"Like it is better to use a VPN to look at your keywords in google, and to act like you are from the US, because it looks totally different from Belgium or in your case Iceland than from the US when you google a keyword."

Exactly! Too. Jay said that VPN was  just selling trick. But I was so lucky to work in some years in software security company (even so that was not my division).
There, I could see the company, very well respected in Birmingham, which took all virus defense software each year and checked it out.
2 was always on the top. One of it was cheap so I took that many years ago and they have been perfect! The neatral company said that they took 98%.
Many famous were with only 60-70%.
This company had stress to sue VPN (of course, it needs to be good) as a defense. And because of that I found the same thing out as you.

About the pins, I admit I was saving time. I always do 15 for 5 days, 5 for each post.

I have personally never seen that myself, but my Pinterest has been VERY slow recently, it's loading time takes a bit to long.
