    Hi, is there a place where I can see real-time results of my ads and click on them without incurring my ppc cost.

    I once got to a preview adwords screen which showed search results... I forgot where that was.

    I've had a problem where my links have been correct and have worked when tested internally, but when tested on another pc for instance - google sent me to a parking site.

    Yes Google has its own Ad Preview Tool which allows you to test your ads without incurring any costs.

    With the preview tool you can definately click on the ad without cost? For testing.

    My understanding of the Ad Preview tool is that it allows you to see the ads for a key word without any user specific bias. So if you were running a US campaign while sitting in UK, you could see what the results would be for the US audience.

    You can't click on any links in the Ad Preview tool results.
