SEO Blog

We’re launching a toolbar later this week. It’s designed for SEO’s , and people interested in search engines. It has a few nice features, and helps you run a quick review of your site.

I decided to include a Google DataCenter checker. The toolbar actually hits most of the active datacenters. At random, as part of testing, I selected 64.233.179.104 and 64.233.161.99. I noticed that for my query there were almost 5x the results in the first datacenter as compared to the second. So I ran a few checks on other datacenters. Quite a large variation in the number of results.

It seems that not only are the datacenters starting to flux again, but the size of the index is varying much more wildly than usual.

Query                         datacenter                  datacenter
                                 64.233.179.104         64.233.161.99

Spend Management   155,000,000                  68,500,000
Traffic Volume             70,900,000                  27,000,000
nasty quotes                  9,340,000                    2,820,000

I’ll be watching this over the next few days. We’ll also put the toolbar up for download shortly. Your comments will be welcome!
