On yahoo.com our site ranks very well (top 10). But why on localised search engine like yahoo.de is our site ranked about 50 ?

Yahoo international gives a boost to local sites, by server location as well as top level domain (eg .co.uk .de etc.)

It's possible you are getting a boost in one yahoo TLD that isn't there for yahoo.de

Cheers,

^ thanks for that info.. i was about to ask the same question.

Because other, local websites will usually outrank you in the listings on local engines. That's the nature of local.

If you want to do well in a local market, your firsts tep is to have a site with a domain that marks you as "local - for you, that would be .de in this case. Having the domains itself is not the real trick, though - the site needs to be hosted on a sevrer locate din the area that matches the location of the domain.

Your site will not effectively outrank all the local sites on the same topic if it is a .com trying to compete in the local versions of the search engines.

Take solice in the fact that most folks still search through the main, .com versions of the major engines - for the moment.
