Hi again Dave,
If that were what I was suggesting (it's not) AND Google decided to implement and support, I suppose it would help Google because they could restrict their SERPs based on the IPs we specified.
However, that's
not what I'm suggesting and I suspect it would be wildly impractical.
What I am suggesting is focused specifically on this forum topic, which relates to geographically based IP blocking (topic title: "Google Says Blocking Countries Outside of the US is Against") we should be able to tell Google which
countries we intend to block.
Not specific IPs, but country blocks of IPs.
And I'm suggesting a list of countries for either inclusion/exclusion be added to the Google Webmaster Tools.
