I would say that a large number of 'looks' without buying would send the opposite message: "There is something wrong with your prices!"
The suggestion that prices could differ based on your place of residence - this is contrary to European law (for sales in any EU country). A large German airline with a big bird on its tail was warned by the Commission for doing something like this (actually prohibiting sale of some low fare categories outside of the country of origin, which resulted in higher prices). The Commission made sure all other EU airlines were aware of this.
