That is very interesting as I have seen very few cases where backlinks had this effect. Nice to hear of an actual confirmation of this as I am stuck with a site that are based in a country called Swaziland (.co.sz tld) which is smack bam in the middle of South Africa (our target market). Google seems to think it is based somewhere in the world but not in South Africa, lol

Obtaining South African backlinks to the site unfortunately are allot more difficult than I hoped and I am not ranking anywhere in the local results. Due to legal implications I am not allowed to host the site in South Africa or make use of the SA tld.
Now if links were the only issue you might be on track. However the algorithim is over 100 parts so to say you know definitely is a reach.
