Help me fool the Big G...

5 replies
A few days ago I jumped on the keyword spying bandwagon and got my copy of Brad Callen's new piece of software.

Since then I've been toying with it - and it has been a constant source of frustration for me.

NONE OF MY KEYWORDS HAD ANY RESULTS!
Or if they did, there would be max 3 advertisers, and the results were not targeted at all.

This lead me to much confusion, wondering if my niche was just not profitable, etc.

Then it just hit me:

I'm not in good ole' America anymore - and the Big G takes notice!

As I'm spending a while here in the Philippines, and thus am automatically filtered out of most of my (smart") competitor's audience ..... I'm left wondering how do I fix this?

How do I fool the Big G into believing I'm accessing the search results from America in order to get the most relevent results for my market?

Anyone ever faced a similar problem? How did you cope with it?

Alex.

    Setup a proxy server on a US hosting account.

    Otherwise there are free proxy servers all over the web, just do a search.

    Check out a Firefox plugin called Google Global. Google it, it may help you out.

    Ok, just checked Google Global - No luck. All the software does is query different google websites, but you're still getting your country targeted results in the end.

    Now trying to set up some proxy ...
