Checking your SEO rankings in multiple data centres can be a useful thing to have a look at. Showing you how your rankings are in variuos Google data centres (DC) at the same time. As Google does a rolling update of its data taking DC into and out of their active configuration to be updated. Sometime the DC you’re getting info on isn’t using the most recent set of data. This is espescially useful when google are carrying out an algorithm update or during technology changes – as you can see the changes rolling out across DC.

McDar has traditioanlly been the palce to go and check out results. It allows you to check by IP block for results. I like the way the results are outputted but you can only check about 6 DC on one screen.
Bill just sent me a link to a new DC checking tool – they need to do some work on the output of the results as they scroll down for about half a mile. But you get loads of differing DC checked at the on time.
If anyone knows of any other tools that do this job stick them in the comments below and I’ll have a squizz.

Thank you for sharing google data center tools. I’ll try to look for other tools and share it here.
I always use the tools at iwebtool they have over 30 free tools to use similar to this one, howver, this is byfar the best DC tool I have seen thanks!
great tool. thanks for sharing
thanks , great..
mc dar this is the tool I have been looking for and forgot about.
That’s a great tool. Thanks!
it often surprises me how different the results are for some data centers.
I’m unable to access the McDar website, I’ve come across other data centre tools but how do I get them to show UK based results?
Thanks
To get UK based results is kinda tricky. Will run off and dig you out some tools that may be able to do this for you – McDar seems to be offline now (which is a bit of a pain) but there are many alternatives out there.
just noticed that McDar is still down – had hoped it was a small outage.
