| Geographic target for .sa.com | Frogger | 5/5/12 4:11 PM | Hi, I am trying to change the Geographic target for a .http://sa.com domain name from Target users in: United States to Saudi Arabia. But for some reason Webmaster Tools is not allowing me tick the target box and access the drop down menu for Saudi Arabia. |
| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | alistair.lattimore | 5/5/12 11:48 PM | If Google recognises .http://sa.com as an official Saudi Arabia domain name, you won't be able to geotarget it. |
| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | Frogger | 5/6/12 12:12 AM | Ic. So for instance a .com.au doesn't need a geographic target as google knows its linked to australia. The problem is with this .http://sa.com it has united states next to the geographic target which I can't change. |
| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | alistair.lattimore | 5/6/12 1:25 AM | Normally you can geotarget a .com domain name, as its within the list of geotargetable domains.

| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | Frogger | 5/6/12 2:43 AM | Thanks for getting back to me quickly. How do I check where the .http://sa.com is geotargeted to. Would this be done at the domain registry? |
| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | alistair.lattimore | 5/6/12 4:58 AM | This is done via Google Webmaster Tools for that particular domain. If a geotargetable domain has actually been geotargeted, you'll see the country name its been targeted to beside the domain in the search results. |
| Re: Geographic target for .sa.com | Frogger | 5/6/12 1:45 PM | Thats what I thought. So this .http://sa.com domain has a checkbox which I cant tick and a drop down menu which is stuck on United States that I can not change. Does google webmatser tools not reconize a .http://sa.com? Maybe they only reconize .http://com.sa? |
