I changed my campaign settings today to Regional Targeting and only chose one state. So, why aren't my ads showing up in that state?

Also, what does this mean for AOL and other affiliate sites? Will my ads still show up on those sites now that I've changed to regional targeting?

I have noticed our regional ads are not showing up and we have had no impressions for a couple of weeks.

Yes, our impressions have been low too. Since AOL and other partner sites of Google are not yet using regional targeting, I had to keep running my national campaign. Also, if anyone's ISP is protected then Google cannot locate their region and therefore they would only see national ads. So, are you really better off using regional targeting? I'm not sure it's worth it. Maybe down the road when AOL and other partner sites start using regional targeting it would make more sense.
