Again, GeoMarketing can NEVER be 100% accurate ALL THE TIME.

There are a number of variables at play. The geo solution provider where you get your "database" from, who owns the IPs in what city (which ISP), whether or not you're surfing on proxies or AOL, etc.

BTW - It is my understanding that AOL has cut deals with a number of ISP's to offer service - so not all IP's are in Virginia. (Although I could be wrong)

Also, under the condition that (for whatever reason) our system can not read the IP at all or the're no relevent data for a particular IP - then it will literally default to the words "YOUR TOWN" or "YOUR CITY" ... this way at least the ad makes sense

For example: "Meet hot chicks in YOUR TOWN!"
