Re: GEO location issue with google

For future reference, the last time this issue came up someone said doing this was a good way to get their geo stuff fixed automatically:

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-google-self-published-geofeeds-02

I haven't messed with it yet, but it seems like a good idea. I want to write something that lets me export this from our IPAM but I've been busy and it isn't a problem for us at the moment.

Thanks,
Robert

Reported to the appropriate folks.

Going to www.google.co.uk<http://www.google.co.uk> directly, should return you English language results.   Appending 
/en to the end of a google url should also return you English language results.  You should also be able to set your language 
preference in your search settings.

Hi,

We are an ISP based in UK. We have got an ip block from RIPE which is 5.250.176.0/20<http://5.250.176.0/20>. All the main search engines 
like yahoo shows we are based in UK. But Google thinks we are from Saudi Arabia and we redirected to 
www.google.com.sa<http://www.google.com.sa><http://www.google.com.sa> instead of googlw.co.uk<http://googlw.co.uk>. I have 
sent lot of emails to google but no luck. All the information from google are in Arabic and youtube shows some weird videos as well.

Could anyone please help me to sort this out?

Would be much appreciated for your time.
