Hey guys, For the past 3 weeks I've been seeing different results in Firefox than in IE on all computers for a particular search phrase I'm working on for a client. The "Goal" for the client is considered achieved once the site hits position #3 for their keyphrase. At some times during the day in Firefox, the site shows in #3, no matter if I'm logged in, logged out, at work, at home, using a proxy, cleared cache, etc. And usually if it's showing in #3 in FF, it's showing #5 in IE. There are some times during the day, however, that the site sites in #3 on both browsers, but it quickly changes, alternating back and forth. it never shows #5 in both browsers, just one or the other. I've done the following to eliminate local (computer/browser-based) causes: Used CCleaner to clear all history, temp files, cache, etc. Manually cleared cache from browsers Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, downgraded and re-upgraded IE Installed Chrome, and still seeing jumping results Logged into google account, logged out of google account Used several online "free" proxy/anonymous browsing sites Used paid proxies Tried from home and office computers, as well as 3 different connections at work (We have a T1, Cable, and DSL all on separate networks) What on earth is happening to me, and is anyone else seeing it? I've been working on ranking a site for 4 months, and until it reaches #3 I don't get paid! So it's driving me crazy because I run to the client saying "Loook!!! it's 3rd, it's 3rd!!" and they pull it up on their computer and it's 5th. I'm slamming my head into the wall here... Thank you everyone!
It is caffeine, I have been seeing the same thing Internet explorer usually shows caffeine more than ff, you can see the difference here http://www.comparecaffeine.com/ At this moment in time both IE and FF are showing caffeine but it changes all the time
