    Default Geo IP in SERP is it important?

    I wonder how important the location of a server is to SERP in search engine ranking. Some people argued that if the server that host your website is in UK and you are targeting a UK keyword you will do better than if your server is in US and you are targeting a UK keyword.

    Most Search engines do use geo IP as part of their algo but I seem to see lots of US hosted sites doing well for UK keywords.
    Thanks

    To deal just with UK SERPs only, the following is TRUE:

    If the domain is .co.uk hosting in the US is equal to hosting in the UK with all the main S/Es.

    For a .com hosted in the US, to get good SERPs in UK S/Es is like swimming the channel with your wellies on.

    UK (including Northern Ireland) hosting is essential for UK SERPs for non uk domain suffixes.

    I was just wondering who you are, sometime I think you are an associate I invited to this forum a while ago, he is called Graham, from Cornwall. He is a web desinger/SEO consultant.
