Just a quick one about the Google webmaster tools, on the query stats page it show keywords from my site and the position my site shows up when that keyword is searched for..Most keywords are stating #1 position, yet when I search Google for it I don't show up no where near the 1st page? Just a bit baffled, is it Google messing up or a sign of things to come for my site?
I am noticing this too. It says the average position yet I check 5-10 pages after the average position and I still don't show up. I have tried this using both google.com and google.co.uk and both are the same.
Thanks for the replys - I have checked both .co.uk \ .com like glendowney has yet its the same. Has anybody else noticed this? I'm just hoping this is a sign that in a near update my keywords are going to start hitting good positions, if not why would the Google tools show such high positions yet not be effective on the actual search?
