Does anyone have any idea what the geo mapping rules are for Google ads placed on websites?

For example - i have seen UK ads on US sites. How does Google decide what the geo location is of the website?

Is it a combination of hosting / linking structure or some other factor?

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

It's mainly the geo-location of the END USER not of the site that selects ads.

IE expect a UK user to see mainly UK-targetted ads wherever the Web server happens to be.
