What is the best way to view real UK serps from another country?

    Hi, i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to find a proxy or ssh account with ssh tunnel ability so that I can view uk results.
    I know about things like &gl=uk but I want to see exactly what a uk user would see.
    A proxy server would be the easiest. The problem is that I can't find any reliable uk proxy servers. I would gladly pay for this if I could find something decent.
    I have also looked in getting an ssh account so I could do ssh tunneling but have not found anything yet.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    thanks

    Yes but exactly what a uk ip address would see?

    I know i basically need a proxy server.
    I assume the SEO gurus out there have proxy servers for every country. Do they set those up themselves?

    Well, yes, you could do something complicatedly seo guruish with multiple proxys across the world
    Or you could just click this -
    https://adwords.google.com/select/AdTargetingPreviewTool

    which is the tool google provides for advertisers, that shows you how search result pages look in different locations.

    Any ideas for msn? I know adcenter claims you can use mkt=en-gb but through testing i have found this does not work.

    search for your keywords with www.geoseo.com, it will let you view the real UK google results.

    good luck.

    google.co.uk has already been suggested by somebody. An alternative is to go to proxy.org's list of proxies sorted by country of server. Then just pick a uk hosted proxy and visit google.co.uk through it:
