Targeting Location

    Hello,

    I'm pretty new to adwords and can't figure something out. My ads are targeting USA and Canada. I changed them to USA, Canada and United Kingdom, but everytime I come back to see if it's targeting the UK, it goes back to USA and Canada. I've changed it a couple of times and it still doesn't change. Does it take time to change or am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks,

    David James

    Sound pretty cool with Adwords system with it's own mind! ;-)

    I would suggest refreshing page, with (shift+f5) and trying one more time, and be sure you hit the save button and not just closing the windows after choosing United Kingdom!

    Good luck

    yeah I'm really new to the ppc's. I can't get it to switch over to UK for some odd reason. I think I'm going to buy the adwords for dummies book...

    You should leave some time for Adwords to update your account. Don't check it immediately after you changed the targeting.

    targeting is updated in the system immediately but it may not show up on the UK site for a few hours

    after updating, wait 2 or 3 days.
