UK v US ad units

I keep getting UK ads on a USA site

[peewhy]

I have two sites on the same theme. One for the UK, the other for USA.

Both are totally totally different in every shape and form.

The UK is fine and shows UK ad units.

The USA is honed, tweaked and optimised for the USA but still shows UK based ads.

Is this simply because I am based in the UK, as is the server, or could it be that Adsense recognises my region and displays UK ad units, but those in other countries would see their geographic ad links?

Any ideas anyone?

May I also take this opportunity to wish each of you, and yours, a healthy and prosperous new year.

yes.

the ads are served to the end user.

Thanks, I was hoping it was the case and didn't want to drive myself mad 'over optimising' for the USA.

That's how it's supposed to work, but for some reason I'm seeing ads displaying in German today, instead of English with a UK focus :o

peewhy: if you download the Adsense preview tool, you can preview 24 geo-targeted countries. Use this to see what ads are displaying on your US targeted site.

Good idea!

Many thanks.

I've downloaded the preview tool but it isn't showing in either moz or ie.

I've restarted but still no avail?

Cancel that!
