 | google.pt vs google.comHello, my website is in portuguese language, but for an specific keyword I want to target, it only appears on Google.com... it does not appear on my google specific country (portugal) in google.pt... Can this be temporary? My website keeps ranking higher, week by week... but only in google.com where it appears on page 3

 | you have to build links from other Portuguese websites that end in .pt google doesn't know which search engine you want to rank in, also 'cos your website is .com google will think it is targeting the US or world wide. if you only want to target portuguese people then you should have a domain ending in .pt

| You have a Google Webmaster Tools account ? If not get one and register your domain. After you have verified that you own the domain you can GEO Target your .com to your specific country.
