Does that actually work? The last three ISPs I've had have all displayed me as being from the south of england on a "GEOLocation" site and I'm in the top north of Scotland.

I want to target only people in Wales with my ads so I have excluded England, Scotland and Northern Ireland in my settings but I get the feeling that I might be heading into a lot of trouble. Anyone else tried and tested their system? I'm assuming it is working on a GEOLocation thingy?

Thanks
Mike

Before i moved to Oz, i tried to do that in the UK but didn't see the results i wanted to. Google's Geo Location targeting in the UK ins't up to the challenge yet.

As you know the ISP's are all over the place and if someone is in Wales searching, they may show as birmingham, manchester and pretty much any ISP location in the UK.

Check your logs to see where the visitors are coming from, but bear in mind this list is going to be pretty much ineffective as well in my opinion.
