Campaign and Adgroup Settings - Geo vs.National

    I am running a world-wide ppc campaign for the first time and this is my problem, I really hope someone can help.

    I am running a national and continental campaign of general bland keywords like
    "Widgets for sale". This campaign is further broken down into different adgroups for optimization purposes

    NOW, I want to go GEO on the individual states/provinces. Obviously I want to target market specific keywords in my national campaign i.e. "blue widgets in Miami Florida" to attract clickers in other states seeking that product.

    Then I want to target the GENERAL keywords i.e. "Widgets for sale" in specific Geo regions like Atlanta Georgia. The problem is this.

    When I target GENERAL keywords in my Geo Campaigns it cancels out the keywords in my National campaign limiting my ad exposure to the best performing ads between both campaigns.

    Sorry for writing so much .. Aubrey

    If I understand you correctly there is little you can do - Google will not allow you to have two ads showing for the same site.
