    SERPs can't be better if your site is hosted in US, but it can be better if incoming links pointing to your site are made from the US resources. In some degree it may help.

    In some Korean Search Engines the location of YOUR IP , host did have some effects.

    I thinks server location doesn't effect SEO but your server uptime and other factors can damage the SEO so better choose a good server with good uptime guaranty.

    Server location HAS influence when it comes to local search. When you are conducting searches from Canada, Google will give preference (relative, not absolute) to sites hosted in Canada (and sites with .ca extension) as compared to sites hosted elsewhere.

    Sever location is not a very essentail parameter for SERPs.

    IP would effect SERP on geo related search only. Also consider to have not hosted with similar content website on a same server using shared ip

    Well.. most search engines have this thing call "webmaster tools"..

    Just create an account e.g. with google webmaster tool and set your website target to your preferred geographical location.

    If server location did matter too much on SEO, would that not risk most global cloud hosting businesses or at least all their customer sites??

    My impression is that server location has little or no bearing on search result rankings. That said, be sure that your server is not also, say, a web site spam haven or the like.

    Oh, so i no host site on spamhaven.com. bad 4 seo? i c. tyvm ur knowledge is papreciate.




    I still don't understand why people think Google or Yahoo, or whatever would be like "Wow, your hosting is in the Spain so I am going to give you a lesser PR" or the contrary "Wow, your hosting is at LSN, so I am going to give you a better PR" (Hehe)

    No I don't think that server location matters. As google feeds on the content and as we know contents are the king it doesn't make any difference where the server is located.

    100 per cent accurate and I have some sites to prove it. Actually I noticed it when one of my hosts moved his server to Montreal. My Canadian traffic went crazy (I moved from number eight to number two for a search term on google.ca). The domain is not even .ca.

    Looking for affordable Canadian based hosting - PM me any suggestions.
