No sales all day Monday then at 11pm , 2am and 5 am consecutive sales from Australia. No sales all day Monday then at 11pm , 2am and 5 am consecutive sales from Australia. My site is set to target US traffic only. Funny how a 20M market is producing more than a 330M market.

backdraft7 - As soon as I saw news of the update, I kind of expected to see you here. Thanks for the report. I'm sorry it keeps hitting you. I've been wanting to jump into this thread, just as I'd been wanting to return to a discussion I started almost a year ago, but was unable to follow up....

Among other things, I've wanted to thank Shaddows for his key posts in that thread as well for his 2010 Traffic Shaping thread, which tedster linked to above.

I've since come to think that traffic shaping isn't just about Panda, and have been thinking for a while that it had to do with all Google testing, much of which I've assumed is about localization.

Please forgive this very hasty post, but I'm seeing something tonight that bears on your post above, and I wanted to hook up various threads. Note this discussion about geo-confusion (or is it testing?) between the US and Australia in the May SERPs thread...
