  Not sure if this where to ask a question.... Does anybody have ANY idea on how I can get more traffic across an international border? Northern Ireland is 15 mins from my door, yet less than 5% of traffic is from there.
  
  I recently set up a new domain (.co.uk ) and website to target this shortage. My Irish website a ( .com domain ) is geo targeted to .ie and the .co.uk is geo targeted to the UK.
  
  I tried writing content aimed specifically at N.I. and aimed it at user search query's. I suspect Google prefer's their version of local, rather than mine.

  The cuetimes listed on this page are functional while the live broadcast continues and also once Youtube has finished processing the public broadcast. Processing time varies between 6-24 hours. During this period the clip is viewable in full but the cuetimes cannot be relied on.
