Can I fool the search engines/websites of my current location? Need help on this.

Hi,

I am not living in the States, and I am planning
to start a PPC Campaign over here.

The problem is, since my computer is not over here,
the Search Engines wouldn't show me the PPC Search
Results for my keywords...

So I can't see my competitions PPC Ads...

This could pose to be quite a problem, it's like
shooting with one eye close, and the other one
that's opened, it's only half opened.

Is there a way to fool the Search Engines to
think that my computer's current location is
in the States?

Does anyone have the solution for this?

Thanks in advance,

Terry

There are several proxy services that you can use to fool an endpoint that you are somewhere other than your location. When I worked in the States, some of the other Aussies I was over with used a proxy to get access to an Australian Rule Football website that only allowed access from within Australia. So it can be done.

I haven't needed to do this so I'm not sure exactly how you go about it, but I did a quick search on Google for 'using a proxy to hide your location' and came up with a lot of results. I suggest you can track down exactly what you need by refining your searches.
