Google and Dupuytren's
Some very interesting and helpful comments from people yesterday.
It was the relatively high rank in Australia that gave me several clues.
There's been a lot of discussion on the site's forum about the experiences of people in Australia with Dupuytren's. I'm guessing that accounts for Australia giving us a higher ranking than nearly any other country.
Following up from that thought, I wondered what other countries are specifically mentioned on the site. A couple of Canadian clinics are mentioned by name. Sure enough, the ranking on Google Canada is relatively high (I think it was 17) compared to the UK.
There's a lot of variation between countries and it looks as though it partly relates to geographical proximity (such as the Netherlands) and partly due to specific mentions of a country by name such as Canada and Australia.
I guess this theory can be easily tested, as when my treatment is complete (end of next week), I'll be asking my doctor at the hospital if the site can list his details for other people in the UK to contact him. If I'm right, then this should raise the site's ranking on Google UK.
