Three of my weblogs (redemption.co.nz, mutation.co.nz and dslr.co.nz ) are all inside the .nz tld. (sites all non-URLised, since I'm yet to make 15 posts. ****, that's annoying).

Now, for the last one, that's not too much of a problem - the content is generally targetted towards folk in New Zealand.

For the other two (my personal/general weblog, and my business/entrepreneurship weblog), I'm wondering if the fact that they're inside .nz will be limiting them in any SEO sense...

Any experts out there got an opinion/knowledge on this bit?

I'd say a foreign tld could hurt you in the American SE (I don't see many of them in searches other than a few .co.uk). In theory you should be able to still rank though if you got links from American domains.

I don't think .co.nz would be a liability.

That's just a reflection of the fact that there are more .com's than .co.uk's. You don't see too many .us's either.
