I am in Europe and would like to put my ads up at google.com
How can I see my ads?

Anonymizer is the only way to see my ads right now, but it's very slow.

Could Google please provide a link *without* country IP and referrer filtering *asap* for customers NOT in the US so we can see our ads.

Goto Google and type "anonymous browsing" in the search bar. You will probably find hundreds of websites (both free and paid) like Anonymizer.

If your ads are in top 4, you can also use AOL.

Do you receive clicks and impressions from your campaigns?

I would think the only time you cannot see your ads is if your country (the one you are in) was not chosen by you as one of the targetted countries.

Otherwise you should see your ad.

Yes, but it's a pain to have to surf anonymous just to see our ad.

We sell most of our products in US so we have to surf anonymous every time to exactly determine the position of our ads and competition, but it's the only way right now.

SEOPTI, if you searched the archives you would have found this tip -

On the Google toolbar there is a section called "Page Info".
On the drop down menu there is a "Translate into English" option. Click on this and it will bring up US results.

Robert, thanks for the tip, but it will still do IP country filtering, even with translation, it does not work this way.

Why didn't I think of it in the first place? ;)

Seopti: goto [google.us...] and search for your keywords

Voila!

vibgyor79, not bad, but Google still does IP and country filtering, even with Google.us

I belive there is no Google version without this filtering on the web.

SEOPTI - If Google does IP and country filtering, why can I see "US only" ads here in Australia using the method I described above?

Go to [www-sj.google.com...] .
You will see your USA results there.
