see google ads running in other areas

[mor2000]

Hi
I am based in Ireland and therefore see irish served google ads even if i use google.com and not google.ie

Now i run an affiliate program and i would like to see
the the google ads my affiliates are running in the US.

Is there any way to do this?

Also, if you own a specific url, can you get google to stop people using it as an destination url

Thanks for your help

Try changing your proxy to an a vailable public proxy and then performing the search,, remember to always switch babk to your norm before filling out any forms or passwords when on a proxie,, if you need to see your ads in california,, do a google search for ca public proxy ect,,,

i think google's adsense preview tool will do exactly what you are looking for.

Tried that one ourselves, it only tells you that your ad showed up correctly but it lacks the ability to actually see your ads the way it is displayed to the client.
when you try to preview the ad,, you still receive your local content. i believe google is working on it.

The only way we know of at this point is to run a separate system without firewall with a proxy from the area you are trying to view,, and or set your firewall with the proxy but much easier to just set up a system on its own with direct connect for the proxy to work.

It will only show those who have opted into the content network though, not all.

Google takes your ip address and shows you only ads designated to your area,, this if your in california or lets say Texas,,

if you live in Ireland and want to see what the person
see's in california,, its a no go,, not even the tool
will show you,, when you try the tool you still only see
what is from your local area,,.

the tool ..will however,, tell you if your ads are showing
up for your client but when you go to click on preview
you still get the same stuff you would if you had typed
the keyword in yourself,,.

there is no system in place as of yet to overcome this
problem,,

google is working on it.

going through a proxy located in the area you want to
view is currently the only way to view what your client
are looking at that we know of.
