    Hi. I'm new to adsense.

    I'm from Sweden, but I run a forum with 99,9% americans... Since, I have adsense ads on them I would like the ads to be for the americans.

    When I grabbed the code from adsense I'm sure I filled in that the ads should be english, and most are... but some of the ads when I view them are actually in swedish.

    I wonder, is this because there's code in the ads, that can see I have a swedish IP and thus show me some swedish ads OR are the americans seeing swedish ads aswell? That would be disastrous. :p

    If it's alternative number one, and I see swedish ads because I'm in Sweden and they see americans ads in the US... Is there any way I can see what the americans (99,9% of my visitors) are seeing from here, or do I have to fly to the US to see........?? :confused: :confused:


    thx in advance for any replies.... :(

    Its is number 2, because you are in Sweden they geo-target ads that are relevant to you.

    If you want to see what your friends over the Pond see, go use a proxy that is based in the US and go to your site.

    Problem SOLVED!

    Applauses all round
