How Would Country Specific Redirection Affect Your Blog / Website
1. A Reduction in Social Statistics - Your social media statistics such as Facebook shares, likes, Google +1s and so on may vary depending on what country your visitors came from. Because your blog has a different domain name in every country and social media will not recognize that.
2. A Problem with External Commenting Platform - This is a big problem if you're using Disqus commenting platform on your blog. Because the blog URLs is not the same even if the page is just the same.

For example if someone wrote an articles and add a link directly to your blog, that someone may use a country specific top-level domain like ".in .fr .ph .my .sg .ru and etc" instead of top level domain which is ".com".
