  Our site gets a lot of spammers from India and other countries asking us to outsource work to them. That was fine but recently we've started doing lots of split testing and the spammers were throwing off our data so we had to take some steps to clean up our data so we can make better decisions. Sorry!

      I agree, though the difference between HN traffic and spammer traffic is that spammers will fill out the contact form, which counts as conversions which is a lot worse. In either case, I have disabled my tests as well as the country blocker so you should be able to see the site now. Hopefully Visual Website Optimizer will add ability to test just certain countries soon.
