I am not 100% sure about this, but this is the normal way of consideration. Normally, Google also looks at which data center the user has been querying and based on that it decided the location. It tries its best to give you the location accurately, but sometimes, the mechanism fails, therefore the not set comes in.

Domain name change is a very tough decision and changing domain name to accommodate keywords wouldnt work to bump up rankings.

I would do a deep analysis of the website and do some better interlinking coupled with great inbound marketing. Maybe a viral video or something as well...

Changing domain solve your problem. Remember what happened to meta keywords?

There are some instances when Google is unable to decipher the country/tld for a visitor. Eg. Opening Google.com in Australia. Thats why the Google (not set)

I found matt cutts video which says that keyword rich domains are being devalued.

I would recommend doing more brand awareness exercises rather than switching domain names for a more keyword rich domain.

Subdomains do not work very well. I would go in with a folder within the domain itself. I would further name the folder something intuitive which would lead more people finding information about your client's niche to the website. The architecture is very important for the KB as it can be very effective in terms of cross selling as well.

Go to your GA account. Then, click on traffic sources>search engines.

This will give you a report containing Google, Bing and other search engines. If you have visitors from multiple countries, you would be seeing Google mentioned multiple times in your report.

If you see carefully, you will the table header (just above the listing and this would normally say:

Source (a dropdown), None (another dropdown) followed by visits, page/visits, time on site, bounce rates etc etc.

click on the none dropdown and select country/territory from the menu that appears. You should be able to see different country visits from Google.

Hope that helps.

Google removal requests take a while to get answered (considering the volumes they have to handle). Its best to wait out for sometime. In the meatime, you could add a 301 to your IP to your root domain name from your .htaccess file.

I would be very interested to know from mozzers, how their experience has been with traffic share.

While you answer, please be kind enough to share the following:

1. The niche of the website you wish to quote in your answer.

2. The means of promotion you use (SEO, Social Media, PPC, Display, Affiliate)

3. The reason you think you cited this example and do you think it has been a success or a failure or somewhere in the middle?

Appreciate your time, thanks.
