How COOL! I can check Google SERPs from different datacenters and see how I rank in each different world region for different keyphrases. This could be extremely useful for those who are doing international business and wish to localize different products to different areas or track the effectiveness of SEO campaigns by region.

I also noticed something else using this tool. Some of my long tail phrases that I’m just starting to work on optimizing for are very uneven, though the US SERP is consistently better than the others. With phrases that I’ve been ranking well on for a long time I see much less difference between areas, though there is some minor shift. So that means I can probably use this to track how my efforts are coming along for a long tail keyphrase in a more effective way now. I think levelling out the differences is as important for me as moving my site up in the serps, though sites of a regional nature tied to a brick and mortar business might not benefit from this the way I do.

There are also some other pretty cool tools, and all are granular down to the datacenter level. The PR checker shows you your google PR for a page from each datacenter, and also lets you check inurl, link, index site, and other search parameters per datacenter.

Enjoy!
