    From the Adwords website:

      You can target campaigns by cities, countries, metros, and regions. However, a single campaign can only target one geographic area. For example, you can target a campaign by countries or regions, but not both. You can specify multiple values within a single type of geographic area. For example, you could target a campaign by more than one country.

    More info is here:

    http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/adwords_api_geotarget.html

networkTargeting()

    A hashref with keys:

    * networkTypes => arrayref of network names

    Exmaple usage:

        # target only the google search network
    $campaign->networkTargeting({
        networkTypes => [ 'GoogleSearch' ],
    });

    The network types are:

    * GoogleSearch

    * SearchNetwork

    * ContentNetwork

    From the Adwords website:

      When creating a new campaign, if no targeting is specified, the default targeting is GoogleSearch. SearchNetwork encompasses GoogleSearch, so GoogleSearch need not be specified when this value is included.
