Google Searching Ireland only

JimmySmith · 2006-02-06 16:03:40

A friend has a site like www.mydomain.com and it comes up in a google search, but not when you search ireland. He wants google to index it so as it comes up in a search of Ireland only. Is there somthing he can put in the HTML to let google know to index it for Ireland. Thanks

I think he'd need to get a new mirror .ie domain.
Though, of course, I may be wrong.

for that to happen he needs to be on an Irish IP range ,which means hosting with an irish hosting company.

Sposs is right, but if you talk to Google, and ask them nicely, they'll add you to their mapping tables.
