How do I view ads for US from India?

Does the preview report runtime?

I have setup some ads for US, I do I view it from India? I am using [adwords.google.com...] does it report runtime?

Thanks,
Aji

u can search for ur keyword in google.com and add "&gl=us" (without the quotes) at the end of the url to view google's result for US.
u could also use any 1 of the proxy sites to view the same.

Hello AjiNIMC,

I was just now reading some older threads and spotted this one, which I had not noticed before.

I'd also like to suggest the Ad Preview tool - about which you will find more info here:

* What is the Ad Preview tool?
[adwords.google.com...]

Quoting from that page:

The Ad Preview tool enables you to view ads and search results as they would appear on a regular Google search results page, without accruing extra impressions for your ad. We suggest you view your ad through the Ad Preview tool, since searching for your ad multiple times could change the position in which you see your ad on the actual Google search result page.

To perform a test search with the Ad Preview tool, follow these steps:

1. Go to [google.com...]
2. Enter a keyword.
3. Enter a Google domain, such as google.com or google.fr.
4. Select a display language.
5. Select a location. You can choose a location from the drop-down menus, or you can enter specific latitude and longitude coordinates.
6. Click Preview ads.

The search results and ads appear as they would on Google, except the links on the preview page aren't clickable.

This feature is also available for mobile ads.

Thanks AWA,

I have been using this, now I know why it is critical to use it for regular testing.

Thanks again, you rock.
