Jonathan - great article! I couldn't agree more on the importance of targeting audience in paid search. We found that audience optimization is also a very effective strategy in paid search because you can identify and define multiple audience groups and assign a different bid to each one. For example, you might set a higher bid for females age 35-44 because they convert better but you still want to target entire female population. Full discolure: my company, cClearly (http://www.cclearly.com), provides technology for identifying, targeting and optimizing audience in paid search and allows you to use thousands of different criteria to target and optimize by leveraging zip code bid modifiers.
