If you are using Blogger Blogspot, you might have noticed that Google redirects Blogger Blogspot sites to country specific URLs.
For example, if you open a blog whose URL is http://saibatudomt.blogspot.com, it gets redirected to http://saibatudomt.blogspot.com.br, since I am from Brasil. Similarly, a visitor from UK would see http://saibatudomt.blogspot.co.uk and so on.
In a nutshell, Google implemented country specific domains so that is a site need to be blocked in a certain country but made available on others.
