Targetting ads for many countries

[sanrishi]

Dear Friends,
I have a campaign targetted for 5 countries. My question is, would my ad be shown for all the countries at the same time if someone searches for the same keyword simultaneously? or
Would it be shown for only one country at one point of time? Please, clarify this.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Rishi

the showing or not showing of the ads depends upon many factors

content or search results
The amount of money you put...as on search pages only some positions are available

You can check the status if your ad is being shown for particular keyword by using tools present within adwords

this will tell if ads are shown in particular country or not

hope this helps

Thanks for your reply.
1. Is it advantageous to run separate campaigns for each countries for same set of keywords? OR
2. Is it advantageous to run a single campaign targetting different countries for same set of keywords?

I tried the no. 1 for some time and got decent clicks and CTR?
After I saw various postings here, I started the no. 2 and I am not getting the same clicks that I used to get it.

I am going crazy. Please , help me on this.
