There are tools that uses Cloud based IP so that they can get result exact from that location that includes tools like advanced web rankings and Rank Watch.

Try any of these tools and I think you will be able to see the results from certain locations.

Hope this helps!

P.S. VPN is also a good option!

I am not sure if there is any link but I guess if you run screaming frog that will tell you how many of links that are going out contain follow and no follow tag but again for that you actually have to go URL by URL so this will not really going to cut any of your time.

I would love to hear from any other person in the community who is either using this kind of tool or know this kind of tool exist.

Joel, this was a buzz in the bubble that you should register your domain for longer period of time and all that but to be honest research and experiments that i run simply proves me that this is no impact on your rankingss.

I mean if you are doing great on your content and attracting high quality links all ethically there is no way you will get down in SERPs just because your competitor have invest on the domain for 10 years and you did that for a year only.

In your given scenario the best idea is to leave a message a t the top of the page that the product is discontinued and for new products take them to the new products page. Leaving them no follow or follow is up to you.

1. If you will leave them follow with a custom message that will take them to a relevant page will help decrease the overall bounce rate of the website.
2. If you no-follow them it slowly and gradually will be no index from the Google and the traffic that was coming from search engine to those pages will be discounted.

If I would be at your place, I would have designed the powerful message with bright color at the top of the page and will leave them follow as this will allow some of the traffic on that page to move to other areas of the website.

Hope this helps!

WHOIS is a good way to find their contact information and if this is not working find them on social media like facebook or twitter as most websites usually respond to that. If this isn’t working, I don’t think you are left with much option and you probably have to give the bad news to your client.

Another thing you can do is to see where they are fetching their data from if they are fetching data from big data aggregators you can fix the information there and it will get update accordingly.

Hope this helps!
