  • Publication number: 20120284118
    Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for targeting advertisements to users of a search engine based on collective data and the geographic location of the user.

Advertisers select target criteria that indicate characteristics of a population of users or of a geographic area that are desirable for provision of the advertisement. A geographic granularity or geographic subdivision is specified. Geographic areas of the specified granularity are identified that are associated with collective data that meets the target criteria. As such, the advertisement is provided for presentation to a user that executes a search query from an identified geographic area.
