Does TLDs matter for US or global keyword ranking,

There has been enough discussion about this yet people keep asking. Yes TLD matters you have a .co.uk domain and want to rank in google its gonna be a very difficult job there are sites which are doing it but its very rare and extremely difficult.



other factors that affect global keyword rankings are



1. Hosting: If you site is hosted some where in the european union or Uk and you want to target US customers then you need to move your website to a US hosting. Search engines have geotargeting and they can clearly figure out where your website is hosted.
2. Backlinks: its an other important factor if you have too many backlinks from other countries then it will be difficult to rank in UK results its very important to get backlinks from US sites to rank for US audience.
