Hi, I have a site that is #1 on google.com but im having trouble ranking #1 on google.ca. I know a big part of this has to do with host location and the targeting on the google webmaster but i cant change it to target canada cause i might lose my position on google.com. So my main option is simply gettin more links from canadian sites but ive been having trouble figuring out how to find candian sites (blogs, forums, etc) where i can do some commentin or posting to get more backlinks. So how can I find some canadian sites to build some backlinks? are there any google search tricks i can use to find some? or anything else i can do?
