I noticed I am #2 on google, #2 on google Australia, and don’t show up on the first page for google Canada, I’m just curious how they are all tied together.

How well "foreign" pages feature on regional Gs usually depends on the strength of the "local" competition, would that fit your picture?

Yes, I was thinking the same, thank you for your reply. It's helpful to know that you were thinking the same.

Google.CA is similar to Google.com except it also includes French results. Note the two search options "the web" or "pages from Canada".

If you specify "en-CA" it may help with Canada.

Also, where is or in what country is your server located?

"Google.CA is similar to Google.com.."

Not sure where you get that, using a US proxy for the .com the top ten searches for "web design" returns just 3 pages common to both, and one of them is Wickipedia....
