Locked My site is ranking for the wrong Region!

    Hi

    http://www.cheapholidays.com is a UK site, hosted in the UK and providing a service to the UK.

    It only appears on the US version of Live Search, not the UK version. This is completely the wrong way round!

    I've looked for a way to tell Microsoft the regionality of the site using Webmaster Tools, but to no avail.

    Any help would be most appreciated.


    EDIT - I just found another thread in the forums containing a post from a USER suggesting I add the following code to my headers:
    <meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-gb" />

    I'm going to give it a try.

      Hi,

      That meta tag has helped in the past. Might need to give it a couple weeks depending on your rank and when you get crawled...
