I looked at the top 20 for "web design" on the various English language Gs, concentrating on the international sites I noticed the same ones featured across the board with only minor ranking variations and with just one exception on G.in. This international site didn't appear in the other "English" regionals, and when I looked at its link profile it was pretty obvious it had employed an Indian linkage service. Circumstantial I know, but if I wanted to rank on a particular G I'd be looking to get at least some local links.....
