Server location

[Jathan]

Does the physical location of the server affect ads that are displayed? If I am in the UK, and someone from the USA hits my page, does google automatically display ads for the US?

I am struggling to figure out why I get so many low value clicks. I blocked a ton of MFA's and such. I seem to get traffic from the US, but half my clicks end up < 0.05.

Any info is appreciated

I don't think the server location matters. This may answer your question:

The AdSense program uses geotargeting to serve Google ads to your pages - ads are specific to a user's region and language, based on their IP address. This means that the ads that are served to a user from Australia may be different than those that appear for a user from Canada. Geotargeting makes the ads even more relevant for visitors to your site, and also means that you may not see all of the ads that can be served to your pages.

Yeah, I read that before. Thanks for the link though. I don't think I have been smart priced, but my last 4 clicks have been under 5 cents. I was using analytics, and most of my traffic is US based. So I was just grabbing at straws trying to figure out wtf is going on.
