Content network and geography

do regional settings apply?

Does anyone know if the regional settings you apply to a campaign work on the content network?
My weblogs show a lot of traffic from the USA, and its no use to me since I only operate in England.
The adwords campaign is set to display in England only, but I get an awful lot of clicks from the content network, is that where the USA traffic originates from?

Hi

All AW ad displays should respect your geo settings, but neither G's mapping of client IP address to location *nor that of YOUR stats package* is going to be 100% accurate.

What is likely is that your log analysis is *reporting* clicks as coming from US locations inaccurately, eg by seeing a .com on the DNS reverse lookup of the client's address.

Try looking up some of the addresses in somewhere such as [hostip.info....]
