Hello, can anyone explain to me that for some reason i'm ranking high for all my terms, then when i reset Internet Explorer, i shift back down to where i've always been. Its very strange, as i get all excited, it seems to be around midnight every day, just after i've been on googles keyword toolbox. Appreciate any help here. Damn, thought i'd made it to number one !
Depends, how new is your site? Google is constantly moving new sites around in the results. Keep link building and try not to check on your site's ranking too often when it is young. The ranking you see will not be representative of where it will ultimately sit once the site has aged.
Browsers can show different results mate. You can watch a video from Matt Cutts explaining why : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNvswKFY17E Also, if you want to look at your SERPs normally, do the ff: 1. Log off from your Google account (gDocs, gmail or any G account) on the current browser your using for Google search queries. 2. Disable customised search based on user's activity under Web History 3. Or, use online proxies such as ninjacloak.com
This happens if your site is comparatively new. Also try to use some proxy sites in your country. Some Tips: Do not Sign In to Gmail account while you are checking rankings Clear cookies and web history if possible. Try to check your rankings using multiple browser also like Mozzila Firefox, Crome etc..
Yes it is young, i suppose how young is three months. Everyone keeps telling me to just link build, add content, write articles etc then after around 9 months to a year, something just happens and the visitors start coming. I suppose i just need to slow down, checking stats everyday, who am i kidding. Right. Thanks for the inputs.
To know the genuine search results, I would recommend you to use region specific proxy website like if you want to know the positions of your website in US, you can use zend2.com or browser9.com
Hello, sorry can you explain more about incognito mode and how to select it, i'm not sure, where, how or what this term is and represents. Thank you experience.
It's the Google dance. Keep building backlinks, (articles, etc) Don't give up and don't check it every day. It will settle soon.
then when i reset Internet Explorer if by this you mean, you cleared your cookies, then that's the reason. Google tracks previous searches by dropping cookies - the results that look so good are personalised to your search behaviour - only you see these results http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/pda/2009/dec/07/google-personalised-search
You're seeing a personalized search result.....sites saved in your cookies and history come up higher in SERPS. It's one of the real pains about needing to check our own sites.
The best solution is to check your keyword rankings with seo moz. It will tell you the perfect rankings and there are some more tools that can tell your rankings, where as you can also check them with webmaster tools.
