    Okay I am in a competitive market and can see almost all competitors advertising with adwords. 1 person I know has an account, but I can not ever see any of there ads anywhere in the USA using ad preview. Is there a way to block someone like myself from ever seeing there ad?

    Maybe they aren't targeting location where you are searching from?

    Can you see your own ads?

    When I go to adpreview, I can see my own ads and every competitor except 1. I know they are advertising, but it bothers me that they are somehow blocking my ip or something. I know that you can choose to not advertise in certain parts of the country, but when i go to other parts and still cant see the ads, something is up. Google would help me and said sorry if they dont want you to see there ads we cant do anything about it. The question i wanted answered is how do i not let him see my ads if he wants to play that game!
