( not "pages from NZ") is any special ranking privilage given to sites with a .co.nz domain?

1) I do not think there are any tools on the market that do GEO IP targeting for
keyword searches. I might be wrong, but I do not think so.

2) Only if he/she is searching on .co.nz specific search engine. For example most
people search Google.com , but Google also has http://www.google.co.nz that gives
priority to .co.nz domain names , but most people dont know this exists so the use
the .com version of Google and it all gets bunched in together.

Re: specific country optimisation

when you advertise your site with Google adwords, you can specify GEO targeting.

Thanks for your help

I think o*****re has the right tools to estimate the geographic cpc, so I can use that as a yard stick.

1 more question, is there any way to estimate where my ad would place on google adwords or is it just a trial and error thing. Is there a website that has done this trial and error for most/all popular keywords and can estimate this.
