Quick question that may have a lengthy answer. I have serious geographical leaks. With only one city targeted I still get 20 - 30% of my traffic from other countries. Can’t seem to plug the holes! How are they getting in? VPN’s!? NOTE: excluding the countries where the unwanted traffic is coming from does not seem to help. Thanks guys, I’m totally new to the group and hope to learn a great deal. If anyone wants help on design/production related issues I’ll do what I can. I live in Hong Kong.

@replacement 20 - 30% never happened to me and I think it's a lot of leak to deal with, hope someone have an idea to solve it

So. if I’m from Hong Kong and I’m at a business meeting in Miami, Florida and when I’m in the hotel room checking my Facebook I see your ad. It’s gonna show up where it was delivered not where I’m from. I don’t know your niche but does this scenario make any sense? I have Malaysia as where I live in my FB because I’m here for six weeks and want to be served Ads that a local would get. When I first got here ad still have my city back home as where I lived in I was getting their ads.
