It’s interesting even thinking about ranking for these two terms. I think UK SEO is more a informational vanity SERP, where SEO UK is more a transactional term, and probably more valuable (for this seo company).

I think it’s a bit less spammy when linkbuilding to rank for UK SEO than the alternative especially when blog commenting (not done that for a while though I don’t really linkbuild to this site that much any more – although I have in the past tried and get the odd link from a decent website with the exact anchor text match – probably why we rank on page 1 for UK SEO). I’ve certainly had more of a focus on content the last year or so that’s a nice result.

It’s interesting when you think about it. When you break down the search and try to get into the mind of the actual searcher and understand what they do when looking for something. Did they type in SEO first, then modify with a UK to narrow the search? Probably. Maybe that’s why Google says there is more searches for SEO UK than UK SEO using their keyword tool (last time I looked)?

Did you know when you link to a Hobo SEO post we have search engine friendly links back to your site if approved? Our comments are also search engine friendly you know (once you've commented on a few posts)! Do you need any more encouragement to get involved in the conversation ;)
