I am in Canada and my ISP moved to host in the US without telling me. Half their first level support don't even know this. Many companies are doing this to save money. I don't know how when the Canadain dallar is less than the USD. Anyway I looked into your IP 216.180.225.50 and it looks like it is in the US not SAUDI ARABIA.

Who is says United States - Georgia - Atlanta

Drop your IP into a few areas on this site and you will see it is consistant to Atlanta.

The problem with comes when people search google.ca or they select the radio button "pages from Canada". See how you rank in the search engine with that option selected. I was missing in there for years because I was hosted in the US. My ISP fixed this or google got smart because now I rank well in both areas.
