Google hates Wales (not the mammals)

Posted on February 3, 2009 by gabs

Ok haven’t blogged for an age here… So now that I have a tiny amount of time I thought I’d blog a little now and again..Â

So google hates Wales…Â

Well i’ve been away snowboarding for a week as per norm this time of year and brought the snow back to the UK with me 😀 …Â

So today I thought I’d raise my PPC budget after dropping for the time i’m away.. “as per norm” ..Â

Pretty simple.. I raise the daily cap.. done..Â

Me been being bored this am I have a looky at google “Campaign Optimiser” Which states :

Your campaign’s recent performance shows that some targeted locations perform better for you than others. We recommend that you focus on those regions that have higher Click-through rates than your current average.

The Sad/funny thing is I target the UK only with this campaign thus select uk.. Simple yes ?Â

Well. Google thinks Wales is just no good for me.. Â Google suggest removing wales from my geo-targetting which would increase my CTR..Â

wired thing is it will increase CTR and result in less imp’s and clicks.. Odd..Â

Here is the map of the proposed locations:Â

This is why removing wales is better :

    When you do SEO,
    you don’t rank because of the relevancy of your page, you rank because
    you manipulate google’s search algorithm. With that said, if SEO’s
    are allowed to have their way, the quality and relevancy of google’s
    search results will plummet and google will soon be a thing of the
    past.
