Question on using adwords on a global scale

Id like to set up an adwords spend specifically to a region - in this case id like the ad campaign to run exclusively in Singapore.

I am based in the US - does anyone know if it is better to host in Singapore to get a better response to adwords or doesnt it matter.

Anyone done this - just interested in anyones experience and thoughts - thanks and have a great week.

Listerdl,

As long as you have your account configured correctly there is no reason why you can't run it from the U.S.

I would set up a separate campaign with different settings. If you are advertising in Singapore, make sure the native language for the campaign is appropriate and set to only that (not sure what they speak in Singapore). Obviously your ads and keywords need to be in that language as well.

The toughest part about advertising in any medium is understanding the market and your audience. It may be markedly different than ones you are used to dealing with.

Here are some other good write-ups on international campaigns in Adwords,
