    I've triple checked that I have the campaign set to show to US visitors only, but for some reason I'm still getting clicks from Australia, I have no idea why.

    Maybe they are arriving via organic search results?

    it's actually because some of our IP blocks are confused with international ones. For instance, in Google the IP address i have in our DataCentre shows as Brisbane through AAPT. However AwStats reports that same IP address as China. There is also the use of proxy tunneling combined with regional settings in the browser which can make an IP appear as USA or EU and additionally the regional setting on your browser indicate AUS.

    Confused yet? Try explaining that same question to dozens of clients a week =S
