Google Data Centers - How to resolve different SERPs for me and client?

[sivac]

Hi,

I am in Asia and my client in US. But i saw good result for my SEO effert in google and my client saw different result. I think it may be cause of Google data center. Let me know the solution for this.

How can i show my good result to my US client. How i over come the data centers problem.

Thanks!

I think the best you can do is to use the same regional search engine. Your client is most likely using Google.com and perhaps you are using, I don't know, Google.jp or whatever. You should each be performing searches using the dot com region, from there, most of the datacentre fluctuations are negligible.

Also, make sure you both have Web History turned off and both your search histories are deleted. Seems like Google has started to more personalize searches based on previous search result selections. I haven't really noticed much of this phenomena yet but it does exist.

Hello sivac, and welcome to the forums.

There's some past threads here that might help you sort this out. They are available in the Hot Topics area [webmasterworld.com], which is always pinned to the top of this forum's index page. In the sections labeled "-- GEO-TARGETED SEARCH --" and "-- DATA CENTERS --" you will find these threads:

Data Centers & IP Addresses [webmasterworld.com] - how can I know where results come from
Up on all Data Centers [webmasterworld.com] - but down on google.com

Also, don't forget that Google now serves up "personalized results" even for people who are logged out of their Google Account, as they already did for those who are logged in. So you may also be tripping over that issue - see our long thread:
