How does google recognise which country a website comes from?

For instance, when I search for google results with the button %26#039;pages from Australia%26#039; ... then only Australian results show... however its not based on the url (i.e. .com.au) because some .com%26#039;s show up as well... so is it the hosting company%26#039;s location, or is it the domain registration country?

The ISP location.

How does google recognise which country a website comes from?

it says it in the url ussualy

google.com.mx mexico

google.com.ca canada

google.com.cn china

the sites from the countries will all end the same

and the IP from the site can tell where the ISP is located

Other Replys:your IP address is specail to that country

Other Replys:Google knows where you live! what sites you go to! how long your at the site! what browser your using and lots lots more!!

Don%26#039;t underestimate the powers of Google.;)

Other Replys:THEIR WEBSITE ,INTERNET CONNECTION

Other Replys:Your ISP purchases a range of IP addresses and registers their location. That information is freely available.

Google know the ip address that you are connecting from. They can look up that address in a database.
