What is this telling me? It is more of a language issue than an indexing/datacenter issue. Looks like an algorithmic issue with linguistics which I do not know how to solve.

The only other things I can think of right now is…

  1. My Domain Whois Info had a US address. I fixed that already and changed it to Philippines.
  2. My IP is associated with to many US based websites? Well I changed servers, even if the server is also in the US, I believe more of the clients are associated with Filipino websites. I was considering getting a host with a Philippine based datacenter, but looking at some of the current leaders, their servers are also based in the US. So maybe this is not the real issue.
  3. Majority of the time this website is accessed is by me where I maintain the site. I have Google Analytics too on the site and I guess Google knows that most of the accesses are coming from the US and not from the Philippines. What do I do? I find a proxy to use and access my site as if I am in the Philippines for maintenance purposes? Or I ask someone in the Philippines to access my site everyday. Whatever I do, I will try to minimize visiting the site myself so less US based IP host ISPs are accessing this site.

    Hmm..weird indeed.

    I’d say, do what you must to point to the Philippines. It’s still too early to worry about search rankings.

    http://isulongseoph.offshoreoutsourcingphilippines.com is top 1 and 3 in most google search results.
