One has to put enormous bids in order to get enough visitors and then the ROI suffers...Flux Travelhttp://www.fluxtravel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29875741.post-9461514361022632542009-08-03T08:59:37.158+10:002009-08-03T08:59:37.158+10:00Had a slight idea it had to to with being signed i...Had a slight idea it had to to with being signed in into your google account or not.

All ads were for what you would expect.<br /><br />Searched: Hotels in Orlando. All ads were for Orlando hotels.<br /><br />Searched: Hotels. All ads were generic hotel ads or Montreal and Quebec hotel ads (I'm in Montreal so this makes sense).<br /><br />Disappointed I wasn't able to replicate your results, I then searched: Hotels in Cairo. And I was served a few Vancouver hotel ads!!<br /><br />So, in effect, I was able to replicate this phenomenon.Jeffhttp://blog.openplaces.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29875741.post-13617722414264983742009-08-01T00:13:00.107+10:002009-08-01T00:13:00.107+10:00I appreciate the labor you have put in developing ...I appreciate the labor you have put in developing this blog.
