    Hi guys, I do SEO for some target keyword (not too competitive ones) at recent weeks and satisfied with the result I achieve now. The problem is, the result if I search using mozille firefox is different with one if I search using internet explorer. I use the same google site (google.co.id) for both explorer. The result is different also if I use google.com.

    Anybody can explain why?
    tq.

    I had this explained to me, I forget the exact answer, but yes, this can indeed happen, and it may have to do with browser cache, but again, I am not sure. To be sure, try searching through an anonymous proxy like pagewash.com or hidemyass.com. That should give you an unbiased result when you average out the 2 results.

    yes, its the browser. the browser that you don't use the most will have the accurate ranking. for example, i use FF all the time. but when I want to see how I'm doing in the SE's, I check my ranking on IE.

    Please delete your cookies from IE AND FF. If you are searching as a guest then search as a guest in both explorer to see the result . DO not login and then search .. It can change the positions of website ranking in SE.

    Its generally happens due to cookies So delete your cookies and search history first than search your keyword, its will show you correct result...
