The post is great but it describes an opposite situation of targeting multilingual countries, while this one discusses targeting same-language countries. @Software Testing : huge thanks for the link!

However both google and yahoo ip target their results, so that a uk user visiting google.com, will get uk boosted results (but not as much as the uk specific index), along with with uk based SEM. A point missed in your discourse is the importance of US vs UK server IP addresses, both google and yahoo use the ip-address geo-location of your servers to further position the pages you are serving in its regionally boosted indexes. The largely ineffectual option in the webmaster tools was supposed to allow you to set the physical location of your domain, but i think some google engineer forgot to connect the check-box up to any actual code. A final method is to use a technique known as TASER. a set of agent sensitive rewrite rules, that map the sites domain to the domain you wish it to be indexed as, but only for the bot. A corresponding set of non robot conditional rules map back the url's for people clicking through from the search engine, for certain situations it can be very effective. the uk/us debate is a little mute, as only 10-15% of uk users use the UK index directly.
