3 Tricks To Open Google.com Instead Of Google.co.xx Or Google.xx

Well this is not something that everybody may need but in case you need it, it’s damn important. I mean what if somebody wishes to negate the country specific search filters used by Google or may be for a blogger like me, who wants to check his keywords on SERPs(Search Engine Resulting Pages) for Google.com instead of only Google.co.in. Check out these tricks to solve this annoyance.

Whenever we type Google, google.com, www.google.com we get redirected to our country specific Google page i.e Google.co.in for India or Google.co.uk for UK. Use the following methods to stop this redirection.

Trick #001 :

Type http://www.google.com/intl/en/ or google.com/intl/en/ instead of typing www.google.com or google. Once you load the URL, it ends up opening the International English version. Make your searches here. If you have typed intl/en in place of intl/en/, you may get a 404 error page. Do not worry. Use the search box, you will get proper results.

Trick #002 :

Open the URL(http://www.americanlandmarkfence.com/) instead opening Google. This is really funny stuff, you will actually see the Google homepage. The only notable dissimilarity is that it doesn’t have the “Sign In” option at the top right corner. Once you make your search using the search box, you will get redirected to Google.com automatically.

Trick #003 :

There is yet another way provided by Google itself on its country-specific search pages. Look at the bottom of the search page. You will find a link named “Go to Google.com”. Click the link and you will land right on Google.com. The embedded link is http://www.google.com/ncr. “ncr” stands for “No Country Redirect”.

This could be used on the other side also,

www.google.co.in/ncr – Lands on Google India

www.google.co.uk/ncr – Lands on Google UK.

Well those are most convenient ones I figured out. If you have any other tricks, please share it with us via comments.
