Default An seo beginner with a few problems

Ok - here goes - first up - how do I get my PPC ads to show JUST for UK page searches, not for any english speaking search? We're wasting a lot of money on clicks from overseas that bring us no business.

Also, my site has dropped from page 5 in free searches to page 11 in one week
www.codestone.net/solutions/sap-business-one.htm
we made a couple of keyword changes last week, but that seems a big drop to happen in such a short time for such a small change!

Any tips/ideas much appreciated.

You should be able to find something of the answer in the AdWords support page at:
https://adwords.google.com/support/b...py?answer=6277 It explains how you can limit the appearance of your ads to certain countries and regions.
However, I suspect you can't stop people from overseas doing searches that show them your ad. If they then click on it, there's really nothing you can do but live with it. For instance, even some pointed comment with appropriately polite wording is going to be read too late to have any effect!
