As you may know, I am based in the UK for part of each year. This has lead to me doing some considerable work on optimization for UK search engines, especially uk.msn.com.
One of the major considerations that many of my competitors overlooked is the location of your webhost. Search engines in the UK give more weight to websites hosted in the UK, and with MSN especially this advantage has been enough to help me claim many number one slots for competitive keywords.
Web hosting UK is traditionally expensive, but FreeZone.co.uk have UK based servers where you can get a full featured account for just £1.49/month.
