If you use Mozilla Firefox as your primary browser, and have the need or desire to see Google search from different geographical locations,  Google Global allows you to view organic and paid Google search results as they appear in different countries, cities, regions, ZIP codes and IP addresses.

This is a particularly useful feature if you are an internet marketer wanting to run regional campaigns, for example, being an affiliate for a dating service. Or, wanting to set up a virtual mall of local businesses, and needing to scope out the competition and what kind of traffic you can hope for.

Presently there are two versions of Google Global, Version 1 and Version 2.

Version 2 is compatible with Firefox 3, and is a completely rewritten version, so it is not compatible with Version 1.

If you’ve already installed Version 1, but would like the 20 added features and benefits Version 2 offers, then you’ll need to uninstall Version 1 and Install Version 2.

Unlike most Firefox add ons, this one isn’t available from the Mozilla Firefox website.

To install you’ll need to visit the developer’s website at http://www.redflymarketing.com/blog/google-global-view-results-different-locations/

Click on the Install Now button, and follow the installation directions.  You’ll need to restart Firefox to begin using it.

Once your browser has restarted, you’ll see a menu listing all your present Firefox add ons.

Highlight Google Global and choose “options”.  There you can choose to de-personalize your search results and to open Google Global Results in a different tab.

You can now use Google Global from your search results or from your toolbar.

Selling Beyond eBay: Foolproof Ways to Reach More Customers and Make Big Money on Rival Online Marketplaces

eBay is still the world’s most popular auction site, but it’s not the only one on the block any longer. Selling Beyond eBay offers potent strategies for targeting not just more buyers, but the right buyers, at other online auction sites that are rapidly gaining in popularity.

By getting the benefits from specialty sites (niche sites), other auction sites, and online storefronts, sellers can increase their profits significantly. Knowing your niche is a far better way to make money on line these days than the ’scattershot’ approach. Knowing the ins and outs of all the online auction sites will give you even more of a competitive edge.

In this book the readers will find:

* Descriptions and reviews of hot auction sites and marketplaces like uBid, iOffer, Yahoo! Auctions, Overstock Auctions, Bidville, Bid4Assets, ebid.tv, and Amazon

* Profiles of successful sellers using these sites in addition to (or instead of) eBay

* Step-by-step instructions for creating and managing online storefronts

* Options for combining online storefront sales with eBay auction sales

* Details on how to expand sourcing options in order to sell more merchandise

With author Greg Holden having written seven other books on this subject, he is no stranger to eBay. Holden writes that in terms of growth, eBay is not the shooting star it once was. It has become more and more competitive as it gets more crowded than it used to be, so Power Sellers are finding new places to sell online.

eBay is still the most popular auction site, but it’s not the only one. Sellers are complaining of the ever-increasing fees, the increasing number of competitors, and the power that eBay holds over their members and the whole system.

So if you’re looking for more sites to sell online, (and let’s face it, you can never have too many sales channels in this economy), it’s time to start Selling Beyond eBay.

Doing so is an easy way to make a few dollars or more. The set up is quick and easy and this book will help you get started with its invaluable insider advice, hints and tips.
