For example, my company is a multimational company which is based in Switzerland. So for some reason when I am working form my office in NY, I get ads that are directed to a European market, b/c from my IP address it thinks I’m there.

I can’t really explain how this works, as I’m just a mere programmer, however, I think it makes sense.

It seems the IP Intelligence wouldn’t work so well in these types of circumstances.
