This issue is not 100% fixed.

Prior to this 'technical glitch' while driving traffic to GPack referral links resulted in virtually no traffic to the FireFox product. Meaning that if foreign traffic goes to your website, Google geo-locates the IP or country setting of the user, and displays the relevant ad. Prior to this glitch, while displaying only GPack links, 2-3% of traffic was for FF. Now still displaying the GPack link to US-based traffic, 30% of my traffic is driven to the FF link.

If anybody looks at these stats a little more closely, they will see the same pattern as my client is not the only one experiencing this.

My guess is that whatever IP database Google is using to Geolocate the user is incorrect although it could be a bigger issue.
