It is nigh impossible to "trace" links to a particular location...
The links are in most cases linked to a "dummy" server, and, to boot, a lot of these people move around incredibly, ie locations.
I saw a doco a fair few years ago on SBS that showcased how hackers and the like set themselves up in run-down warehouses, old office buildings etc etc and ran their "businesses" from these premises.
These people where very well informed and if they got wind of the law enforcement agencies bearing down on them, they would pick up (in some cases a single server, and peripherals!) and run their dealings from somewhere else.
Very hard to pin these people down. And...they aren't stupid.
