regional keywords one shows others don't

[glenncz]

I have an Adwords account and it is assocated with my region. I have a bunch of keywords, one works, meaning my add shows up on the right, the others don't. Now sometimes there are other ads that show up and i guess they are paying more or are more popular, but even when i click to end of those I don't see mine. Also, when I used the Google Tool to test my keywords it says, computer is outsid of region, well, why would one of them work always? - thanks, glenn

Welcome to WW, Glenncz.
Adwords regional setting ads will still compete with national ads that are displaying, so that's why you are seeing some of the ads consistent.
The best way to do a regional campaign is to have two campaigns: one national campaign with regional names in the title or description lines, with plenty of national-related negative keywords (like other city or region names), and 2) a regional campaign that focuses on your local area.
Good luck!
