    I have two .com domain name which are hosted in hostgator. I have almost indentical setting, but google treat one dot com domain as international domain, and another domain is New Zealand based domain. Any body knows what causes the problem?

    By the way, I haven't change the anything on google webmaster tool for Set geographic target.

    When I do the domain name search in google.co.nz, and specified "pages from New Zealand", this website: http://webhostingreviews4u.com shows in the result, but my another website: http://muscle-building-review.com doesn't show in the New Zealand result, but show in Search the web (international) result.

    Thanks for your advice!

    webhostingreviews4u.com - because your whois information says New Zealand.

    muscle-building-review.com, that one will show up from New Zealand too, but as its pretty new domain google needs some time to determinate.

    I have another domain which is older than webhostingreviews4u.com, and its whois information also shows it is in New Zealand. But when I do google.co.nz search, it only show the international result, not local result. It is really weird.
