Thank you for the post! Much appreciated 🙂

Everett: I’m very happy you like my work. You must be like my only blog subscriber 😀

As you mentioned there are many ways a search engine can determine a geographical location. Google has published some patents, and I reference a blog post that talks more about their take on things. At the end of the day, it’s a series of hints, some more powerful than others, that propel your site up the SERPs.

It lets you know, right away, what percentage of your backlinks are coming from .edu, .net, .com, etcetera.

As for how a SE might determine your geolocation, try reading the following Patent Application out of Mountainview, CA if you haven’t already:

Address Geocoding
Published on August 23, 2005
Patent Application Number 664902

I talk about this in a blog entry last week titled:
Why You Should Always Include A Text Address on Your Home Page

ANOTHER great tool by eKstreme! Donna, I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to this guy’s blog. I wish I could code like that. 🙁
