Welly Mulia Kenneth,

Not trying to speak for Dan, but you can add this string at the end of the query url:

“&gl=us” (without quotes) => if you want to see ads that show up in the US

For example, if I’m searching for “turbo tax”

http://www.google.com/search?q=turbo+tax&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

you can add “&gl=us” so that it becomes:
http://www.google.com/search?q=turbo+tax&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gl=us

Hope this helps!

I'm sure there will be a way if you are into setting up your own proxy server to run from but that's over my head I'm afriad :-) Hi Ken,

I noticed this immediately because I live in Spain. The ppcwebspy(the free version anyway) does not work via a proxy server. Thus your limited to looking at the ads that are displayed in your own country only. If you know of a workaround for this please let me know because it is indeed a very useful tool. With thanks, Ken.
