Who has a .to, .asia, .bs or .tv domain???
Can you report back on whether you have the ability to specify the country target in Google webmaster tools I see comment that .bs is only the Bahamas And .asia can be set for a specific country The good thing about a non country domain is that you can add subdirectories, or subdomains to Google webmaster tools for that domain, and so use that domain for multiple countries. Ie register domain.asia/my in webmaster tools for Malaysia I have noticed in the past 6 months or so that the country bias has been reduced. There are many more international domains in the top ten for google.country than there had been.

Now *there's* an interesting question. I've never thought about it before as other than the global top level domains (gtlds) such as .com, .info, .org, .net and .mobi I've only got involved in .nz, and .uk names. What is the Google take on the country specific top level domains that are misused as psuedo gtlds? It would be absurd to treat all .tv names as being from Tuvalu, and .to names as Tongan. -- Bruce Clement When a co-worker said he didn't want his kids getting the H1N1 vaccine because it was too new and "they haven't tested it enough", I blurted out something like, "So you'd rather test a new and poorly understood virus on them instead?" I'm not entirely proud of fighting vague and irrational fear of the unknown by invoking vague and irrational fear of the unknown, but I think it did make an impression.
