Geotargeting non-com domains

This is just ridiculuos: Why can't you change GEO target for country specific domains. Don't you think?

Quote:
If your site is registered with a country-specific domain, you cannot target users who are outside of that country. There must be an association between your country-specified domain and your target audience.


Has anyone noticed a traffic slowdown which may be blamed for this?

Hmm, interesting, I didn't realise that this was explicitly stated in the Google webmaster site..

Makes you wonder whether all those Television stations that use the Tuvalu top level domain .tv for their domain names are causing themselves issues in the SERPs.

Or those that use the .us domain such as del.icio.us and sscript.aculo.us

Or maybe Google has special measures in place for domains/TLD's such as this.

Exactly... now in one hand, I should not be worried about this issue, because the link structure usually pretty much states, who you are targeting, but anyway... how can Google say what it says. Obviously, there must be no connection between the TLD and the targeted audience!!!
