The goal behind every website is to increase traffic. It is vital part of targeting your website for the specific visitors who view your website. For example if you are market only covers UK then your content should include this word, so people come to know that your business is mainly focused on UK market.
GEO targeting is the method of online marketing of a website according to the geographical location of visitors of your website. Geo targeting help you to improve the profit and also help users to find more specific results they are looking for.
IP based geo targeting will help you redirect your visitors to the country specific website. For example like Google, if you open google.com from UK it will redirect you to www.google.co.uk this call IP based geo targeting. In PHP a simple script is available which recognized the country by IP address and redirect them.
How it will help in SEO and how to do it?
Geo targeting is also a crucial part in optimization process for your website. Search engines are become advance and change their algorithm regularly to provide up to date information to their searchers. Geo targeting your website for a specific county help search engine to determine your targeted country specific users and accordingly that they improve your ranking in their results.
Search engine first try to find where the website is hosted. If your target market is German or France or Canada and your hosting server located somewhere in USA then it will not help you to optimize your website for country specific search engines. So try to find a web hosting provider whose server is located in your region.
Top level domain or TLD of domain name is also play an important role. If your target customer base is France then try to search for a domain name with country specific TLD like www.yourdomain.fr
Google webmaster tool is another useful way to let Google know which your targeted audience is. You need to create an account in Google Webmaster Tool and then specify your targeted country through drop down box.
Content is the king in optimizing a website. You should also include the country name in your content to let search engine know about your targeted audience.

Google officials clear some doubts related to website designed based on CSS and Table. Currently wordpress, joomla, Web2.0 and other CMS (Content Management System) becoming more popular and many website owners believes that CSS based website performs well in major search engines.
But Google official Matt Cut clearly mentioned in his recent video both website designed using CSS or Table perform well in search engine. They do not have different criteria for crawling CSS based and Table based websites. What things they consider is only the well structured language. If you are using Table for your website design, do not put your HTML coding in complex table structure, it is hard for search engine to crawl a complex table structure website. If website designed using Table have simple and easy to understand structure then crawler crawl your website without any problem.
To improve your website ranking design your website in manner so search engine can easily access and crawl your website, make sure your website load quickly, your website provide good value for your website visitors, do not optimize your website for search engine but for website visitors and you will win the race.
