My rankings - from computer to computer

I have found that depending on which computer i check my position on google is different. for example on my computer at work i find that I am ranked #5 on google.com (KW Calgary web design)And at home i am ranked #3 Can anyone one else confirm my ranking? also when I use IBP to check it says #2?????

Can anyone tell me a good serp checker?

 

As you use different computer they might be using different google data centers. Also, you might know about google personalised search which will affect the ranking.

 

I can see you on three.. Check your rankings in different datacentres here http://www.webrankinfo.com/english/tools/google-data-centers.php

 

It's mean you often looking for backlink to your site , and you do that on your computer. Just same like me, i think google want to cheat us hahaha, so they put our site on high rank (but only on our Pc) ...

 

i have seen this happen before. Try checking in a few more days and all pc's should reflect the same ranking. wonder what really causes this to happen when google does the ranking update?

 

Thanks I id not know that existed before. Is there a dot.ca version of the google data centers?

 

This has recently happened to me. If affected my Australia client that I wanted to be ranked on google.com.au .. I waited a few days and it seemed to reflect the same ranking eventually.

 

You are seeing your personalized search results. If you are logged in to Google on one computer and not on the other you will see different results based on your individual search habits.

Do this; on the same computer log in to your Google account and view the results, then log out of your account and check the results and you will see the difference.

 

Actually you don't have to be logged into a Google account to see personalised results - it's cookie based and will be on any computer you use - but as you don't do exactly the same on different computers, you won't get the same results. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/personalized-search-for-everyone.html
Everybody sees slightly different results - based on browser history, cookies, geo-location, data centres and probably if you prefer tea or coffee

 

google remembers what you search so if you search it alot it comes up more to the top

 

I think google is returning personalized search results, If you clicked on your own listing in the seeach engine result pages google remembers it that you preferred this listing and it moves that results towards the top next time you search for the same keyword. You may want to sign out of google completely and empty all the cookies and search again, this time you might get different results.

 

Got me but this thread now ranks #5 and soon it will be higher than your site

 

It's all due to data appearing to you from different data centers

 

try to check the result globally on google.com. I think you use different data centres. For example, if I check the result on google.com on computer A and I check the result in google.co.in on B, both returns different results. You did the same and you found the difference in the ranking with the same keyword on different pcs.

 

The same thing happens with I check my ranking on my android device or my computer.

 

Week back I've got first position for my keyword. But after that I have realized that Google has given that result using their customized results. After I disabled that again its started showing original result.

 

You are right because I have already faced it with my Mozilla Firefox 3.5. After deleting cookies you will get exact result. And if you Google Chrome, you will not face any problem in it.

 

This happens to me all the time. It might be that you're clicking the site too many times on your home computer and that's why it's always ranked higher/lower. Everyone's computer is different, though.

 

Exactly.

Try to clear your cookies or use another browser from your usual one and you will see the real result.

 

Is there a way to turn off personalized search?
