Thanks for the reply, however I dont log in to google when I view results, I simply visit Google.co.uk or Google.com and perform whatever search I require.
I also regularly clean my cookies and cache etc...
This still isn't enough these days
Personal Web Search still gets through...
The only way to turn it off is to add
&pws=0 to the queries.
If you were to incorporate a drop down menu and allow people to select different regions, then it will become very usful again. Of course you would need a lot more specific proxies for this, but you could do it.
Ouch.
We have thousands proxies in our network that allow us to provide the level of information that we currently do.
To provide the same sort of data in every localized region...
Let's take the UK for example.
If Google is showing slightly different results to people in London to people in Manchester, then we'd need thousands of proxies in both of those locations...
Multiply that by 86 counties in Britain, and thousands more counties, regions, cities, municipalities and states all over the world and we're looking at a proxy network that would potentially require us to provide hundreds-of-millions of proxy IPs.
We just can't do it.
If we could, it would certainly mean an end to Market Samurai being a $97 product.
We'll continue to do everything we can do to target results as accurately as we can to a specific region - but there's a limit to what we can reasonably do.
If you're wanting to target results back to your local computer, perhaps the best option is to turn proxies off inside Market Samurai. It will mean you won't be able to get as much data as quickly, and you will probably get temporarily banned from searching Google as an end user, but it might be a solution that gives you what you're after.

But as i'm not using english/english they said MS didn't properly support the language (which is a very bad answer as it worked perfectly until now).
@djprog - send me a private message with your ticket number re: the english/english query. I'd like to find out more about this. It sounds like there are wires crossed somewhere.
But they could be right - you're no longer ranking in the same position for "English/England" as "English/All Countries and Territories" - and just because the rankings used to be the same doesn't mean Google's algorithm hasn't changed.

+ I'm also getting bad numbers of search/month in exact search (most of the time i get ZERO daily search in MS whereas I get some daily search from g00gle keyword tool...)
This doesn't sound right...
Market Samurai is going straight to the Google Keyword tool as a raw source for keyword data, taking the monthly figure and turning it into a daily figure.
If you're looking at a keyword that has 5 searches per month, and Market Samurai says it has 0 searches (on average) per day, then it makes sense.
