Optimising Jobs In Tenerife

OK guys

I recently developed the website Jobs In Tenerife out of an extreme frustration at the lack of facilities available to job hunters here on the island.

Now the site's very basic and indeed needs some more coding to make it better but I had time on my hands and decided to give the other sites a run for their money.

My question then is this:

The site's been live for just over 2 weeks and depending which version of Google you use:

google.co.uk
google.com
google.es

The site appears anywhere between organic link 3 and 15

OK I think for a site that hasn't yet had it's backlinks indexed however I noticed something else in the referrer data:

The results depend also on the language settings coming through from the browser's headers.

So, getting to the point as swiftly as I can...

How can I optimise my site, or request a particular googlebot or through some form of osmosis get Google.co.uk and .es to lend more importance to my site. Or, to put it another way...

How do I get the site further up in these results for the two main Google pages that my prospective browsers would be using...?

There is only 1 googlebot.

The reason why you are different in the 3 sites is because G, uses country specific listings.

To get in all 3 you need to register .co.uk and get UK worded links, centre not center, and point them back to your .co.uk domain.

Then register .es or what ever the Spanish domain extension is, and get Spanish worded links and point them to .es.

Right now you will have to get complicated.

The first bit is easy/easier. Point all 3 domains at your main site via a 301 redirection. In time this will tell Google to rank you in all 3 listings with enough back links back. (See above).

However for the Spanish domain and the Spanish rankings you will have to use geo-tracking to detect where a person is in the world if they come from Spain you then need to provide a link in Spanish to your Spanish version of your site.

If you are just after ex-pats in Spain this is not needed.

But G will look at the language of your site and you may need a Spanish version to rank in the top of the Spanish results as an English worded site isn't relevant to a Spaniard who doesn't speak Spanish.

You should optimize your website for atleast 1-2 months.

If you have been able to see some success in 2 weeks , then you can anticipate rankings once properly optimized

On a seperate but related issue...

I created another site to play with Google and see what happens and it's quite strange...

If I search for the 3 keywords I chose capitalised, my site's #1. However, if I remove the capitals it's #3. Wierd eh, didn't think Google made a distinction.

Looks like I'll have to drop the caps on my keywords...

Anyone else noticed this...?

How many times did you do the same searches?
What are your keywords?

It may just be different results from different servers that are not synchronized thus different results.

If you repeat the searches a few times, 1 after the other, it should fix it's self TBH.
