Hi there, I run a website for a charity based in the UK with a .org.uk domain name. The charity is primarily involved in conservation work in Asia. We have some good rankings in google.co.uk but are well down the list on google.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to get higher on google in this situation?

Thanks a lot.

You seem to have a good number of co.uk backlinks, now direct the focus on getting quality dot com links from web 2.0 properties, Forum posts and articles.

With a country specific TLD, you are clearly telling SE's  that you want to rank high in UK. But what I understand from your question is that you want to target Asian audience. For that,
- Set your preferred geographic location (Asia) in Google webmaster tools
- Add your website to local directories
- Get listed on Google places, bing local search and Yahoo! local
- Get listed on local classified websites
- Get backlinks from local websites
- Get active on niche related communities which are popular in your country
- Get citations for your listings
- Use geographically targeted keywords in your website content.

With a ccTLD, if you wish to rank high for both local as well as global searches, I fear that's going to be a hard one.

According to me,you should collect quality backlinks from web directories,article and forum to get back your previous ranking.

First you have to do on-page optimization properly such as keyword selection, Quality and relevant content and relevant domain name. Then provide back to your website from local relevant and quality websites.
(I know, harsh forum rules. But can't have forum associated with file sharing.)
