hi all
What i want to know is how does google class a site as Australian, or Indian, or Chinese etc?
Does it depend on the domain name, or where the server is physically located or is there any other factor involved?

It depends on both! If your site is physically located in Australia (by IP) OR has ".au" TLD than it will show up on the Austalian search results..

hello

The ads are not targeted by the location of your site, but by the location the visitor is coming from, you site can be In India but if the visitor is from Germany he will see a german targeted ad.

I agree
Google looks at IP of the hosting and the domain (.au for example)... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

According to me
Domain TLD, IP address and the words in the page. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

It makes a diffrence
both from where the visitors comes and from the location of the site. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Guys, are you talking from the personal experience? I have a website that have ".net" TLD and located in US, and though it has Canadian content (words like Canada and Toronto) and many IBL's from Canadian sites, but it still doesn't show up on Google Canadian results... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

The IP location, the TLD and the location of the sites that link to it all factor,

Visitor location and on-page text don't make a difference
