Why does google.com change to google.co.uk?

How to Stop Google.com redirecting to Google.co.uk

Sometimes you may want to view search results on Google.com instead of Google.co.uk - which you're automatically redirected to if you live in the UK. This is useful to get different information, or to see how you're ranking for certain keywords across the Atlantic. Well we had this problem recently and can share with you how to escape being redirected! You just need a short addition to the URL: enter "www.google.com/ncr" into the browser address bar... and Bob's your uncle!

To learn about optimising your website for search, see our new re-vamped SEO Training at Silicon Beach Training.
