When I go to google.com I'm automatically redirected to google.ca (I'm in Canada). Is there anyway I can stop this? Digitalpoint is showing hdskate.com ranked 20th for "skateboarding". When I search on google it comes up at about 33. I wanted to see if there was a different on google.com.

I don't know how you could stop the redirection (without going through a proxy server.. it's probably based on your IP range), but searching from google.com it does come up in the No. 20 spot for me.

Look at the bottom of the page:

Advertising Programs - Business Solutions - About Google - Go to Google.com

Click that once and everytime you go to google.com it won't redirect you.

That worked. It's 21 on dot com. Still 33 on dot ca. Kind of surprising that it's different between Canada and the US. I don't mind though. There's more traffic potential coming from the US anyway.
