Hi Dan - yes, this seems a relatively new phenomenon. I can see their point - if you were in the travel industry, then this is potentially helpful. However, it is a blunt instrument - this confuses "where do I want my target market" with "and I want anyone in this area".

IMO, it should be up to the advertiser to select what they are prepared to pay for.

OTOH, have you seen how complex the interface is getting now? And that's evn when it *doesn't* have all the data you really need at your fingertips, to manage a keyword :)
