    I want to start doing PPC but am afraid of getting in over my head too quick. I know you can set daily budgets but I want to start out with an effective plan that will get enough clicks early to see how it's working. I was wondering about doing heavy geo-targeting based on marketing info that shows an index of buying propensity for my target by region.

    If you have data showing that your target lives in a higher proportion in certain cities, are you better off limiting the buy to those cities.... or, is it more about getting a CTR which may be just as high or higher in cities not on the hit list?

    Any feedback on this point would be very appreciated. thanks to all.
    :)

    use frequency capping and try to improve the quality of your ads. Geo-targeting is a good idea but you may not get any click so be careful about this

    MM88,

    city targeting may be too precise. Go for a region around your target city.

    Be careful with PPC. I suggest starting with a modest "training" budget until you get the hang of it.
