After advising others about SEO for close to 4 years, I have decided to walk the talk and try and get a website to rank on Google based on my SEO knowledge alone.** I have started working on a website for sample resumes and created 4-5 pages around 1 month back.

I was not able to follow up on the results due to problem with my internet. Yesterday I was checking the ranking of the website on Google. Following was the result for the keyword sample resumes

Google.com               204

Google.co.in              18 

Google.co.in              9 (Region=India in advanced search operator)

I know that Google provides different results based on geographic preference of user. However what puzzles me is “how does Google know that jhingalala is India focused website?” Some of the basic parameters that Google uses to determine geographic preference of a website are

The TLD extension of the website   .com is not specific to India

Server location                                    My server is located in USA

Linking websites                                 I doubt if I have any incoming links from India specific websites.

content on the page                            I have not included any geographic locations on the page

Then what makes google think that jhingalala is India specific website and will it hurt my efforts to make it rank on Google.com in future. I will appreciate your views on this topic.

** I have got some of my own sites quite good ranking on google. However most of that was natural without much concentrated SEO effort other than basic technical optimization

P.S: I seem to be getting much better understanding of SEO by trying to get this resume website to rank on Google. Will be sharing my experience on this project as I go along. Looking forward to your help and feedback on this topic.

I am just wondering if this will hurt the future chances of jhingalala ranking on google.com since
