Domain not listed in correct geographic area

Question
-
Our web site www.coordimax.com is hosted in the U.S. but is an Australian company with an Australian IP address (218.214.146.243)
MSN indexes the site as a Canadian site.
I have used a geo meta tag and we have our 'contact us' page with our local address but this does not fix the problem.
How do I get MSN to index Coordimax as an Australian web site?
Any ideas?Thursday, April 3, 2008 4:48 AM

Hi,
We recognize this is an issue and we hope to provide a tool in the near future, but currently there is no way for us to manually change the market/ geographic location.

Hello geoffmic,
Are you sure your domain is hosted in US ? because whois records shows as given below:
WHOIS information for: coordimax.com:

The site is hosted by Domain Direct (domaindirect.com)
The IP address is 218.214.146.243
Both Google and Yahoo pick up the site as Australian but not MSN.
