Cut, slice & dice. More pages sadly is what most SEO`s will see with this and we will see sites flooded with new crappy re-spun pages.

: Rudy Labordus i think you are quite clear with your question. I just don`t believe someone will know beyond doubt. I think it is fair to say that "it should not make a difference" (ignoring distance, hosting, ... ). I don`t believe G cares about physical location. It cares about experience.It is likely that some people have run tests but the big question is whether or not the only difference really was the location of the websites
Rudy Labordus
: Nitin Jaswani thank you for our reply. My question was more relating to the SEO value of having a site hosted on a server in your target location or whether that part really doesn`t matter anymore.
Nitin Jaswani
: Rudy Labordus As It is seen a lot of times that website load speed makes a difference. Your bounce rate increases, which itself is a singal to Google to not consider your website to show to masses. In short, your site can perform much better in terms of traffic if load time is lower.
Rudy Labordus
: Sorry I should have been more clear. This was a question relating to the impact of SEO if you have your server not in the same country. Some used to say that if your server is not in the same country, you may lose ranking. But this was some years ago now so it may not be an issue anymore.
Christian Jordens
: Of course yes, the nearest location will make your site run faster. But, it also depends on your server specs. If your provider overload the server, your site will be working slowly too. Just find trustworthy provider for your site.
