Does anyone have a list of Google search partners? Being in the UK I’m only being shown some of the bigger UK partners on the Google help page.
Recently noticed some unfamiliar low quality sites showing up in the logs that are showing our ads (these are not adsense publishers, but contain the tracking code for the search network). Disappointing to see such a low quality site being able to show ads as part of the search network when there are far better quality adsene sites.
This low quality UK partner of a Google partner is showing our ad worldwide when our ad should only be seen by UK visitors. Clicking the ad redirects to a larger US network which i presume is the Google partner site.
Would this register as a valid billable click when a non UK visitor clicks this ad? Does Google presume your ad will be correctly geo targeted and only displayed to your selected targets or do they check the location of the IP when its clicked?
