Hi Oskar!
Thanks a lot! Glad you like my blog =) I’ll check your too today after work And see you on Twitter as well

As for proxies.. well.. I use FoxyProxy add-on for FireFox, but you still need to get a proxy somewhere. You can try free ones (which I do not recommend. They are either slow, or don’t work at all) or buy one. There are plenty of places for that.

Good luck with learning Russian Let me know if you need help =)

Love your posts Verona.

Quick question: you mention to use a russian proxy to check russian rankings, I gather for Yandex and Google.ru. Could you expand upon that a bit more? How do you do it, by using a firefox add-on?

Again, I am learning a lot, I just need to polish my russian now (by polishing I mean starting to learn the alphabet : )).

Great job.

Thanks! This new geotargeting is quite interesting, although does not work properly in many cases.
Are you working with Russia somehow too?
