| Re: Local Character Adwords explode in Japan
Yeah actually Edwin is right.
Since we both have been part of the internet market in japan we have both seen Adwords based on Japan figures for years.
Google hasn't really done any fabulous new promotions in Tokyo recently.
A lot of the info I gave lets people know that a lot of the info out there can be limited to local data. I think about & do business in both worlds so a lot of the research I did was obvious to me but not everyone.
Most people in Japan actually already limit Adword campaign to just Japan & have been doing it for a long time. They already know they may basically want to target the Kanto area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba) for example.
Truthfully I wrote this on another forum but I think the Yahoo version of text ads in not to dominate the English market. It's for Asia... Yahoo auction was the reason Ebay didn't fly well & closed down.
Many people know & trust Yahoo in Japan. I expect them to own the text ad market for Japan in a year after they release the Japan version.
