Looking at my Google analytics and this shows up as a referral path /try.php
I have recently spent a few quid on google advertising (PPC) which was meant to be targeted locally. I am now wandering if people in other countries like Brazil are costing me money. Is there a way to find out where the money has been spent.

If you have signed up to Google analytics all the info should be there in your adword section with a detailed report of your companies

Looking at the campaign management I can see americanoverlook.com boredpenguin.com wikihow.com under "placement" which is the bulk of the cost.

Found it! 25 clicks for G12 post code = £63.25 some areas are averaging at £5.42 (CPC)
Over all the different adds cost around 20% of the revenue for that period. The main thing is I wasn't paying for clicks outwith the targeted areas.

Have you gained any decent work from it though?

Google adwords has been terrible for me so far.  35 clicks and 5 of them sales calls telling me how they can get me.more business.  Had a go at one of them, as they are pretty much charging me to give me a sales call.

Not bothering with it when my £75 free credit runs out.
