Google AdWords has added a couple of new features to aid you (and me) in running your campaigns. Here&#8217;s the breakdown:<\/p>\n<p>IMPROVEMENT #1 &#8211; Location Targeting<\/p>\n<p>If you used the AdWords geographic targeting tool before, you know that you chose could choose areas, but if you only wanted to choose one certain part of a country to target, you had to create a separate campaign for it. In other words if you wanted to choose all of Asia and just the Western states of the U.S., you had to do 2 campaigns. 1 for Asia, 1 for the US states. Now you can choose both in one campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The new targeting tool takes the form of an interactive map. That&#8217;s a great improvement over the old-school list of nation\/state\/city names that preceded this. With the map you can make choices in different countries at different levels of specificity.<\/p>\n<p>Still, having not used this yet myself, I&#8217;m unsure how well you can tell the campaign is doing in one area over another if they&#8217;re in the same campaign. There&#8217;s always the option of an analytics campaign tracking it, but that adds another step to getting to that data &#8211; assuming that you can&#8217;t see it from inside AdWords, that is.<\/p>\n<p>Improvement #2 will be addressed in the next post.
