I am facing serious issues with herflang tag. Either tags are not working or some other issues, as when we search keywords on Google Australia it shows UK page results and when we search in google uk it shows Australia page results. What is this issues? If you want to analyze the site go to <snip>

Also google is not caching some page for uk site as well.

Some webmasters use copied web templates and don't bother changing the those tags. This causes Google to find many websites with inaccurate tags so Google looks for other signals to determine what sites should be included in the results.

Also the searching IP is taken into consideration re: language.

Treat each language section as new content (as mentioned above by goodroi) and take no short cuts. Meanwhile, and I have been at this since 1999, there is no difference in English, regardless of country. Anglos are not offended and neither are Yanks. Keep that part simple! And what serious difference between Canadian and British can there be? English is English, no matter how colorfully it might be spelled.
