I do not think ccTLD and server locations are strong geo signals any longer. Tested ccTLD (io) & served/hosted in KO and it outranks global brands in the US for many keywords.

Naver SEO - If your website is using NPay, Your organic data may drop as NPay will act as a referral instead of Naver organic traffic. FYI

Our agency is now 1 of 62 agencies out of more than 3,000 agencies in South Korea to become an official NAVER and KAKAO (Daum) Partner Agency. This means if you know me, you now have direct access to the platforms full offerings. ❤️

Naver gave me their license two weeks ago. Today, Kakao gave me their license. Our agency is now officially connected to both platforms! So super stoked! ❤️

Fire over at Kakao servers. All services including Daum is down for an undetermined duration.

Proud to be 1 of 62 agencies in the world to hold the title of Official Naver Search Partner with global capabilities as a privately owned agency. Now on Naver’s website. ❤️

So heartbreaking. 146 confirmed dead at the Itaewon incident earlier today. People still partying and having fun? Humanity in this country is going backwards.
