Google Webmaster's Tools Geographical Target Bring Any Effects?

[wgn_white]

Hi, I want to ask from anyone who set the preferred geographical target in Google Webmster's Tools.

When you change to target a specific country, does it work?

Thanks.

Your question is not clear. Are you speaking about Google Analytics or Google Webmaster Tools?

You should set geo-target in WMT if you're targetting a non-US country with a generic TLD.

Here is some little experiment of mine:
I own an affiliate .org site that was positioned on the 12th position. After I've set the geotarget on "Romania", my site went up on the 6th position.

Does it help? Definitely!
