[Laughs] You can tell I'm from Kentucky, because I don't know how to say everyone's name.

I'm going to try Jochen from Stuttgart in Germany asks,

0:00:09.349,0:00:12.359
"How do meta geo tags influence the search results?"

0:00:13.069,0:00:18.920
And the answer is that it is not something that we look at very closely at all. Not meta geo tags. We tend to look at

0:00:18.920,0:00:27.819
the IP address, we tend to look at the gTLD or the ccTLD, that's the country code TLD. So, top level domain, so .fr,

0:00:27.819,0:00:35.119
.de. There's also something in Google's Webmaster Tools where you can say my site is you know, not just a .com that's

0:00:35.119,0:00:43.149
about the entire world, it's a British .com. Or it's a .com that really pertains to New Zealand or Australia. So, you

0:00:43.150,0:00:50.650
can highlight and say, okay this .com is really about Germany or Canada or whatever your country is. But typically the

0:00:50.650,0:00:56.189
geo tags that are in meta tags are not as useful and we don't tend to give those as much weight, if at all. So, I

0:00:56.189,0:01:00.829
would spend your time trying to make sure you have the right domain name, trying to make sure that you have the right

0:01:00.829,0:01:06.789
IP address if you can, and then definitely if you have content that's geo-located, even if it's a subdomain or a

0:01:06.789,0:01:12.669
subdirectory, you can specify that within Google's Webmaster Tools and say yes, this is relevant for this particular

0:01:12.669,0:01:13.049
country.
