Google By Continent

Someone came across something interesting this morning... DNS entries for Google continents. For example Europe.

Not sure exactly what they are for.... maybe groupings of data centers, maybe nothing. But it's still interesting.

There is some discussion about it over here.

Wow, that is really interesting. Searched for "business search europe" and on regular google.com I am third for my website www.eurofind.biz, but on the Europe subdomian og Google this site ranks first.

This is clearly Europe geo targetting.
