The whole Geo Targetting thing is a bit back-to-front IMO. I don't understand why Google don't let the webmaster simply specify the countries &/or regions for any domain irrespective of extension myself. If I want to target my website at all English speaking countries in Google for example, I can't without deploying multiple domains, subs, directories etc and making lots of extra, unnecessary and largely duplicated cutter.

I don't follow why they should make the assumption that, say, a .co.uk is targetted at UK users when it is more logical to assume it's simply owned by a UK company rather than targetting that region.
